Finally made it to Kathmandu

Once the strike was lifted, we were able to get transport to Kathmandu from the border of Nepal/India. An 8 hour bus journey, with incredible scenes of Nepal - through the farmlands of the southern Terai and the windy roads through the mountains, following the river to Kathmandu. Some of those bends were a bit hairy though...

And there is no limit to how many people can fit on a Nepali local bus...And we finally made it to KATHMANDU, despite volcano ash, food poisoning and a national political strike - phew!
