After returning to Kathmandu, I just had to take an Everest Mountain Flight. I won't ever see that on foot (at least not until I receive bionic knees), so this was the next best thing. I will just post a bunch of mountain photos here and make separate entries for the shots of the big mack daddy, Mount Everest.
Here is an interesting fishing methodology. You get two long metal poles and wire them up to the car battery strapped to your back in a wicker basket. You have to make sure to stand on dry land but a wet friend can help you position the poles correctly. You have a few friends behind you with nets ready to catch the windfall, because you're fishing by electrocution.
This is a photo of a grass monkey that Bhim made during a rest break along the trail. All along the way, Bhim would pick a few seeds, leaves, stems, or berries for me to smell, taste, or crush to realize, city idiot that I am, what coffee, pepper, licorice, and vegetable dyes look like before I see them in stores.
