Colombo, Sri Lanka(Bandaranaike International Airport)to Kathmandu, Nepal(Tribhuvan International Airport) to Lukla Domestic Airport.
Flying out on our national carrier SriLankan Airlines on a most convenient flight direct to Nepal, we reached the beautiful, vibrant and colorful city of Kathmandu, Nepal in just under 4 hours.

It had been a long time since I last traveled out of Kathmandu valley. My earlier trip was back in December 2019, when there was no trace of Covid, at least in our part of the world. My friend Roshan invited me for a trek to Namche (scheduled for March 2020), a place near the region of Mount Everest and the other Himalayas. I had never trekked for more than a day nor at an altitude of more than 3000 meters and this was supposed to be a grueling one-week trek, as compared to the earlier short hikes. I then prepared myself for the trek by exercising, cycling/walking for the next few weeks.

Like most of my trips, which always take place after ages of planning, this was also pending since two years. Some Indonesian and Chinese friends’ visit to Nepal made it possible for the trip to finally occur. There is a saying that it rains when unexpected things finally happen and so was the case with this trip, as it rained all of a sudden on the early morning of the trip. We had hired a van for 12 of us to drive to Pokhara.

It had been a long time since we went out on a family trip. So, one Saturday, we decided for a trip to Bhaleshwor Mahadev Temple in Chandragiri hill, which is a new tourist destination in the valley to pay worship to god Mahadev, as well as ride cable car.
Even though the weather was not good that day, especially when we were hoping to get a clear view of Kathmandu valley from the hilltop, we still decided to visit the place.
