Touring Kathmandu… April 5

I had almost forgotten how crazy and chaotic driving in these Asian countries can be….as part of my Everest package. They threw in a city tour of Kathmandu with a private driver which I did today. Donny (the driver) came by in the morning and we were off to the first stop, Boudhanath Stupa, which as it sounds, is a bhudist temple and fairly close by….that is when you don’t factor in the traffic…the traffic in Kathmandu is nuts!! Everyone fighting for whatever inches they can get, motorcycles squeezing in any and wherever they can and roads with pot holes the size of Grand canyon makes for one heck of a combination….It amazes me that a city that is one tenth the size of Bangkok seems to have twice as much smog… Anyhow, back to Boudhanath Stupa, there was some sort festival going on but with donny’s broken English/Nepalese, that’s about all I could make out ( I just did the smile and nod thing as he explained everything)…all I know is that there were a lot of people throwin rice and rubbing a lot (the statues that is)….I did learn one thing though, always walk around the shrines clockwise… 30 minutes later we were off to Guari Ghat, which you may have guessed, is another temple….of the Hindu variety. Pictures Another 30 minutes there and then back in the car to the next stop….you guessed right again!!Another temple…don’t get me wrong, I respect peoples beliefs and I understand that these temples are very important to them, but temple after temple after temple gets a little old…so as Donny made our way to the next stop, I told him to just drop me off and I would make my own way back to the hotel…he seemed ok with that as he got the rest of the day off and I gave him a decent sized tip for his troubles…

View from the driver's seat...these guys drive about 3' from each other, lots of horns and no signals....scary!!
