Hetauda







As we climb out of Kathmandu we drive past a number of chimneys for brickworks that we were unable to see on our arrival into the City at dusk a few days ago. It's not long before we start a day of truly spectacular views of the Himalayan range. Probably our best views of the whole trip! We stop for lunch at around 2pm and are unusually, but gratefully, issued with packed lunches and again the most impressive lunchtime view of the whole trip looking back across the terraced valley to snow-capped mountains in the very distance. In the evening we arrive at the Orchid Motel and Helen remarks upon it's mental institution like architectural qualities whilst Rick reminisces about Stephen Kings 'The Shining' starring Jack Nicholson.
