That evening though, we had some much more fun animal encounters at a traditional night of Nepalese food and music, albeit, as invariably happens, organised for the tourists.
Our first animal encounter was with this Yak. We were a bit confused, as we knew that Yak's are high altitude animals and the altitude of Kathmandu would be too low for them to survive. The mystery was solved though when we heard human voices coming from, what turned out to be, a Yak costume.
Hot on the heels of the yak came a marauding peacock. The peacock had quite a vicious beak and was trying to extract money from the guests, so we gave it a wide birth.
Not so the Yeti though, as he was our favourite.
Here he is showing how well camouflaged he is against the snow (a bit out of place in sunny Kathmandu).
You've got to admit it, our blog does give you the opportunity to see sights that you'll almost certainly never see yourselves. How often do you get to see a real live Yeti!
We were thrilled, hope you are too!
Lots of love, George & Yorkie xxx

I would run a mile if I saw a yeti!
Yetis are our friend! Do you remember the lovely yeti in the pub near Gradbach Youth Hostel? I bet he's just emerged from his summer hibernation!
Hi Fred and co,
we certainly do remember the Yeti at Gradbach, he helped save a number of fool hardy Suffolk and Norfolk branch minders from getting stuck in snow drifts. Somewhere in the archive we have a picture of him in all his glory! You might want to avert your eyes from a future blog which again features Yeti’s. Love George and Yorkie. xxx
