Nepali Bus Drivers…

…are adrenaline junkies!  And the folks at Jhamtse Gatsal can’t be talked out of their generosity:  there wasn’t a helicopter the day we were to leave, so Dorjee, Teke, and Amdo drove us all the way to Tezpur (2 days!), where we could catch a bus the rest of the way to the border.  The drive was still beautiful, and there was definitely much more of a military presence in the area than when we came (4 months ago), due to some recent tensions with China.  We spent a night at the border of Nepal, in Kakarbhitta, then spent a whole day on another bus to Kathmandu.  So far, bus-riding in Nepal puts the craziness of driving in India to shame!  11 photos.
