KATHMANDU - NEPAL

After being in the countryside of Nepal I was not looking forward to going back to dusty, loud Kathmandu. Went back to the same place as last time in Thamel. It took a day to find my feet again !!!!!! The second night a big group of about 20 of us went out for food, a few beers and see some live bands.


The main highlight was walking to the top of Shivapuri with a student from Australia. It was of course done the hard way as we quickly got lost off the footpath and just guessed the way to the top (up). We were followed by 3 army people at a distance but it became obvious that they were just keeping an eye on us.


Had a look round the top and within minutes found the correct footpath down. My knees were aching for days after.........


This was taken near the bottom just heading back into the city.











Last thing on my "to do" list for Kathmandu was the monkey temple west of the city. The views of the city from the top were poor because of the smog.

The final day after packing was spend reading my new guide book to Egypt which I was going to after a stop over in Dubai.
