Welcome to Nepal

From the plane they could see the gigantic snow mountains. Haruto's eyes were glittering. Those mountains reminds him of his childhood.

"Ladies and gentlemen. This is your captain speaking. In a few minutes we will land on Tribhuvan International Airport in Kathmandu. The local time is 3:00pm and the outside temperature is 12 degrees celsius. Remain your seatbelt fastened. Before leaving the aircraft make sure to take all your personal belongings. For any assistance visit the information desk. Thanks for choosing our flight. We look forward to serving you again. Thank you and good afternoon."

After all the formalities they got out from the airport.

"Ahh finally. This 7 hours flight almost got me. So what's the plan Sam?"

"Today we'll be staying in Kathmandu. My dad told me about a hotel in Thamel. Let's take a taxi to the hotel and after taking rest we'll visit the city."

"Sounds great. What do you say Misaki?"

"Fine by me."

"Okay. Let's take a taxi then. Hey do Nepali even speak English?"

"I don't think so. Let's give it a try."

Sam managed to rent a taxi. They reached their hotel in Thamel.

"Ok we are all getting separate rooms. After getting fresh get to the reception. We're gonna go out for a city tour." ,said Sam.

"Oh God look at the time. It's almost evening. Hurry up guys."

Haruto was the first to come to the reception

Haruto was waiting at the reception. There were painting of mountains, demons and animals on the wall. The hotel manager was there. Haruto asked him about the painting of the demons. The manager had fluency in English. He said it was not the painting of demons. Those were the painting of Gods.

Haruto was amazed to see all those paintings. Haruto was very curious about the rituals in Nepal and about ShangriLa. Haruto asked the manager if he believes in ShangriLa. The manager said, "I believe ShangriLa exist. It is somewhere deep in Himalayas. It is also known as the heart of the mountains. There is still a lots of places in Himalayas where no one have ever visited. The weather is harsh there. So I do believe that ShangriLa exists. But I don't believe that Gods used to live there. I believe ShangriLa was a sacred please for Buddhas. Many expedition team went to find the ShangriLa. But reports say that many team members went missing while looking for that place. Now nobody dare to go to there."

"Wow. That's so much to take in. Thanks Mr...."

"Oh. I'm Raman."

"Thanks Mr. Raman for these information."

"You're welcome. You're the guest of Mr. Sorter right?"

"Yes."

(Sorter is Sam's Dad)

"His an old friend of mine."

"Oh. Thanks for the rooms by the way."

"You're welcome. If you need anything just ask. We're at your service."

"We're gonna stay here for the night. Tommorow we are heading for Pokhara. Sam will meet his dad there."

"Oh I see. You can take a taxi from here. No need to worry, I'll manage one for you guys."

"Thanks a lot Mr. Raman. You've been a great help."

"No problem."

Sam and Misaki came.

"What took you guys so long?"

"Haha sorry. I feel asleep." replied Sam.

"Oh God just look at the time. We have to take dinner instead of lunch." said Misaki.

"I guess so. Let's head to the town. Thanks again Mr. Raman. We will see you later."

"Have fun kids."

They got out from the hotel.

"Oh it's cold outside."

"Yeah. So you were talking to Mr. Raman?"

"Yeah."

"What we're you thinking about?"

"About our trip plan and Shangri...."

"What? ShangriLa?"

"Nevermind. Forget that."

"You still believe in ShangriLa. Haha."

"He said it might exist. It's still undiscovered."

"Okay okay. So God used to live in Himalayas?"

"He said it's not like God used to live there. It might be a sacred place for Buddhas."

"Oh I see. Then it would be great to visit there."

"Yeah."

"Okay now let's forget about ShangriLa. I'm starving."

"Yeah Me too." said Misaki.

"Okay then let's go to a restaurant."

"Food here we come!!"
