Bombino World Tour

Nepal and Everest

After India I had a quick 4 day trip to Kathmandu, Nepal. While four days is not nearly enough time in Nepal since the thing to do there is a mountain trek, I was luckily enough to still see Everest in my time there. If I ever make it back to Nepal I would do a month long mountain trek in a heartbeat! Kathmandu is not the mountainous Nepal you envision but it is a really cool city none the less. It is filled with backpackers and I actually bumped into backpackers that I had met in Laos one month before! We happened to be staying in the same Guest House. On my first day in Nepal I woke up early to catch a flight on a small plane that takes you up to see Mount Everest and the surrounding mountains. I would have loved to see these mountains via trek but my short trip wouldn't allow it. I was a little worried in the first fifteen minutes of my flight because all we could see were clouds. We had been warned that due to bad weather some people take the hour flight and don't even get a glimps of the incredible mountains. Luckily, I was able to see Everest and I must say it was breathtaking. I made a friend on the Everest Flight and we made our way to Nagarkot- a mountain town- for a good hike and some fresh mountain air. We stopped in Bhaktapur on the way and by early afternoon we were in Nagarkot. We did a two hour hike to a place called View Point where we were able to climb a shaky tower and get some amazing views of the mountains at sunset. It was an awesome day- I was happy to breath the fresh mountain air and do a hike while in Nepal. I spent the remainder of my time in Kathmandu exploring the city and enjoying the last of authentic Asian food before I made my way to Europe. It took just over 24 hours to get to Greece but after a 12 hour layover in India and three flights I finally made it to my last leg of the trip!
