Hanging with the monkeys.

Since I was in the area (Gurgaon) I just had to see my old “friends” the langurs. It was almost exactly two years since my last visit. This time without my driver Pawan though. He had to give the cab driver directions over the phone so he was kind of involved <:

On the way we drove past the HUGE Hanuman who now has been painted all orange !
that morning I was just hanging with the monkeys
they have amazing tails…..they are so long so they are kind of all over the place <:
time for a dip, or at least a sip.
cool young one just hanging, or stepping on one of those long tails. Just look at those toes on the small one.
They are curious and playful and all over the place.
adorable…<:
Practising……
All of a sudden we saw two Indian mungos among the rocks…..I have to show even if the picture is not very good ( due to the fact that they where far away and I still don’t have any telezoom lens) It kind of looks like it have feathers don’t you think?

I’m sure happy we decided to visit even if the temperature in Delhi/Gurgaon was like 41 degrees celsius already in the morning. It’s such a cool place and amazing encounters.

Hope you are enjoying your weekend dear reader. See you soon.

Hugged by a langur….

Early this morning we paid a visit to one of our favourite places around here, the temple with all the langurs and today I asked my hubby to get some pictures of me with the langurs.

they are so gentle but you can feel their strength when they want something.it’s amazing feeling their fingers holding yours and looking into their eyes …..
