Kathmandu
15 oktober 2017, Indië ⋅ 🌫 23 °C
8am departure for Late morning flight to Katmandu but with needing to drop off excess luggage, 3 hours at airport, delayed departure, extra 30 minutes circling in air before landing and getting visa and clearing customs despite only technically being a one and a half hour flight made it to the magnificent Yak and Yeti hotel 5km from airport for lunch at 4pm. We struggled to stay awake for the Buddhist monk's talk in an inspiring 100 year old room.Meer informatie
