Kathmandu

A snapshot of my time in Nepal - mainly based in Kathmandu. Beginning with the three-day bus journey from Rekong Peo, Himachal Pradesh, India, to Shimla, then Chandigarh, to Haridwar, to Rupaidiha, walking across the border to Nepalgunj, then finally a bus to Kathmandu. 2 weeks at Kopan Monastery, a bit around the Kathmandu Valley and a little bit of mountain walking in Pokhara. 

Dhanyabaad to all of my dais, bainis and dizus in Nepal... what a special place.
