Friends, family & loved ones,

We wasted no time this morning and got moving early to embark on our city tour of Kathmandu. But first, a Team photo:

On our tour, we went from one end of the city to the other, stopping at the major World Heritage Sites of Swayambunath (also called Monkey Temple), Boudhanath (largest Buddhist stupa in Nepal) and Pashupatinath (the most sacred Hindu creamation site).

Several of us got blessed by some Hindu Wise Men along the way:

After lunch, we did a gear check and packed up our duffles for our flight to Lukla tomorrow. Got it all done in time for some last minute shopping and napping before dinner.

Fingers crossed for good weather for our early morning flight to Lukla.

Thanks for following!
