We spent the morning as a group at Shona’s getting rental gear and last minute gear shopping. Also attempted some tat shopping. Then off to Swayambhu (also known as the monkey temple due to the 10’s of monkeys who live up there) which is a Stupa outside town on a mountain which was amazing because it was above the smog and you could actually breathe instead of drinking the thick polluted air in the city streets. The sunset was stunning from the top and the prayer flags added to the ambience. Quick post as we leave at 5am and it is 11pm here.
