Nice views into the terraced fields down in the valley below.
Most tourists arrive here in the afternoon, get up early to see the sun rise over the Himalayas, and depart.
A pity... this place offers some decent hiking. We stayed and hiked. Great views on the hike:
Kids going to school (which starts at 10:00 sharp in this country):
Interesting sign we saw on the hike:
We hiked to the top of a hill above a military training ground. There's a viewing tower there.
We climbed up, and could see Mt. Everest, though very far away. My 18x zoom could barely make it out, but it's the white triangular point in the center of this picture:
Lots of eagles in this area.
Steppe eagles (Aquila nipalensis)
Tomorrow, Bhaktapur and then back to Kathmandu.
Then the next day, back to Taiwan. I don't think I'll have the chance to post any more updates until I return to Taiwan.
