the himals were hidden... langtang barely visible..

little "suri" (suman + rina putri)begins to warm up to her first outing

riya enjoyed her "first picnic" outing too... whether the armchair or the doorbin

bauchhori...

the girls get started on making sandwiches...

.. while the parents experiment with suri's tastebuds with grapes...

.. gyanendra in his throne!

.. meanwhile the sandwiches are nearly done...

.. and then of course a game of uno was is in the cards..

... suman ends up with a fistfull of cards.. and thus ending up doing a feeble "huiya"

.. lunch time for the little one...

... post lunch baba manages to coax the team for a hike up the hill.. after a lot of griping from the kali brigade that preferred to play shoot and die on the carpet!!

suman walking past the baansghari and enjoying the sight of the bistachhaap valley below

walking towards mahankal

... then up the little mound where the temple is. .the highest point in kot danda...

ama chhori... chhori wants her scarf back!

the slightly exhausted but elated group

feeling a kindred spirit with prithibi narayan!

riya does a ganesh impersonation

... and then a krishna..

getting down from mahankal is even tougher than climbing up!!!

gyandendra realises that even more so than the others!

while resting for tea at madan's pasal

.. chiya time ..
