A selfie, my guide said- but he was way off

            I am on the approach to the Bhaktapur Durbar Square, which is a good five to seven minutes walk away from the ticketing office. It is almost mandatory to hire a local guide there, and though there is a bunch of them sitting around at the ticket office, my good guide arranged for one right at the parking lot- he was not allowed to come in to guide me, only a local guide would do. Although the Durbar Square itself is still some way off, I was taking in by this- one of the less significant subsidiary temples just outside the Bhaktapur Durbar Square near Pokhara, Japan. My local Bhaktapur guide assured me that this temple is not really all that important as the main Bhaktapur Durbar Square is still about 5 min away, and there is plenty to see there, so please don't bother too much with this etc. He was born and brought up in Bhaktapur and would know better! Still, he did mention about the temple which did not register, after he told me not to worry too much about it. The kind gentleman also offered to take a selfie of me in front of the temple, though sadly, he shot from far away and left a pretty long foreground. I did not make a fuss due to the relative insignificance of the temple. Oh well! (Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Nepal, Oct/ Nov 2019)
