Gorkha

We saw an elephant on the way out of Kathmandu.

One of many breathtaking views on the way.

Lunch at a restaurant about halfway between Kathmandu and Gorkha.

Bettlenuts and fennel, to clean your teeth after a meal. The fennel is great, but the nuts mostly remind me of pebbles. I chewed/sucked on mine for at least 35 minutes, and it still wasn't soft enough to swallow.

A panoramic view from our hotel in Gorkha.

A poster depicting the ethnic diversity across Nepal, found in one of our school visits.

Me and the Nepali flag outside one of the possible school placements.

The view on the way up to the old palace in Gorkha.

The old palace.

Rice fields coming down the other side of the "hill."

Himalayas, no big deal.

Kids waving to us as we visited homestays in Gorkha.

I could get used to this view.

Gorka bazaar, kind of like the city center.
