With this year’s Dashain festival just a little over a week away, Kathmandu’s markets are teeming with shoppers.
Asan, Indra Chowk and other places are seeing an increase in the number of Dashain shoppers including kite buyers.
According to traders, kite sales have gone up as Dashain is fast approaching.
