kathmandu and Pohkara Photos

We are leaving for a couple of treks in the morning -- probably combining the Annapurna circuit and Annapurna Base Camp.  That may be a little over a month living on the trail.  We are doing well and we met with our Porters this morning and we can communicate with them pretty well and they seem very nice.  So if there is any opportunity to send emails in one of the villages on the treks I will post where we are and how we are doing.

Following are mixed photos of Kathmandu and Pohkara and maybe some from the bus trip to Pohkara. A few more from Leh also just below.

Side of the transport trucks in Lahdak -- Se the lettering in the blue, There is so much in English everywhere!

The truck above was unloading wood and this cow was supervising.

Look at the loaded bike -- the speaker is on a car blaring ads for the local businesses - really irritating.  That is Kathmandu.
