First day in Kathmandu, Nepal


We have now safely arrived in Kathmandu, Nepal!
The vibe here is totally different from that in Delhi and we LOVE IT!!! We were picked up from the airport by a representative from the charity we will be working with and she took us straight to our hotel in Kathmandu. There are many travellers here and the locals are all very warm, welcoming and smiley, so it all feels very safe :o)

We were told that the place where we will be staying with our host family is only about 15km from Kathmandu at the top of a hill overlooking the city. Also we will have to walk for about 40 mins to get to the nearest shop but the exercise will be good to burn off all the calories from the delicious Nepalese food (it is veggie heaven here!).

We have 2 days now to explore Kathmandu before our training with the charity starts. Tomorrow is Hari Krishna's birthday here, so there will be some good festivities around and we will make sure we visit some Krishna temples too.

First impressions are fantastic and we are looking forward to exploring the city even more over the next few days. We'll log in again in a few days for updates. Hope all is well in England.

Namaste!
