Prayers at Manakamana
A mountain top temple in Nepal
We rode a cable car to the top of a mountain to find a Hindu temple that draws thousands of believers. Many arrive barefooted. The small town that has sprung up to serve their needs is full of shops selling garlands, offerings and even chickens and goats for sacrifices.
Other people’s beliefs are often mysterious to outsiders, maybe even to themselves. So maybe this is an appropriate postcard to share with Terri for Sunday Stills?

I’m very impressed that you mange to post while traveling, especially to an exotic destination like this!
Sarah Wilkie
I did some drafts before leaving with the blocks and formatting in place. I just need to upload and add one photo, and add a heading and a sentence or two! I couldn’t manage one of my regular posts 😉

I’m really enjoying these Nepal postcards. I can hardly wait for you to get back home and tell us more.
Sarah Wilkie

Can’t read that town name without thinking of The Muppets. How terribly irreverent of me…
Sarah Wilkie
Haha 😆 Visiting that town was an incredible experience, a real bombastic hit to all the senses. I’ll share it properly in a post when we get back.

thanks for the postcard from Nepal and for linking with Sunday Stills, Sarah. Pilgrimages to outposts far and wide is definitely a mystery!
Sarah Wilkie
You’re welcome Terri, I’m glad you like it 😊
Anne Sandler
I like your postcards. And, they get to us before you get back!
Sarah Wilkie
Thanks 😊 Yes, no need to rely on slow snail mail for these!

Great postcards. If they’re not too much of an imposition – keep ’em coming please!
Sarah Wilkie
Not an imposition at all, the only challenge is the erratic wifi in some places! I’ll try to ‘send’ a few more before we return home 😃
