The long awaited ‘life changing, soul searching trip of a life time’ begins. We finally
arrived in Kathmandu after an 8 hr
stopover sitting on the pavement outside Mumbai airport in the 30 degree heat, sweating away in our jumpers in a feeble attempt to avoid the apparently malaria
ridden mosquitos! Not the most relaxing way to spend the early hours of the
morning, but apparently the only option when you have more than 3 hours to wait!
In desperate need of a shower and some sleep we checked into our very cheap and
cheerful hostel - great to have an en
suite toilet and shower, not so great to have a window that looked straight
onto a wall offering nothing but the sound of howling cats on heat throughout
the night. Luckily our neighbour was very skilled with a bucket of water.

Kathmandu was crazily busy with beeping cars and motorbikes
everywhere and the general hustle and bustle you would expect from a big dirty
city really and although ok for a couple of days we were definitely very ready
to move on when the time came for us to meet our trekking group!
