Trekking in Kathmandu valley: Photos 21 to 42

It has been a week since I left Nepal, but every night in my dream, I still see myself walking in the mountains in Nepal. Is it because I have a connection with this country, or trekking in Nepal was one of the most interesting adventures that I will never forget? I think both of them are correct. I apologize for not being a great trekker, if you expected my article and photos would be so great like others with wonderful snowy mountain views. There are many routes for trekkers in Nepal, but after considering my health, time and money (air ticket and visa already cost US$750), I only could afford trekking in Kathmandu valley. My route was as follows: Kathmandu to Sundarijal (1,350m) by car => trek to Chisapani => Nagarkot (2,175m).
Before the trip, I had to get a trekking permit for my route from TIMS (Trekkers Information Management System). I paid 250 rupees (US$3) to a travel agent in Kathmandu and they arranged it for me. The permit for trekking to the Everest summit is the most expensive, US$50,000. I think for the Everest Base Camp it must be cheaper as many people have been there.

Thanks for bringing back some memories and logging the trip I was supposed to take there. This was the city I got a bad case of dysentery in, so the family did the excursions while I was glued to my hotel bed. I did make the flight around Everest though!

Water tap
The guide stands by a water tap and he drinks this water. I don't dare to drink it as I'm afraid it's not safe for me.
Porter and guide
The porter carries my backpacks. Both boys love to pick some yellow fruit to eat on our trekking way.
Chisapani
The red building is BBC hotel where I stayed for a night without power. On the second day we will trek from this town to Nagarkot.
Going up the mountain
We go up mountains from altitude 1,350m to 2,175m through the rice terrace paddies and jungles.
