In the streets of Kathmandu. Temples, narrow streets, small shops, a butcher and people wishing us happy New Year (Nepali 2072).   

Flight back to Kathmandu – peak through the clouds at hilltops.

On the way down the encounters we have. Mule trains, rains, and old folks in need of medication…. (nurse Heidi helps).

 

 

 

The views are tremendous! Really the top of the world. 

Ghorepani, close to Poon Hill and the accommodation (cold!). 

Yes we need vertical pictures… this is what we had to run up. Note the porter’s shoes as he passes us!!

The start of our 4-day trek towards Poon Hill

 

Exam time in the Monastery.  This is the exam room….

 

A long walk into town – shopping and enjoying the local sites (like cows on the road not owned by anyone). Taxi home, and observing the (bold) monks playing the local Nepalese game (carins?)

A day of rafting…

  

 

An early morning Puja, followed by a walk and a lovely lunch at Lakeside.

  

 

  

The monastery in Pokhara. With a view from the balcony. Life if rough in the mountains!

  

The parents in the classroom. With enchanted monks learning.  

 

And school for the kids continues as normal,….

 

KATHMANDU.

The small little streets and he Kathmandu Airport.
