Back to civilisation

After our 10 hour drive back to Kathmandu in jeep without any suspension, we are invited to Sujit's place in Dhulikel, about 1.5 hour from Katmandu with public transportation (40c ride by the way). But before the party starts, Sujit has invited me to make a presentation in his University which is about 1km from his house.

The University and his house are only separated by some rice fields almost ready to harvesting at that time of the year.

After dressing Yvonne with traditional clothes for the evening, we enjoy fantastic food including a famous chilly Chicken, the best we've ever had. And of course some dancing to Nepalese music.

The next day, we do a bit of cultural site seeing with the town of Bhaktapur, on the way back to Kathmandu. It's an old town showing traditional architecture.







Back to Katmandu, we take an afternoon to visit the famous "monkey temple", a Hindu temple on a hill just outside of town. Make sure you're not afraid of monkeys since there are a LOT of them and they tend to be pretty cheeky, especially if you have any kind on food in your hands, they wont hesitate to get it from you.
