Placement week = time for another holiday

In November there are placements at campus, where the first year students are getting placed with companies for their summer internship. During this time there were no classes so we took this as an opportunity to go travelling again. This time I went to Nepal with some of the other Danes and one of the Norwegians.
We started out fine by getting to the airport in good time before our flight would leave. But as we were going through immigrations a few of us ran into some problems. I do not want to get into the details, but it ended up with some of us being off loaded from the flight and then we had to go visit the FRRO in Calcutta. After some problems and a phone call to the Danish embassy and a few days of going back and forth to the FRRO we managed to get the paperwork fixed and got on a flight 3 days after the rest of our group.
This was a very emotional experience because we had looked forward to the trip for a long time, and just wated to go. But in the end we ended up getting to Nepal. :-)
Here are a few pictures from the drive from the airport to our hotel, where we meet up with the rest of our travel group.
From our hotel there were a good view of the mountains, see this.

One of the days we went to see the sunrice over the himalayas, so we got up at 4 something to drive and then walk the last bit to the view point. I was very happy to find out that the weather was good and there was no cludes. Because I miss the sunrice at Tiger Hill in Darjeeling because of bad weather.

This last picture was taken when we were o our way down from the hill after the sunset, it is one of my favorite pictures from that morning.
This is something I will recormend to anyone going to Nepal, especially if you come from a countrie with no mountains like mine. :-)
During our time in Nepal we also spend a day of sightseeing in Katmandu, here are some pictures of a few of the thing we saw.

Since our trip was cut short I would like to go beck to Nepal at some point and spend a few days in Katmandu.
