Yesterday our team of three arrived in the western city of Dhangadhi after a one hour plane ride on Buddha Air. The terrain is much flatter here, south of the hilly region, than I expected to see in Nepal. This area is known as the Terrai, the flatlands. The monsoon is expected to start in the next week or so. Pre-monsoon weather is HOT and humid; yesterday's temp reached over 105 F.
It is a blessing that this journey has proceeded in stages. From US to Kathmandu, to Dhangadhi, to Achham, the comforts from home are reduced in stages, the climate and other challenges increase, but we have time to adjust to the changes.
We stay in Dhangadhi for two more nights before heading to Achham by jeep. We have several meetings with hospital suppliers over the two days.
Missing home, but holding up well!
