WE DID IT!
The Tantric Tuktuks are in Kathmandu :o)
Stunningly pretty drive up the mountain road to get here, marvellous views of the Himalaya, what a fantastic way to end.
Now in the swanky Hotel Shanker enjoying G&T by pool. Hooray for civilisation :o)

In Dharan Bazar, NEPAL :o)
Nepal is a breath of fresh air after stinky India.
And, better still, we're not in jail. We hope Legends of the Phaal get themselves sorted, poor buggers.
