Flying to Kathmandu




After seeing some of the sights in Hong Kong, we board the plane for the last leg of our trip, to Kathmandu Nepal arriving there at 10pm.







This is the flag of Nepal, and it is the only flag in the world that is not rectangular.













Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal, population 1.6Million people including the surrounding areas. All international flights to Nepal, Tibet and Bhutan go through Kathmandu, and despite this the airport is very small, with only a few daily flights.

Kathmandu is a busy, chaotic, polluted city yet mysterious and exciting all at the same time. We purchase our entry Visa for 90 days at the airport, then after collecting our bags we'll head out to our hotel.
