Bandipur Festival

Well, we had a rather interesting festival occur here on the weekend of 14th December, the 'Bandipur Festival'. It was mainly set up to promote the town for tourism. There were lots of flags put up in the main street and many stalls in the big open space called Thundikel. But that was about it, the stalls didn't have much to offer some interesting Newari food and some very funny hygiene stalls demonstrating why people shouldn't poo in fields or water, you can see in the picture of the poster above, they get straight to the point.

I don't know how but they managed to get an elephant up here as the picture demonstrates above, it squeezing under the banners and flags, the kids loved it. Also, I had to post the picture of me walking with some of the boys, because it really makes me look like a giant, even though I should know that by now 
