Manakamana

Just a short post. On Saturday we went to Manakamana which is a temple on top of a hill. They have a cable car up to the top but you can walk in 4 or 5 hours if you so wish. We took the cable car. We queued for 1hour and a half which is pretty good as the AVs who are in Laxmi
Bazaar queued for 3 and a half hours.

It is a Hindu temple and so people take sacrificies up. This means that there are three of the cable cars dedicated to carrying goats up. Unfortunately the sacrifices are inside the temple so we didn't get to see any, but there was a lot of blood around the temple. You could also see where they had dragged the carcass away.

As the temple is very high up i.e. the cable car is 3km long or something like that, the views at the top are amazing. We were very lucky and we were above the cloud and it was insanely clear. The mountains were great (I have absolutely no idea which ones they were but apparently they were Annapurna and Manaslu) and there was a blanket of cloud along the valley. We sat and ate lunch and admired the view and the cloud started clearing so we could see more of the valley floor.

Hope you're all well at home, here it is getting sunnier and sunnier and so am building up my tan. As we randomly had a free day on Sunday spent most of it in the sun and so it is surprisingly easy :)
