Because my sister was living in Kathmandu for 6 months and I wanted to share her experience, I decided to fly to Nepal in the summer of 2010. The idea was to stay in Kathmandu for a few days, visit the Himalaya and than travel to New Delhi (India) by land. My sister would come home together with me and Nieneke, a cousin who liked to join us on our way. With the three of us we saw extreme poverty, fantastic buildings, the most beautiful culture and very impressive landscapes.
