Such a delightful Trip

This tour was a very good decision and we had just a day left after going trekking in Ghorepani. We learned so much about the rich ancient history of Nepal, with amazing architecture.  We were inspired by the harmonious co-existence of different religious groups of people.

Bhaktapur Durbar Square was our favorite, however, we liked the Monkey Temple, where monkeys were living along with people.

Great experience.
