On the flat Terai in Nepal

Weld #3

Weld #3. Always lots of onlookers

Beautiful Nepal, on the way to Bharatpur

Same place, different angle

All too typical of South Asian driving. This is a blind corner. I call this a "double", when I'm riding towards it. Note the margin of road available for, say, cyclists (driving is on the "left").

A typical bus food/drink stop

Downtown Kathmandu.

Plane for Everest flight

Everest. Hard to tell from this pic, but its the highest point, the dark pyramid. Lhotse is slightly lower, to the right, with the South Col in between.

Another view

Descent from Kathmandu through a terraced valley

The winding descent

Terraces in Nepal

From the bus, in Western Nepal

The Border crossing, Nepal/India, West side of Nepal.

Looks like you've lost some weight. Why didn't you get a picture of the rebels with their guns, maybe pose with your arm around one?

If I didn't lose weight on this trip, with the enforced dieting, throwing up, and 3500km+, there would be something wrong with the Universe. Yes, I tried for pics with the Maoists, but my camera-phone was out of battery. Damn!
