Congratulations to MAD Travel Diaries for recognizing the Swayambunath Temple in Kathmandu, Nepal! It’s also known as the ” Monkey Temple ” because of the large number of (mean spirited) monkeys that have all but taken over this complex.

Namche Bazaar is the main town of the Sherpa people, in the Khumbu region of Nepal. It’s located at 3400 m (11,300′) above sea level, built on the steep slopes of the hill you see in this photo.
