Llegamos a Banbasa despues de 10 horas de camino. Robin nos ayudo a conseguir una taxicleta que nos pasara la frontera de India, desafortunadamente las taxicletas no pueden pasar a Nepal, asi que tenemos que conseguir otra en Nepal. Llegamos a la frontera de India, nos estamparon el pasaporte y llegamos a la oficina de inmigracion de Nepal. Alli, en una casita pequeña, un señor cualquiera vende la visa, la pegan en el pasaporte y esta uno en Nepal… sencillo! Tomamos una taxicleta que nos llevo al hotel en Mahindranagar, el primer pueblo en Nepal.
En la tarde estuvimos caminando por el pueblo pero no hay mucho que hacer, de hecho no hay muchos turistas que se queden aca, asi que los pocos que nos quedamos somos la sensacion del pueblo. Luego estuvimos actualizando el blog en un internet café.
Por la noche fuimos a tomar cerveza y terminamos conversando con bastante gente local y hasta nos invitaron a un par de cervezas… que hospitalidad. Como a las 9:30pm un empleado del hotel vino a decirle al dueño del establecimiento que nosotros estabamos en el hotel donde el trabaja y que ya iban a cerrar, que nos teniamos que ir a dormir. Nosotros no habiamos terminado la cerveza, asi que nos quedamos otro poquito, 5 minutos mas tarde llego el dueño del hotel y nos saco de alla y nos llevo hasta el hotel… parecia un pueblo fantasma, no habia nadie en las calles, todo estaba oscuro parece que no habia electricidad. Mejor dicho, parecia como en toque de queda!

We arrived in Banbasa after 10 hours. Robin helped us out to get a bicycle taxi to take us to the Indian border, unfortunately they cannot cross the border so we will have to get another one in Nepal. We arrived at the border, they stamped our exit and we arrived at the Nepal immigration office. There, in a small house, a man sold us the Nepali visa, stick it on the passport and we are in Nepal… simple! We took another bicycle taxi that dropped us off at a hotel Robin had suggested in Mahindranagar, the first town in Nepal.
In the afternoon we went for a walk around town but there is not much to do, not too many tourists staying here, so everywhere we walked everybody was looking at us. We went to an internet café to update the blog.
In the evening we went for a beer and ended up talking to several local people. They even invited us for a couple of beers… what a hospitable people. Around 9:30pm a hotel employee came to tell the owner of the bar that we were staying in the hotel where he works and they were going to close and we had to go to sleep. We had not finished the beer so we stayed a few more minutes. Five minutes later the hotel owner showed up and took us out of the bar and back to the hotel… it was like a ghost town, everything was dark, it seemed like there was no electricity. It was like everybody was under a curfew order.
