morning walk to Swayambhunath - morning walk with Santosh to Swayambhunath was so much fun. Morning is the best time to visit the temple. Santosh was ready to pick up on time. He walked me around the temple and explained in detail. even though my walk was slow, he patiently waited for me 😁unforgettable experience with Santosh. I think if your time is limited like me and want to know about Swayambhunath temple better join a walking tour like me. Anyway, Santosh also knows good photo spots and he took pictures of me too. I am very grateful to Santosh. I hope you are always happy, healthy and successful 🙏 greetings from Indonesia🇮🇩
