Top of the World: photos from Nepal
Kathmandu 
Love the Royal Enfield pictures VF. These old British bikes are hard to find these days so I think someone must be building them in India, as I know they are quite common there now. Probably the same people who are producing all those 50's Morris Cowleys and Oxfords!

Dear Gemini Twin
Royal Enfield have been sold in India since 1948 & produced there since 1955. Owned outright by the Indians since 1957. All parts are still readily available from the factory
They are an awesome machine

Hey Peter3127
Yes Mate You can, but the Electra (same as mine a 1946 design) is no longer made & sold as a complete unit, however parts for the same are still manufactured
Sadly the only new ones sold now days are the new generation (plastic) Classic which is not like they used to be, sadly the new ones are now crap

Feel sorry for you flying directly over the brick factory chimneys inbound to the airport which are primary cause of air pollution in Kathmandu.

Co-pilot Limbu looks happy flying with you. I am sure he is learning a lot from your immense experience.
