I am now so far behind that I can no longer distinguish the days or what we did on each day so I will attempt a brief recap of what has been happening.
We went to visit the local conjugation of Sadhus. These, as you may recall from Varanasi, India, are the hotel men who live without material goods. I have to say, from the outside looking in briefly, there appears to be a very fine line between the Sadhus and any community of homeless crazy people. Many of them wear little clothes and the temperatures get quite low at night. They also depend on handouts to live….so we did hand over a few dollars to get these snaps. It is interesting and makes for great photo ops.
The other interesting things in this location are the burning ghats. This was much smaller and more intimate than in Varanasi. Completely fascinating. In Nepal, unlike India, woman are involved in the ceremony. Their crying is accepted although some still hold the school of thought that the crying keeps the soul from transitioning.
We visited a senior’s home.
In the evening, we toured the lovely town of Patan where we spent the night.
