Dhawalagiri, Nepal
The first day in the Himalayas and I have just had the bus ride from hell - 8 hours on a local bus - stopping every 5 mins to try and pick up passengers from here, there, and everywhere.
The trafic was choatic, the driving was erratic and the road was windy and pot-holed. But even so the heat was so stiffling that I was actually willing the wanna rally driver to go faster to actually get some breeze.
What an introduction to travelling backpacker style!!!
