Dogs are well liked here and when I say that, I include Sikkim India, even stray ones seem to live relatively harmoniously with humans here. They adopt you when you walk and temporarily you become part of the pack. I would never attempt to touch one, they are not tame. I suspect they might try … Continue reading Nepal 61, Animals and Humans

Nepal 47, Clare about Kathmandhu
Before I carry on, I became aware of the plane crash here in Nepal rather late in the day today. I just want to acknowledge it and to say I/we are safe.

Nepal 46, Waiting for Clare, Baby Bird

Nepal 10, Dad’s Last Day
We returned to Kathmandu to have a final day birdwatching on Phulchowki Hill, just outside the city which happens to be twice the height of Ben Nevis! However because its latitude is somwhat further south the tree line is much much higher. It was cold in the shade but warm in the sun. The views … Continue reading Nepal 10, Dad’s Last Day
