MERA PEAK SKI EXPEDITION 2003


Back to the climb  |  To next update

15.03.2003   Preparations in Kathmandu

After an easy flight we have safely arrived in Kathmandu where Ngima was awaiting us. He brought us to the Summit Hotel where we met Willemijn Nieuwenhuys, Greg's cousin, and Cas de Stoppelaar. After a great dinner we were all ready for a good night sleep. On Saturday we re-packed all the gear and gathered all the climbing equipment, and tonight we will eat at Ngima's (our Sirdar) house. After that "Jazzmandu" will be waiting and tomorrow morning we have an early flight to Phaplu. The first update via satellite has worked so be prepared for more soon!
