Today we visited three distinctly different temples around Kathmandu.
The first, The Monkey Temple, is located on the top of a hill overlooking Kathmandu. It is the oldest known Stupa.
The second we visited was the largest Stupa in the world.
And the third site was the Hindu cremation ghats, where we were unable to take any photos.
This is a shot of the 'Toorak' of Kathmandu where a three storey house on a 50m x 50m plot could cost $300,000 AUD.
And why so few new cars? Probably because there is a 240% tax on the import price.
The travel around Kathmandu was punctuated with sessions in absolutely mad traffic. This is a shot of the Chinese Government built Kathmandu ring road....
We are now finalising preparations for our trip to Chitwan National Park. It is a six hour bus trip which should prove interesting on Nepal's less than smooth roads.
