Nagarkot

Imaginging Mt. Everest
Originally uploaded by 202.

I went to Nagarkot yesterday with Christa. I met her one night on the Annapurna circuit trek. She was just starting here trek, the Annapurna Sanctuary trek (a.k.a. the ABC, Annapurna Base Camp). Funny thing, I met her again at the same Internet place in Kathmandu I met Katrin and Katja again.

Yesterday we went together to Nagarkot, a place famous for its view of the Langtang Himalayan range, where you can have a small peek at the Everest. And the familiar drill repeats, eating early, going to sleep early and waking up way too early. At least this time the view was just outside our window (Green Valley hotel, a cheap one, but with a great view).

The skies were not so clear and the mountains were not so close as on previous occasions. The Everest mountain was just a spot in our imagination. One more reason to come back.
To be continued, or how I took another "shortcut" to Bhaktapur...
