Monkey Hill







India is full of monkeys.  Monkeys are the sacred representation of the Hindu god Hanuman.  Due to their status as a sacred animal they are free to roam throughout cities and towns across India in relative safety.  We were lucky enough to see some of these carefree primates on the side of the road on the way to Pune last weekend.  The monkeys were quite fearless and were so close I could have touched them!  They gather at this roadside spot, called "Monkey Hill", in the mornings and the evening hoping to be offered food by curious tourists.
