• Our two-night visit at Kathmandu was a short one, but well worth it !
• Royal Mountain Travel ITS Driver and Guide picked us up around 7 a.m. and drove to the border town of Kodari, where a very complicated process of paperwork was involved to get into China
• Friendship Highway is mostly a gravel/dirt winding road. (until you get to Tingri)
• We saw pieces of heavy tree trunks, barrels, and even boards filled with nails lying on the road to make it harder for the vehicles to maneuver.
