It was time for a new country and we took a short flight to Kathmandu Nepal. We stayed 8 nights at the Kathmandu Guest House ideally located right in the middle of Thamel. Thamel is the main tourist area with lots of great restaurants, bars and shops. Our room was centered around a garden area and my favorite buddha statue.
Daddy said I was too young to climb Mt Everest, the highest mountain in the world, so instead we took a 1 hour mountain flight to see it. It was awesome seeing the himalayans with snow and then the final peak we saw was Everest. What a sight!
My favorite thing about Nepal was Buddha's eyes. I got so excited when I would see them and daddy buy t-shirts for us with the eyes. My favorite place was Bodhnath, where there is the biggest stupa in the world and of course, the 4 pairs of buddha's eyes on the top. We would circle the stupa with the locals and I loved spinning the prayer wheels. We liked this place so much we came here on another day as well.
Another favorite place of mine was Durbar square. There
Mt Everest!!!
Didn't climb it, but it was the next best thingwas a big area with a lot of pigeons and cool buildings to climb. We also took daytrips to Patan and Bhaktapur. Bhaktapur was like a midieval town and I had a lot of fun with all the statues and temples.
There was even a wine festival at one of the restaurants in Kathmandu, which made daddy really happy. We ate lots of good food there and met some cool people including a very nice couple from Mexico.
We definitely could have spent more time in Nepal, but it was time to go back to India and see more of Rajasthan.
