Just over a week ago I touched down in Kathmandu as the first stop of a few weeks adventuring in the area. Kathmandu is many things but most of all it is an assault on the senses! Everything seems to have hit the city with a bang, leaving a wake of pollution on the streets, in the rivers and choking up the air. In what I would soon learn is Nepalese style, there are beautiful dashes of colour and old world beauty mixed in throughout the city and all held together with a good dose of Nepalese friendliness and hospitality.
My first glimpse of the Himalayas after an afternoon rain storm cleared the smog for a few hours. This view and the one below from my hotel window.
The minibuses here are more like battle rams, fitting in as many as we do back home but navigating congested streets at a speed that would blow your mind.
