This was a great time! The sunrise at Sarangkot was rained out, so no view of the mountains. But our guide was still lovely in explaining so much about the history of the place and the temple. We participated in many activities throughout the day, including ones that were not originally planned. For instance, I asked about Buddhism so he brought us to a Buddhist monastery. Later I told him we wanted to see a suspension bridge and he immediately turned the car around to bring us to the nearest one. It was special to learn the proper way to enter and honor a Hindu temple, even be given a tika by a priest. Having an AC vehicle was a BLESSING after a few weeks in Pokhara. And it was great having a personal, knowledgable guide to share information specifically according to our curiosities.
