The road from Lalitpur from Sisneri has to be one of the scariest....it's certainly the most scary I have travelled on which, at certain points had sheer drops to the valley below from a narrow carriageway. The road sometimes had a sandy surface,sometimes concrete which was often broken up with craters and holes. When a vehicle approached and passed from the opposite direction we pulled so close to the edge that when there was a sheer drop it was best not to look!In fact last week a taxi with eight on board went over the edge at one point on the road as it was nearing Sisneri, sadly killing seven of those on board. We passed the wreckage of the taxi .....
Having safely negotiated the road we arrived in Sisneri(about a two and a half drive) and ordered fresh fish for our tea. We watched the fish being caught.
And then prepared for us
Even though this whole process took about an hour and a half it was well worth it as the fish tasted wonderful!
Whilst we were eating I asked Tanka "What time does it get dark?" He said "Don't worry Keith I can drive in the dark." This proved to be true despite some of the other drivers and the dangerous road and we safely arrived back in Lalitpur about an hour after dark. Hallelujah !!!
