Bandipur, a beautiful village just off the main road

Back of the Bandipur Old Inn

Typical staircase loading up and down between village roads

Hillside

Crazy switchbacks all the way down from Bandipur

What'cha looking at, buddy?

Looking South

School

Exam schedule

Schoolyard

They asked for a picture!

Classroom (different school from before)

Yes, the Annapurna mountains can be seen from here!

Looking North: a spectacular view of the valley, closeby mountains, and faraway ones

Our hotel room

I wanted to demonstrate how crazy the drive down the mountain was but this pickup truck driver drove must more conservatively than the one on the way up from the night before.
Pickup truck: 25 people
  • 12 adults and 1 child in the box
  • 5 adults and 1 child hanging off the rear gate
  • 2 adults and 1 baby plus the driver in the cab
  • 2 adults on the roof
