We raced in our cab for a 20 mile ride through the Kathmandu Valley, because every ride is a race in a car without door handles, bumpers, and the things we are used to... We traveled through the dirty, noisy city life, into a bucolic farming community, and ended up at the Nargakot Hill Station, where we could see the tiniest peak in the distance - which is the biggest peak in the world, Mount Everest. It was there, even through the thick layer of pollution from Kathmandu.
