Ready for take-off ...

All on-board flight in Kathmandu ready for take off after very emotional 'goodbyes'.

Last evening of singing, dancing ... and tears!

Everyone had a lovely last evening with singing, dancing, tears and a reluctance for their adventure to end and having to leave Nepal. 

Now their bags are all packed and they're enjoying lunch at the famous Kilroy's before departure from Kathmandu this evening and their flight home.  

Kilroy's is a Thamel restaurant named after its Irish founder and chef. Expeditioners will be enjoying delicious dishes from Baltis to Irish Stew and yummy desserts such as bread-and-butter pudding sitting inside, or outside in the shady garden, complete with waterfall.
