In my 7th grade World History class I discovered Nepal and the Himalaya range. I remember being amazed by the images of snowy mountains and the Sherpa people. I distinctly recall thinking, “I wish I could go there, but it’s so far away.” I knew it would never happen. Times have changed.

Kathmandu is merely a four-hour flight from Abu Dhabi! (Actually, we flew out of Sharjah… something I won’t likely repeat.)

The morning of our first day we set out to follow a Lonely Planet walking tour. Here are a few photos of our first impressions of Nepal:
