Dharapani_to_Kathmandu 13 November 2019

Vehicles can make it to Dharapani Greg is not in a good position, but Bri is good as we run through the coffee routine for the last time The local color scheme Outside, ready to go One more departure selfie
Last look up the valley we descended Neighboring accommodations, some of which looked quite a bit nicer than ours Then, we are in the Landcruiser which has been sent to pick us up and take us back to Kathmandu It is a jeep road no doubt In places very harrowing
... but always a bit slow We enter much more settled landscapes ... with more serious agriculture .... where the harvest of upland rice proceeds Rice drying
Rice yet to be harvested IMG 4314 In Dumre we say good-bye to our porters, from which they will proceed to get some rest and another set of clients We break for lunch at a place recommended by the driver Hotel Helen
Where we had an excellent dal bhat with curried chicken On the road back to Kathmandu a cable car up to a temple A lot of the trip between Dumre and Kathmandu looked like this The driver was excellent however so we weren't constantly anxious IMG 2685
