I'm looking forward to escaping the dust and noise of Kathmandu. The rain this morning has cooled the city down a little.
It's an hour's drive to the adjoining villages of Bungamati and Khokana in Kathmandu Valley. They're steeped in lush rice fields and flanked by high mountains. Walking down the muddy streets that look medieval, I feel transported back in time. The local Newar people are taking hand baths on the streets as there's no running water here. People, chickens, lambs, goats and dogs flood fill the streets and square creating a colourful spectacle.
