I was in Nepal last week for an important meeting that I had to attend with some important Government officials. I love going to Katmandu & I like the people, the pace etc. It is slow paced, peaceful (to an outsider) and despite numerous problems they are facing, they don't complain as most other people in other countries are wont to do. (There are numerous power cuts, long queues for Petrol etc.). I did not hear anyone complain against the government or make any other adverse kind of remarks.
Notwithstanding the beauty of its surroundings, I saw these 2 aircrafts - of all the places, in the airport. Imagine the effect it has on ones confidence when you see these kind of aircrafts just off the runway. Though this did not bother me too much, a couple of passengers near me got a bit worked up :)
Something that does not do wonders for the Tourism Industry there :)
All said & done, it was an effective trip & as usual I enjoyed it. Allen - my colleague in Nepal, took us (we had 3 friends from Intel there as well) to a great place for dinner. We experienced some of the songs & dances of Nepal there.
Weather was great - I believe it was around 10-12 degrees Celsius.
Here is another view of Kathmandu just as we took off from the airport.
