Sat, Oct 27th, Mt.Everest & Boudhanath temple



Up at 5 and off to the airport soon after. There were lots of people lined up for flight-seeing trips! It seemed like every puddle jumper plane in Kathmandu was loaded with tourists, heading out for a mountain flight.  Over the course of the hour-long flight we saw so much amazing terrain; Shishapangma, Cho Oyu, Lohtse, and Everest. They even opened up the cockpit door mid-flight and let the tourists go up one by one to peep out the front windows.

Back in Kathmandu, we caught a cab ride out to Boudhanath temple. There was more gawking at amazing old architecture and a lazy brunch. We then ventured back into the zoo of Thamel that afternoon to buy gifts for family and eat our last dinner in town.
