As looking from helicopter 300m up and east of our house! And even the top

of Ganesh Himal behind Changu Narayani is visible.

Proud pappa!

WildFiber family outing.

Mark "WildFiber" and his kids prepare for an afternoon paddle-boat adventure. We run out of beer, though, and the villages on the other side of Phewa Lake were dry... 

Thapa family - Dasain Tikka 2063B.S.

  

Tikka: It´s Baburam´s turn.

The trusty Tamang with receding hairline receives my blessing, with Indu´s approval and our youngest grandson, Abishek, enjoying the Holy Day (and school holiday as well!)

Dasain 2063 B.S. Tikka

Aah, sweet Dasain time, with swings, kites in blue skies and tikka!Like last year, and years before, this is Hindu X-mas and Easter rolled into one week of puja, tikka giving/receiving. And overeating - it´s estimated that about 75% of meat consumed by Nepalis happens this bloody week.
One change though - this is the first time since Shahi dynasty came to Kathmandu Valley, some 250 years ago, when the top politicians, from PM down, didn´t receive tikka (blessing) from HM the King!
