Finally In Kathmandu!

Long and tiring wait in Doha but we finally boarded for Kathmandu - another overnight flight! Amazing views of the mountains from the plane coming in:


Finally on Nepali soil after 17 hours flying and 23 hours travelling:


Thankfully no problems with our visa or immigration, and our representative Aruna was at the airport to meet us. Very hectic getting out of the airport, thank goodness for Aruna! We rode with her husband through the crazy Kathmandu traffic and fifteen minutes later were at our hotel. Finally a bed and a shower! Great view from our room:



We won't be venturing far any time soon! Can't wait until Sunday when we we finally go to meet Rachana!
