We arrived in Kathmandu after a 3h30min flight. The airport reminded us of the Horn Island Airport, except there was a luggage belt instead of a trailer. It certainly was very small, old, and quite primitive, especially considering it is a major transit centre for trekking tourists.
The scenery during the ride to our hotel gave us insight into the chaotic, narrow streets, and how Nepal is very much still a developing country. We spent our first afternoon exploring locally around our hotel and enjoyed some delicious Indian cuisine for dinner.
Our second day was spent relaxing, after a lie in, we ventured out for breakfast and to get some laundry done. By luck later in the day we stumbled into the Rooftop Cafe and sampled their “Momos” - a traditional Nepalese snack similar to Chinese dumplings, which are apparently the best in Kathmandu! They were sensational!! We then discovered by the wonderful facebook that some friends of Brii’s were also in Kathmandu and staying not too far away. Needless to say, we caught up for a beer which turned into dinner in a fabulous little Nepalese restaurant (Thamel House). During dinner we also enjoyed some traditional Nepalese dancing.
