Departing Kathmandu Kathmandu - Sunday, May 28, 2000
Tomorrow night (May 29) at 18:00 hours we will set off across Nepal on a public bus. We will cross the Indian border at Bhairawa-Sonauli. As we enter the great sub-continent, population one billion, we will make our way to the city of Gorakhpur and board a 24-hour express train that will hurtle us across the country to Amritsar, the capital of the Sikh people. The train route is not totally known to us and perhaps not decided by even the top brass at Rail India. However, we believe it is going to drag us through the throbbing twin cities and national capitals of Old and New Delhi. Stay tuned for more fun and games in the stinking hot plateau of the Ganges River, and please do bring your Wellington boots and personal flotation device as we enter the Monsoon Zone! Thanks again, all the best for now.
