Darjeeling to Nepal

So, I did not mentioned, that on the drive from Darjeeling to Nepal, we had another flat tire somewhere in the mountains. So, waiting and had another rest. Was OK.

Kakarbhitta

The place in Kakarbhitta was nice, although it was quite near to the border. I walked a little bit outside of the small village and found nice green places. I stayed there at Hotel Mechi and the bill says, “yes, of course, I am from Australia!”.

Airport Kakarbhitta

I took the plane from Kakarbhitta to Kathmandu which took me 40 Minutes instead of 18-19 hrs.  by bus. I planned to go by bus, but there is not time for this anymore unfortunally… The flight was OK, there have been 24 passagiers in the small machine from YETI-Airlines (I like the name…). I had no chance seeing the himalaya mountainas through the clouds.

Next time, I am sure :)

Chamba

Friday, May 9th, 2008

I am now in Chamba and after having a breakfast (some bread, coffee) I visited some old temples and the city. Interesting village, as it is quite clean compared to the rest i have seen until now. The weather is OK, as it is also raining a little bit. Temperature is OK here in the mountains, can’t wait the heat in Varanasi, Lucknow, Agra… :)

It’s a funny thing, as people are always want to get photographed…
