November 13, 2013 – Enjoying Our Last Day in Kathmandu
After an incredible three and a half weeks in the Khumbu the Sellers took one more rest day in Kathmandu before they begin the next exciting part of their adventure, Mustang. They spent most of their day in Bhaktpur, a region of eastern Kathmandu, where they stopped at famous monasteries, posed with the many statues along streets and of course shopped! The Sellers have been to many fascinating places, made lasting memories and lifelong friendships with the wonderful people of the Khumbu region. But their journey does not end here! Tomorrow they will fly to Pokhara where they will begin their week long adventure in the ancient region of Mustang. Be sure to follow these exciting dispatches as they embark on an adventure of a lifetime!
