The Trek Part one - Sundarijal to Chisopani
Tired in Chisopani. Just finished hiking up to 2500 metres. This was the leg of the journey with all the STAIRS (my personal vision of hell...)
The kids in Chisopani entertaining us with music - MUCH better than TV...
Our littlest fan... :)
The kids were happy to get little origami toys!
8am - ready to hike the 20 Km to Nagarkot...
A little difficult in places...
Taking a break: Ram, Mr. Nabaraj, and Himal
Taking a break - the rest of the gang

The final day - the family and team 2 (and our half-house!)

What our home will eventually look like (we built for one week, and it took about 2 to complete)
The view from our resort! Sanjel lives just on top of the hill there...
The mighty Himalaya (Himal Ganesh) - dunno if you can see them, but we could!!! (sunglasses helped...)
everything is done the old ways out here...
