A Quick Trip to Nepal


Back in June I took a week's trip to Nepal with my boss, Joe. (That's not him in the picture with me.) He usually covers the work in Nepal, but he was going to be in the States on vacation for five weeks over the summer. So, I needed to get caught up on everything that he was working on.

Only one airline flies directly from Dhaka to Kathmandu -- Biman Bangladesh. The national airline of Bangladesh, Biman enjoys neither a stellar safety record nor a stalwart reputation for punctuality or customer service. After only a five-hour delay (for a one-hour flight), we made it safely to Kathmandu.

Thanks to Biman's erratic schedule, Joe and I had to fly a day early to Nepal -- meaning we had a day to see some sights before we started a week of long days (and nights) in the office. It was a quick day trip around the temples, but enough to get me excited for another trip soon....
