The first part of our seven hour road journey took us along the spectacular river gorge that we had passed along on our way to Chitwan from Pokhara a couple of days previously. At Mugling our path took us towards Kathmandu along the Prithvi highway. Sadly, a fatal accident delayed us for nearly an hour. We finally arrived in Kathmandu at 2pm. We all met up again in the Thamel area to compare notes and share a rather expensive Thai meal.
An early
morning Agni Airlines flight on Sunday took us alongside the Himalayas. We had magnificent views of
Everest and many of the other higher peaks. The mountains in the early morning
light above the clouds were a spectacular sight. We had a good view of the
south face of Everest and Lhotse. There was even a distant view to the east of
Kachenjanga. The pilot invited us each to the cockpit for better views. This is a Youtube video of another flight.
