Fall in Nepal

Lately in Nepal it has been so beautiful, with sweeping views of the Himalayas clearly seen from smoggy, polluted Kathmandu.

We escaped the chaos of Kathmandu for a weekend and visit Nagarkot which is atop one of the mountains that divides Kathmandu from the Himalayas. The hotel we stayed at had views on one side of the sun setting over Kathmandu, and then on the other side had the remaining rays of the sun light up the snowy peaks.

And then there was this giant swing that they erect during the Dashain festival. It was amazing swinging on it...it felt like you were being flung into the mountains. It was a very, how do I say, reflective moment I guess - just swinging and looking at the amazing creation!We walked up to a tower (all up hill! very tiring) to get the best view of the mountains and luckily they cleared up for us. Gave us an idea of just how BIG they really are!
