Thanks my friend!
Interesting and informative descriptions of travel and hiking destinations locally and internationally.
Jakhu Temple in Shimla, India sounds intriguing, what with the story of Hanaman, Monkey God and of course, the mischievous monkeys themselves.
Look forward to more of this type of info.
