         		 just can't resist... one more Himalayan picture for the website! can you find ivan in this one?: by ivan_miral, Views[2968]
         		 But Kathmandu has grown into a bustling metropolis -- decidedly modern -- yielding pictures of contrast everywhere you turn.: by ivan_miral, Views[594]
         		 Another string of Kathmandu's street shrines,: by ivan_miral, Views[550]
     
    On the streets of Kathmandu, there seems to be a religious shrine of one kind or another in every possible nook and cranny.: by ivan_miral, Views[544]
         		 A Tibetan woman, in a beautiful traditional apron, expressing her devotion to the Buddha at Bodhnath stupa.: by ivan_miral, Views[616]
         		 The famous -- and HUGE -- stupa at Bodhnath, just outside of Kathmandu.: by ivan_miral, Views[302]
         		 A shrine to the Hindu deity, Shiva -- also at the Pashupatina temple in Kathmandu.: by ivan_miral, Views[343]
         		 A shrine to the deity, Ganesh, near the Pashupati temple, Kathmandu.: by ivan_miral, Views[904]
     
    Stupas in the foreground, crematory ghats in the background at one of Hinduism's holiest temples in Nepal, Pashupati, on the outskirts of Kathmandu.: by ivan_miral, Views[550]
         		 Sad to see our weeks on the trail come to an end, we board the bus back to Pokhara.: by ivan_miral, Views[290]
         		 In addition to the human porters, we shared the trail with many a mule train -- and plenty of their remnants! These mules are passing through the village of Marpha.: by ivan_miral, Views[240]
         		 Unable to find a proper teahouse in the village of Khingar, this kind woman (same age as Miral!!) invited us to her home for tea.: by ivan_miral, Views[332]
         		 Descending after our picnic -- Ive, the three Nilgiri Mountains, and the open trail.: by ivan_miral, Views[805]
     
    DEFINITELY our favorite picnic spot on the entire trek -- lunch on a high ridge overlooking the town of Jharkot.: by ivan_miral, Views[824]
     
         		 We visited the gompa (temple) and monastery in Dzong -- also once in restricted part of restricted Upper Mustang. We were toured around and quickly befriended by young Lama Karma.: by ivan_miral, Views[264]
         		 Perhaps the sweetest town we visited -- and a bit off the main trekkers route -- Dzong.: by ivan_miral, Views[290]
         		 Having decided she was no fan of wading through rivers and even less of a fan of fording them, Mi opts for a pretty precarious bridge crossing.: by ivan_miral, Views[263]
     
    Stupas and the view from the Muktinath Temple complex.: by ivan_miral, Views[430]
         		 One of the most beautful elements of the Muktinath temple complex is a string of 108 water springs. 108 is a holy number to Buddhists.: by ivan_miral, Views[584]
         		 Muktinath! We made it!! It is a holy site to Buddhists and Hindus alike because its burning natural gas springs mix the four elements of existence -- earth, water, air, and fire. Here, a group of Nepali pilgrims (who hold a mix of Buddhist and Hindu beliefs) commemorate the accomplishment of their visit. : by ivan_miral, Views[472]
         		 As we get closer and closer to our final destination of Muktinath, the villages are more distinctly Tibetan in style. This is Jharkot. By the way,
     
     
    Looking into the myesterious land of Upper Mustang from Tiri. Upper Mustang is off-limits without special and expensive permits -- and Tiri used to be off-limits, too, but was recently opened up to general tourism. This is the most northern point in Mustang you can visit without the permit.: by ivan_miral, Views[528]
         		 The Head Lama at the monastery in Tiri -- he toured Ive around, including a viewing of his traditional medicine supplies. : by ivan_miral, Views[319]
         		 From the monastery in Tiri, one can look back down the Kali Gandaki Valley, with Tiri in the foreground and Kagbeni in the background.: by ivan_miral, Views[545]
         		 Street scene in the village of Tini.: by ivan_miral, Views[705]
         		 Sheep, near the village of Marpha, being herded through the almost dry, lunar-like river bed that is, in large part, the Kali Gandaki Valley.: by ivan_miral, Views[938]
     
    Ive turns prayer wheels in the town of Tukche -- we had time to kill while we waited for clothing from said river fording to dry! By this point, we have clearly crossed into the more Tibetan villages of Northern Nepal.: by ivan_miral, Views[569]
         		 What we didn't count on was that crossing to the east side of the river would require some river wading -- and later some serious river fording to get back. A bridge on our map was seasonal and not yet erected.: by ivan_miral, Views[582]
         		 One of those towns was sweet little Kokhetanti.: by ivan_miral, Views[497]
         		 Ive and the expanse, as we forego the standard trekkers route to take in some towns on the east side of the Kali Gandaki.: by ivan_miral, Views[542]
         		 And the sun rises to luminate Dhaulagiri I (26, 795 ft) to begin day six -- also taken from the roof of our lodge.: by ivan_miral, Views[614]
     
    Annapurna I (26, 545 ft), as viewed from our guest house in Lete, where we finished day five on the trail.: by ivan_miral, Views[522]
         		 Mi enjoying a pain au chocolat at Rupse Chahhare, which simply means
         		 Yes, that dot is Mi crossing a long suspension bridge on the last leg to a lodge in Tatopani to finish day three on the trail. And, yes, Mi still claims to be afraid of heights -- but her argument is getting less and less convincing.: by ivan_miral, Views[1463]
         		 Stunning waves of grains and mountains in the backdrop -- it was hard to know what beauty to take in first.: by ivan_miral, Views[613]
         		 Village scene in Chitre, Nepal: by ivan_miral, Views[1550]
