Long day in Kathmandu

Sunset in Kathmandu

My first day in Kathmandu started with the Everest flight and continued with a string of sightseeing that included an amazing Hindu funeral temple, several Buddhist temples throughout the city, a tour of a small town on the outskirts of Kathmandu and sunset at the Monkey Temple.

I took hundreds of pictures on this first day and started to fear that the 10GB of memory cards wouldn't be enough to get me through the remainder of the trip. Click on the picture of the sunset to go to my Flicker set from the day.

Everest and the Himalayas

So, after a hiatus from blogging and civilization in general, I'm back and ready to show off some crazy pictures that I took while on my wild sojourn through India, Nepal and Tibet.

On my first day in Nepal (which was shortened by a day because of yet another Jet Blue fiasco) we spent the morning on a Himalayan sightseeing flight that featured spectacular views of Annaperna and Everest. We flew on Yeti Airlines, which unlike Jet Blue took off in plenty of time even though its working with the air traffic control system of a third-world nation.

The flight was an amazing hour of scenic mountains, foothills and aerial views of Kathmandu. Check out my Flickr set from the morning to see all of the pictures:
