The oldest part of Kathmandu has gone through constant change - from the influences brought about by traders on the salt route between China and India to upheavals by kings ranging from the local Mallas or the Persian influenced Shahs, or the arrival of the western culture through hippies in the sixties, and more recently through the advent of social media.
Yet the strong sense of culture that the locals of Kathmandu adheres to perseveres, with its constant push and pull.
As you walk the inners of the city with Prabod, you start understanding this - the influences of a cultural practice guided by Tantra, influenced by politics and urbanisation, and the cross-cultural modernising influences on youth from the '60s onwards.
