The extremely holy temple and grounds of Pashupatinath, a place of Shiva worship and body burning, no shoes, old sadhus and lots of Hindus.
apparently, punk is not dead.

terraced fields and a nearby farmhouse
I spent a few days working on the Double Rainbow Farm just outside of Kathmandu. We harvested a ton of garlic, learned about organic farming practices and worked hard while having fun in the bright sun on this small piece of paradise.

stop me if I’ve told you this one before..
a photo from Gujarat back in October that I’m not sure if I posted before but was reminded of while munching on cucumbers at a bus stop on my way back to Kathmandu.

the elephant in the bathroom
So, I bathed an elephant and it was pretty much the coolest thing ever.
The awesomeness of these gentle creatures is unbelievable and their skin feels like the leathery, calloused hands of a Saharan carpenter.
I’m considering elephant driver for a future career.

into the wild
we went to Chitwan National Park where we saw some animals in lots of beautiful wilderness.
Thankfully we didn’t need to run for our lives from any charging rhinos.

It’s easy to do nothing in Kathmandu. Especially after you’ve been propelling yourself up mountains for two weeks, but Mike and I managed to do something one day and went for a small trip to the hilltop Buddhist site, Swayambhu.
It dominates the hilltop and is visible from almost everywhere in Kathmandu. There are rows upon rows of prayer wheels surrounding the large stupa and amazing views of sprawling Kathmandu.
