On the road from Kathmandu

There is a good reason the roads of Nepal are described as some of the most dangerous in the world.


The reality is that many of the roads cling to the sides of mountains and when there is heavy rainfall, such as on Monday, there are large landslides.

Distances here are always in kilometers, because time is irrelevant.
We spent ten hours traveling the  180 km from Kathmandu to our hotel.


Along the way there were many landslides and accidents of all kinds.
Safely in our Royal Park Hotel we refreshed and were briefed for our jungle encounter.
