This was our first real day exploring the city. We were advised to go and see the monkey temple. Sabeen told us to walk east in a straight line and we would find the temple no problem. The thing is..there are no straight lines in Kathmandu!
Each road meanders into another splitting again, side streets leading in different directions again..it is an absolute maze!

The climb to the temple was pretty big, we took our time and eventually came face to face with the gigantic shrine.
We were greated by bright colour prayer flags dancing in the sky, 'Om Mani Padme Hum' mantra echoing all around, a spectacular view of the urban chaos of the city surrounded by breathtaking mountains, the pictures will tell the rest...
