Flew over night from London Heathrow to Delhi, don't think I slept much on the flight but must have had a little sleep since the flight did not seem to drag. Having said that arrived in Delhi very tied, having lost 4 1/2 hrs with the time difference. I can't remember which terminal I flew into at Delhi in 2007, but the one today, terminal 3, is worlds apart from that one. Terminal 3 is very clean and very modern. Flew from Delhi to Kathmandu in the afternoon and then spent a long time in line waiting to get a VISA.
Having cleared all the formalities on entering Nepal I found my bag and head out into the madness that is Kathmandu. At least Explore Tour leaders are easy to spot with their red lettering on a white background. While waiting for the remaining member of the group it started to rain, I can't remember any rain at all the last time I was here. It turns out to be only a short shower and once on the bus we are all welcomed to Nepal with a scarf.
At the group meeting we are given information for the flight tomorrow, it's an early start in the morning, will have to get up at 4:30, breakfast at 5:00 so we can get to the airport for 6:00.
The group is quite large with 14 members, one of the biggest I have been with.
With such an early start in the morning I had an evening meal at the hotel and went to bed early
