Delhi to Katmandu, Part 11
In 2010, I went on an amazing trip, from Delhi to Katmandu. I just want to use this Post to share with you some of the photographs I took on the way. Both were amazing countries and India was particularly vibrant and exciting. Some of the photos were taken through vehicle windows, so i apologise for the poor quality. I don’t propose to write very much, Although my third novel, Devils with Wings: Frozen Sun, is now with my publisher, Silverwood Books, I have started on my new ‘Cold War’ series. So please just enjoy the pictures. The journey continues…
After spending time on the River Ganges and touring around the ghats of Varanasi, we headed for Nepal.
