Probably the best part of Nepal (though we've only been to Kathmandu) so far. Durbar Square in Kathmandu was nice, the one in Patan was also pretty, but the monkey temple (they seem to have these everywhere - though there were far fewer monkeys at this one and quadruple the people) was by far the highlight. We took a cab there for 150 rupees and it dropped us off half way up a hill just outside of Thamel. From there we walked up thousands of steps underneath millions of colorful prayer flags to the to of the little mountain. At the top was this massive stupa where people walked around (counter clockwise) spinning the prayer wheels and saying prayers. The view of the city from the top was amazing, there were even a few monkeys.
