Nepal

Nepal
What do I say about Nepal. It was an unexpected gift from above. It is so beautiful. It is still very poor and has more problems with power than Bangladesh having over sold hydro to India.... although our hotel had a VERY good generator so we were unaffected. I have more pics this time because... well you know me and my camera!

It was much less humid than Bangladesh which was a refreshing change. It was also nice to be a tourist! Steve was unwell so we didn't see as much as we might have but it was extra an that we never expected, while in Banlgadesh. It was nice to see hills again.. anything under 2000 metres in Nepal... and some mountains as well.

We saw the mandatory temples.


Stephen was given a greeting and offered a photo but these tourist savy people got money out of us for this. I bought some western clothes, jewelery and some nice scarves.


The Himalaya are just breathtakingly beautiful. We didn't see Everest BUT it was the best weather of our trip. I literally cried at their beauty!


Flat tires happen anywhere and Steve was ready with his torch!

A drive to Daman enabled us to see more stunning scenery.

The houses had a special appeal too.

Filling the car with fuel was interesting

It was market pick day/time and it was interesting watching radishes being collected for market.

A boy hopped on one side a large scales. The large bag of radishes then went on next to him as he hoped over to the other side. Weights were added a the total weight or radishes recorded.

The mountain water was freely available and so... good. Woman carry a heavy load... as do many old men but the children skip for joy.
