Travel to Nepal went surprisingly smooth and, after about 22 hr of airtime I finally arrived in Kathmandu. Immigration and customs was no problem, and my luggage also arrived here with me! On the way to the hotel I got some first impressions from Nepal and the capital city of Kathmandu, a very interesting place indeed, maybe not for everyone though. We’ll be staying at the Hotel Tibet, a very nice place, considering everything else around here… Tonight we will have our welcome dinner, get to meet the whole team and our guides. The rest of the day and tomorrow we’ll be staying in Kathmandu, resting and re-packing for the trek to base camp. If everything goes well, we will be flying out to Lukla on Thursday. From there, we will then start our slow, and careful approach to Everest Base Camp.
Below, a snapshot of the airport in Doha, Qatar where I had a 3½ layover after a 16 hour flight from Houston.

A quick excursion into Kathmandu revealed that some of the local beverages are quite promising...
