This morning, back in Kathmandu for a few hours before heading home, we picked up our baggage under the watchful eyes of monkeys hanging out on bamboo scaffolding and then headed over to a nearby hotel for one last goodbye to our dear friends & partners in this journey, Udaya & Bhakti. They generously loaded us down with gifts (including Bhakti’s delish pickles – one jar for each of us!). Then, back to the airport for our departure from Nepal (for this time, at least).
