June may not be the best time to take a trip to Nepalgunj. The temperature was at 43 degree Celsius when we reached the plains, and we were told that we were lucky to have arrived after the rains. A week before, the temperature was above 47 degree Celsius.   These shots were taken during my short stay in Nepalgunj.
