Day 23: Up in the Kathmandu Hills to Dil's Home
Foggy flight back to Kathmandu. We sat on the left side of the plane IN CASE Mt. Everest came into view, but no luck on this foggy day. Took another crazy taxi ride to our Sherpa guide, Dil's, house as he led the way on his Yamaha motorcycle. The road to his house is very steep, with sharp turns and incredible potholes but the driver handled everything like a champ. We reach the end of the road, hike another 1/4 mile up a sandy steep slope to Dil's lovely home where we were welcomed by three sweet daughters, Laxmi, Getta, and Durga, wife Sunita, grandmother Norma, and two adorable pugs. It's a lovely view as we are right next to the jungle. Have a dinner of the best Dhalbat EVER and the absolutely most delicious Masala tea I've ever had. We present a few gifts to the family and have a lovely visit...we are LEAVING the country tomorrow night so just have one more day in Nepal to explore the hills right out the back door.
