Hanuman Ghat and more
19-Nov-2000 thru 21-Nov-2000

Hanuman Ghat is a bathing spot on the side of a small (and putrid) stream in Bhaktapur. Legend has it that this is one of the spots that Hanuman the Monkey God rested on his flight back to Sri Lanka from Tibet with Mt. Kailash gripped in his hand.
