Monkey Palace
Not too many monkeys at the monkey palace today. There are many 'mini stupa' (pictured above). The dog is sleeping ... a common site in Kathmandu. The dogs are community owned and are generally very well behaved. Another common site throughout Nepal are prayer wheels. The writing says 'Om Mani Padme Hum'. This is the Buddhist mantra. Each wheel is filled with prayers. By spinning the wheels you release your prayer(s) and those of the prayers enclosed.

Activity at Pashupatinath
Today is the first full day in Kathmandu. Number one on the list of place to visit is this very holy place: Pashupatinath. Bodies are cremated, people bathe in holy water, familes mourn their dead with colourful meals, holy men cover their bodies in ash and monkies run amuck.

Wing Over The Himilaya
I have been traveling for over 24 hours already. This is my first glimpse of what is to come. The Himilaya proudly puncture the clouds that cloak the surrounding earth.
