Trip to Nepal 1984

I have a large photo album containing photos of overseas holidays which I rarely look at. Hence I have scanned them. Starting with this 5 week trip to Nepal in 1984 organised by Exdodus. I have forgotten the real names of my companions so I have decided to make up names (some may be real). There was my tent mate Pete, an Australian girl Corrine, 2 sisters Barbara and Sarah, 2 married doctors Ian and Ellen, and the leader Simon. We arrived in Katmandu before trekking towards Katchenjunga. All photographs were scanned again in November 2017 as technology had improved.
