We've touched down in Kathmandu! The flight in was amazing thanks to Dad's prebooking of the best seats for a view of the Himalayas. Being snowcapped, they were hard to spot at first but you could definitely see Everest and the rest of the world's youngest and tallest mountain range, peaking just above the clouds. Even without the Himalayan view, flying into Kathmandu is something - seeing the beautiful hills and valleys slowly turn into a sprawling landscape of buildings next to buildings.
First impressions of Kathmandu? Dust, crazy traffic, souvenirs, temples. You bump into religion at every corner and traffic include cows roaming freely.
