Today we left the kids at home with Lilly and climbed a mountain - or that is at least how it felt. In reality we only climbed 780 meter, but it was very tough as most of the climb was on "stairs" that was cut out of the path and was only over 4,2 km making it almost 20 degree climb on average. On the top of the hill (or mountain - I am not sure what it takes for an elevation to one or the other) were was a small shrine to Padmasambhava (Guru Rinpoche in Tibetan) and a viewing tower offering the best view of the Kathmandu and on clear days of the Himalayas.
