Let's take a pivate jet to Nepal!
Yesterday was a very boring day, that’s why I didn’t give you guys and update!
We decided that we saw enough in Myanmar and that it was time to leave!
At one of the parties we went during our trip, Amina made a new friend! And we are lucky because Julio has his own private jet! Thanks to Amina we had the luxury to travel with just the six of us and Julio of course!
We decided to fly to Nepal, Kathmandu. We were really excited to fly in a private jet so we were totally ready for it!
We had to leave very early because it was a long flight but we had everything we needed!
We all had the time to catch up some sleep so today we are going to hit Kathmandu!
Julio travels a lot between Mandalay and Kathmandu so he is our guide for today! (Amina is very happy with that!)
We first took a closer look at the most important Hindu temple Pashupatinath.
It is situated next to the Holy Bagmati River, were a lot of tourists and locals are looking at the Pashupatinath.
We were all a bit stunned when we saw what they were looking at.
There were some cremations from people and we could all see it. In Belgium, a funeral is something between family and friends but here in Kathmandu it is the most normal case that tourists pay to see a cremation.
We were able to follow the whole process but we all had mixed feelings while watching!
Julio told us that Kathmandu was very well known for all their temples and cultural activities so to end our day we went to Kathmandu Durbar Square.
The old city Centre is dated the 17th century.
It was really amazing a place with so much ancient buildings at once!
The one I preferred the most was the Royal Palace. The king doesn’t live here anymore because of an earthquake in 1934 and the building was damaged. But still in my opinion it is
A-MA-ZING.
In the early evening we could check in in our hotel, not exactly a hotel but a guesthouse “Kathmandu Guesthouse”. Julio recommended this guesthouse and it was even better than we expected.
When we walked in it was like paradise. Just what we needed after our long flight of yesterday!
We’re going to enjoy the guesthouse with a cocktail!
Cheers!
