We touchded down at Tribhuvan Internation airport at around 4.00 pm. After completing the formalities, and passing through a number of screening, we got out of the terminus and was greeted by an young boy named Rhadheshyam. He was our guide cum tour manager. On our way to the Hotel de l' Annapurna, he gave explained our tour plan for the next 6 days. As there was not much left of the day, we were to begin our Kathmandu tour the next day and leave for Pokhra the day after.
After a quick shower, we set out to explore the nearby area and to find a phone booth. The road was lined by attractive handicraft shops displaying the best of Tibetan art. A Bhairav statue, with a fierce expression and a hundred arms, took my breath away. But for my life, I can't imagine having it in my drawing room, glaring down at my guests. After wandering in the streets for a while, we decided to have momo in one of the not-to-stylish road-side shop. It was the best momo I had ever tasted. If you visit Nepal, don't forget to sample this authentic Nepalese dish.
Dinner was a flashy affair with music, wine and great food. We were allowed to drink the wine we brought with us, as they realized this was a special occasion (which was very nice of them). Candle light, great food, good companion and gazal; what more do you need to end a perfect day?
