Leisurely breakfast then onto the bus for a tour of some sights of the City.
Streets are crowded as they were in India, and there is still lot of garbage on the sides of the roads, however, doesn't seem as dirty as India.
First stop was to a temple known as the "Monkey Temple" which is said to be over 2000 years old and one of the world's most fabulous Buddhist Temples. This Temple sits at the top of a high hill and commands a spectacular view of the valley below.
Next was Durbur Square.....watched how a Nepalese laundromat works! Then to a pagoda that was thought to have been built from one tree. From there to the Temple of Kumari where the Living Goddess, the Kumari, lives (She is about 7yrs old)!?!
Lunch in the Square...some shopping and then on to a Buddhist Museum. Ended the tour with stops at two of the most important Temples.......the most sacred of all Hindu Temples in Nepal on the bank of the Bagmati River. More bodies being cremated! Again, kinda sad and kinda gruesome....... and then to the world's largest Buddhist Temple situated a short walk from our Hotel. Lots of shops around the stupa (Temple).
Back to the Hotel, a drink and hot tenderloin sandwich in the Lobby Bar and then to bed. Early wake up call (5am) ...... We are taking a plane ride over Everest (weather permitting).
Fingers crossed that the weather cooperates for your scenic flight.
