Lukla and start of the trek

Having taken the Nepalese equivilent to British Airways (Yeti Air) I arrived in Lukla (see left)

We then proceeded to walk to Benker which was a beatiful tranqil collection of houses overlooking the most magnificent mountains

Today I am in a small village at 12500ft called Namche Bazar....very hard to breathe...but gorgeous place!

Arrival in Kathmandu

KATHMANDU

30th October 2008

I arrived in Kathmandu and disaster struck.....my bags never showed! 2 days later and having missed my groups departure....they still wernt there....and then at the last possible minute they turned up! So I booked my flight for Sunday morning having spent a lovely shabbat at the local Chabad House and headed for the mountains. Here are my photos of Kathmandu.
