Monkeys move like punctuation on the terraces while the valley unfurls below—brick courtyards, carved windows, and the distant ridge where the Himalaya rise like a raw horizon. Later, a short transfer takes you to the domestic airport and a mountain flight that lets the peaks loom close enough to study: serrated ridgelines, glaciers glinting, and, on clear days, the flattened icon of Everest pushing above the range.
