I say this at every opportunity I get: “As a photo enthusiast, Nepal is the best place in the world to be” and I don’t say that just because I love my country. No matter which genre of photography you prefer, Nepal has the finest selection of subjects and opportunities around every bend. Here is a selection of my photographs, grouped by genre, from around the country:
An old man from TeraiA Tharu girl in traditional attireNewari lady from Kirtipur

I have to agree with all your points, Om. Nepal is endlessly fascinating for a photographer (and anyone else, I think.)

Wonderful pictures, Om Ji.
While I agree on most of what you said about how Nepal can cater to the photographic needs of many, I think it’s kind of an overstatement to say that it is indeed the best place for photography. I think Nepal still has a long way to go in commercial, fashion, functions (weddings, ceremonials) photography. It sure is one of the best places if you’re looking for nature, wildlife, portraits and street photography.
Thank you Anish ji!
Absolutely! I agree that photography has a long way to go in Nepal but then I was talking about the variety and abundance of photo opportunities.

yes, Nepal has much more to offer to a photographer’s delight. The above collection, I feel, is just a glimpse of the abundant natural, cultural and architectural photo opportunities that Nepal has.
