Off the beaten path in Kathmandu

This was a delightful tour. Our guide Ananta was very informative and arrived early to pick us up. We were able to experience a Hindu service at the Krishna temple. I think we might see more beautiful temples elsewhere but this was off the regular tourist path and we enjoyed that.
