On the last night in Kathmandu we went to a local restaurant with Sirish and his wife Ruby where they introduced us to some more typical Nepalese delicacies.

At Doha airport we were taken by air-conditioned mini-bus to the five-star Ramada Hotel where we could rest and freshen up. Hotel staff invited us to a most delicious buffet lunch.

Our Nepalese experience was an unforgettable one. It is our dream to return one day.
