Total: 20 postcards

  • Chinese set (30 cards)

    The scan shows you thumbnail views of the 30 cards in this unused set, which was made and sold in China and has never been in Nepal.  Each card shows the location in Chinese and western letters on the front.  Most cards come from Pokhara, some from Bodhnath, Phewa Lake–but not much from Kathmandu.  These cards are sturdy and attractive and we have no idea whether or not the publisher also exports them to Nepal.  Grade: 1

  • Mt. Fishtail – Annapurna

    Wikipedia tells us:  “Machapuchare, Machhapuchchhre or Machhapuchhre (from Nepali माछापुच्छ्रे , meaning ‘fishtail’), Tamu: कतासुँ क्लिको, is a mountain in the Annapurna Himalayas of north central Nepal. It is off limit to climbers to preserve its shape and beauty.” In view of what’s apparently happening on Mt. Everest, that seems just as well.  Unused card, using the hand-made paper for which Nepal is noted.  Grade: 1

  • Kumari

    In Nepal, a Kumari is a prepubescent girl selected from the Shakya caste or Bajracharya clan of the Nepalese Newari Buddhist community.
