I've been here and it's a wonderful pilgrimage place, of many, in Kathmandu. Kirtu, is this your flickr page or do you know the person? Because I believe the statue that is labeled "Monkey King" is actually a statue of Acala!

Hi Adamantine! It's not my page and I don't know the person. I saw Lama Zopa reference the temple and I looked it up. Wonderlane actually have several Flickr sets, most Buddhist. You can email him/her here.

Dear Kirt,

I enjoyed watching your video clips very much....long time ago, I flew with Thai Inter Airways to Katmandu may be 4-5 times..just stayed at the airport during transit...but we, crews/passengers loved to watch through the plane window during the airplane approaching Katmandu Airport...those mountains looked so beautiful...oh we had so many hippie-passengers indeed those days!!
