Kathmandu

What a busy day we have had, we went from one side of Kathmandu to the other. The smog was very bad today which is a shame as we went to the tower at Dharahara, which is like a lighthouse structure of 213 steps to the top. At 61.88 meters high the viability should of been great but due to the smog it was not great. After some coffee we jumped into a taxi and headed for Boudhanath and the huge stupa, which is the largest in Asia. It's a place of worship for the Tibetans and only 2 days ago a monk set himself on fire in protest to the treatment they receive from the Chinese. After yet another coffee we then walked to the Bagmati River in Pashupatinath where cremations are held. The bodies are laid out beside the river and then cremated on plinths but today was wedding day as everywhere you looked couples were getting married. Found 3 little puppies living in a box covered in straw which someone must of made for them, fed them cereal bars but they didn't like them. Jumped into a taxi and headed back to town to do some last minute shopping in the bazaar and back to guest house for a well earned beer. 

All packed and kit left for our guide and porter, so off for a leaving meal and maybe the odd beer.

See you all state side x
