Namobuddha/Panauti 14 February 2009

Drive from Bhaktapur, climbng through passes where the terraces of mustard, corn, wheat and rice cling to the impossibly steep vallley sides. Pass 3, 4 and 5 story villas, each unique with balconies and roof terraces worthy of Esher.

Trekked from Dhulikel to Namobuddha with views across to the Himalaya, apparently floating in the distance.


Rather than walk on to Panauti, we get the bus.

Visit the Krishna Nmaya temple and Indeshwar Mahadev Temple, the oldest in Nepal. On returning to Bhaktapur Mark haggled over pottery windchimes while jennifer Susan retreated to the Guest House.
Romantic candlelit dinner for 17 as no power again..
