Returned safely to Kathmandu after being stranded in Juphal for several days with no planes coming in or out.  They do not fly to these mountain airstrips when it is cloudy since these clouds can have rocks in them.  I was able to get on the return leg of a charter plane that was hired by another trekking company.  I knew the flight was going to be another white-knuckle flight since the Juphal airstrip is one of the shortest in the world.  Needless to say, it lived up to my expectations since the last half of the flight was flown with mountains obscured by clouds.  Watching the pilots quickly point at things was unhelpful at consoling the wide-eyed passengers.   It was a fine exclamation point to an exhilarating trip.
