1 Down, 999 To Go

Last Saturday the other volunteers and I took a night away from the city and went to Nagarkot. It is stationed on top of the hills on the outskirts of the Kathmandu valley. It is great to get away from the craziness of the city for a night. It was very refreshing. We left Friday afternoon and stayed the night at The Elephanthead Hotel (which I highly recommend.) On Saturday we all woke up at 4:30 in the morning and watched the sunrise. This is actually in the book of 1000 Things To Do Before You Die. We sat on the roof and watched for about an hour. Truely amazing. We were above the clouds and could see the rolling hills all around us covered in a blanket of thick, lush greenery. Also we got some great views of the monstrous Himalayan peaks behind us. This was a truely wonderful and magical sight. One down, 999 to go. I'm off to a good start!!
