The journey commences

THE WEATHER IN KATHMANDU

THE JOURNEY - We're here after a long but uncomplicated journey from London to AbuDubai and then on to Kathmandu after a 10 hour wait. The preparation now begins with the repacking of bags ready for our 9 day trek into Manaslu base camp.

The busy roads of Kathmandu.

Our hosts in Nepal meet us at the airport.

The sorting out of clothing, equipment, food and medical supplies.

Everyone is in fine fettle and we are looking forward to getting out on the trail tomorrow morning. We are going to look at the oxygen system today and visit an orphanage to see if we can help them with a water filter.

Oxygen Training -better get tis right! 

VISIT TO A CHILDRENS ORPHANAGE
I was so humbled by these children and their main carer Syham. The spontaneous show of appreciation was so humbling - in fact; it floored me! Wonderful! We can sort the water filter for them and I hope more!
