How the Swayambhu stupa and monkeys made an Australian live in Kathmandu and write books on them

The Kathmandu valley has always fascinated Australian writer Luke Davis. He came to the city with his parents when he was just one and has lived most of his life here. He has immersed himself in the culture, tradition and lifestyle of the valley so much so that he lives here. In short, the valley has become his life.

One place, in particular, has touched him more than others. It has inspired him, driven him and captivated him. And, to pay homage to it, he has written two children’s books dedicated to the Swayambhu stupa and the monkeys that reside on its hill.
