Flying out of Vancouver airport was a treat! The security line wait was 0 minutes. The kids loved the fish tank. We boarded at midnight for a 14.5 hour flight to Chengdu and we all slept for at least six hours before watching some movies and eating yummy food. After our transfer and circling Kathmandu airport for an hour, we finally arrived-31 hours after leaving home.
In Kathmandu we had one evening in Thamel before leaving at 6am for a 14 hour drive to the start of our trek.
Our first day on the trail began with a 5,000 foot descent to Jubing. Enjoy the video!
