Monkeys Swim in Pool to Beat Kathmandu Heat

Kathmandu. The temperature of the federal capital Kathmandu Valley has been gradually increasing in recent days. 

The effect of the scorching heat that increased with the beginning of the month of Jestha is now being seen directly not only in humans but also in animals. Animals have also started adopting their own ways to avoid rising temperatures and heat. 

In this context, a different scene is now being seen in Swayambhu, a historical and tourist site. Monkeys there are found swimming daily in the pond constructed in the Swayambhu complex. 

With the objective of quenching thirst and cooling the body, monkeys are jumping into the pond water, diving, and swimming. As the heat increases, the monkeys of Swayambhu are cooling their bodies by swimming in the pond. 

This interesting scene of monkeys swimming in the pond to escape the heat has also attracted the attention of domestic and foreign tourists visiting the area.
