Lukla to Kathmandu

The weather is fine and there should be no problems in flying out of Lukla.  Our plane has just arrived and as the passengers are disembarking, with are hurried onto the runway ready to take our seats for the flight to Kathmandu.

We say 'goodbye' to the snowy mountains.........

 and fly along the fertile Kathmandu valley which is solidly terrassed in order to produce Nepalese's fresh food.

Kathmandu seems horribly polluted and noisy after being in the mountains, but it will be good to meet up with my travelling companion who flew back two days ago.
