Please adjust your watches by 15 minutes

Sunday 4th November.

What exactly is the point of Nepal's separate time zone? It's a small country and has a perfectly good time zone directly to the south (India), but it decides it needs to be another 15 minutes further forward. Unsurprisingly it seems to be on its own on this one. So here we are - Kathmandu, GMT + 5.75.

Go to hotel for 12 hour layover before flight to Bhutan tomorrow, and meet the group - 7 women plus me. To be fair (a) they are all very nice, and (b) there's an American guy joining us in Bhutan tomorrow to even things up a little bit. Happily no one seems to be a trek pro - and everyone's been reading between the lines in the itinerary wondering whether it might be a bit more than a stroll in the park.
