Nobody has more fun on a royal tour than Prince Harry. On a five-day visit to Nepal, one year after a devastating earthquake, Harry is seeing the sights and encouraging the survivors trying to rebuild. Here he visits the Golden Temple in Patan Durbar in Patan, Nepal,on March 20, a day after his arrival. The square, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, was damaged during the 2015 earthquake.

Nepal and Nepalis seemed delighted to greet Harry on his first visit to Nepal. Even the elephants were welcoming. Harry visited Bardia National Park in Western Nepal on day three of his visit to Nepal on March 21, 2016.

The effects of the earthquake, which killed 9,000 people, are still visible nearly a year later, as in this January photo of a Nepalese man walking past piles of debris in Kathmandu. Nepal has launched the much-delayed reconstruction of about 1 million homes and buildings. Harry's tour of the area could bring more attention to the country's slow recovery from last year's disaster.

Harry spoke at the first-ever Nepal Girl Summit in Kathmandu, where he called for more education opportunities for girls. He acknowledged that speaking out for girls has not one of his causes in the past, he's on board now. "I think it's important to acknowledge something that has become obvious to me and is already known to everyone in this room: There are way too many obstacles between girls and the opportunities they deserve," he said. He even acknowledged first lady Michelle Obama and young activist Malala as "role models" for men like him.
