Wandering the hills

We walked from Nagarkot to Dhulikhel catching the local bus the last few km. The rd we were on was all Rocky and uneven, not even bike ride able then a bus comes  bouncing along swaying from side 2 side. The villages seem almost back in medieval times with chooks and goats in and out of the houses with a few 21st century things thrown in. You have 2 look past the dirt and rubbish and squalor... We met a really nice 19 yr old young man on our way 2 namo-budda a monastry on top of a hill. He took us all around inside where hundreds of monks were chanting along with the horns and cymbals and drums. Very impressive place. He explained lots about Buddhism took us through a cremation sight on the way. there was lots of human hair around, the hair is shaved off first! He hung out with us 4 the whole day. He spoke English well and is soon 2 sit a scholarship exam, if he gets it he will b the first person in his village 2 go 2 university.  He got us on the right bus back to Kathmandu. Took 2 hrs 2 go 32 km an experience on its own. The hotels have electricity sometimes and hot water a bit random. Photos show buying a drink on the way, monastery, chooks farm, local bus and another budda.
