So where were all the monkeys? I only saw about three. This temple (Swayambhunath) is on a hill overlooking Kathmandu. It is quite grand, but I still liked Boudanath better. The sellers here were the most aggressive.

buddhist temple and monastery in kathmandu. a totally serene escape from the city. i could have spent all afternoon there. the pizza was good too. I am crazy about prayer flags.

Buddhist monk that Deana knows was there blessing little amulets. Nice guy. But the purple umbrella seems to clash.

hindu temple and premiere open air cremation site. intense. yes the smoke is what you think it is. life and death out in the open.

holy men who pose for a hundred rupee tip.
