Kathmandu 1 night, fly to Pohkora

We had a 5 hour flight from Singapore to Kathmandu. We got our 30 day visas, bags all arrived and our taxi was waiting. All smooth thus far. In the morning we enjoyed breakfast on the upper deck of our Homestay. We walked to exchange our $ to rupees. We headed for the airport and that is where the chaos started. Flights were delayed because so many people are having to fly due to local flooding and landslides which closed the roads leaving Kathmandu. We stood for 2 hours and we moved to the ticket counter and they gave us an earlier flight, closer to our original time, however we were delayed 6 hours total. All flights were delayed due to the Prime Minister of Nepal who returned from the UN meetings. Our trek guides are trying to get through on the roads so we are waiting to hear if they can get through. The flight itself to Pohkora was 30 minutes. Our group members and Hotel owner came to pick us up. The drive to the Lotus Inn was interesting as roads are quite rough and two way traffic loosely structured to say the least and we had no seatbelts😬 our group members greeted us. We were so happy they made it safely.The hotel is nice. We got organized then walked for a meal of Chicken Pad Thai and Chicken & Vegetable Korma. It was so delicious 😋. We walked back to the hotel and on the way we stopped to purchase trekking poles and our SIM cards. Ready for our trek starting tomorrow.Read more
