Trekking in Kathmandu valley: Photos 42 to 60

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!

On the trekking route
The guide and porter are walking up mountain. You can see dry rice terrace paddies.
A house on the trekking route
We walked for 6 hours and saw only this village. It's a half way and already 3pm so we decided to rent a truck from here.
Sunriver over Himalayan range
In Nagarkot, we woke up at 5:30am and walked 30 minutes to the view point. Unfortunately, because of clouds, the Himalayan range under the sun was invisible.

The porter carries my backpacks and goes up stairs. I have two small backpacks on this trip.
Nagarkot (altitude 2,175m)
This shot was taken at 6:30am when I was walking to the view point for seeing sunrise over the Himalayan range.
Trekking permit
The other side of this permit is personal details, however they wrote my passport expiry date as my birth date.
