Yesterday and today were big festival days today for the Hindu people and there were many celebrations along with animal sacrifices street side.
Both days I rented a mountain bike and road out if the city and into the surrounding valleys. I was able to ride for about 6 hours yesterday and 7 today. Lots of hard work but extremely rewarding with the amazing views and the ability to meet many friendly Nepali people.
The kindness and good nature of the Nepali is almost overwhelming. Truly remarkable culture of many different religions, casts, and nationalities blended harmoniously together.
A cool picture of some of the farm fields we rode through.
A picture of a giant swing made from 4 huge bamboo poles tied together and a really tall swing in the middle. Even the adults will go in them. The swings are built throughout Kathmandu by the hundreds and are only up for a couple of days for the festival and then are taken down until next year. Pretty cool.
Some random misc pics from the last two days.....
