November 4, 2018 we visited the Monkey Temple in Jaipur, India. It was an interesting place with many macaques living in the hillside area surrounding the temple. I saw a group of boys playing cricket, and naturally I had to watch for a few minutes. Apparently the number one sport here is cricket, two is field hockey and three, polo. We had a guide and he made a special sound to call the monkeys, and we held out food (peanuts) in our open hands for them to eat. It was definitely monkey heaven and with a sure supply of food why would they go anywhere else? I really think that all animal lovers would certainly want to meet these family friendly creatures. Think Jungle Book and it will all be ok. -Mona
I liked going to the Monkey Temple it was fun to feed the monkeys and have them climb on your shoulders, but then I got sort of scared they would pound on my head. So, I only wanted a few to go on me. Our guide told us that if we fed and put the monkeys on our shoulders we would get good karma. This trip has brought a lot of karma to me, karma is great! -Angelina
It looks like you two had a lot of fun at the Monkey Temple. I wish I coulda been there too! When we lived on Winifred Drive 2 families had monkeys as pets. I was crazy about them. Have fun at your next stop! I sure enjoy viewing your blog each morning. Love Always, Chrissy
