Fabulous place and really interesting. If there is one bit of advice to give you it is to bring masks to wear when you are near the funeral pyres down by the river in Katmandu. Loads of ash and other bits flying around. Other than that just look and enjoy everything. Go visit everywhere you can.

with Green card applications. She had a hard time and didn’t how they could ever figure it out. She is familiar with most of the food already.
Plane fair looks better than I thought. 30 hours on the return trip.
