April 22, 2014 – The Team Explores Kathmandu
Today we received a message in the Berg Adventures office from Ang Temba in Nepal. The whole team was up early in the morning to begin their full day of sightseeing along the iconic streets of Kathmandu. They visited the Swayambhu temple, Pashupati and Boudhanath with their Berg Adventures city tour guide Ajun.
Tomorrow the team will depart on an early morning flight to Lukla, the gateway to their adventure. Stay tuned for more photos and stories!
The team began their day with a visit to Swayambhu temple in Kathmandu.
