We enjoyed a refreshing cloudburst when we got off the plane. Leaving the airport, we dubbel checked our luggage this time! At the exit we found Karma holding our name tags. Our first impression upon arrival was that it was much greener here than the dusty and dry environment of Delhi.
After 40 minutes we arrived at the monastry. Gen Tsering-la gave us a very warm welcome and we noticed that the monks were shooting us some very curious glances. We also met Tashi who is the accountant of the monastry. All together we enjoyed the typical milk with tea and a very nice talk.
We were shown to our rooms and got some rest. Afterwards, the monastry offered us a welcome dinner in a local restaurant together with Tashi and Karma. For the first time we tasted the spicy colourful Nepalese food. After a refreshing cloudburst during our search for a cab we finaly ended our day, which started at 3 AM in Delhi.
