This trip to Nepal was combined with a short stay in India. After we left Varanasi after a long journey by train and bus, we arrived in Lumbini, Nepal. After Lumbini we traveled on, via Kathmandu to Pokhara where we stayed for a few days. Finally we returned to Kathmandu where we visited the Bodnath Stupa and the associated monasteries.
