Stroke is the predecessor of gonglue, rest not too catch and basic include the essence of Nepal.1. Kathmandu (Kathmandu): messy difference very harmonious
Talk with are my first impressions are the three words: dirty, messy, poor.
Streets, traffic chaos, dilapidated housing, air, waste land, the River is dirty stinky. Plus this is indeed our Nepal trip visited several cities in one of the worst impression, as a nation's capital is some hanchen. But just like the Morgan said: Canada has to Nepal as guilinzhi in Guangxi Province, is due to the traffic of relations had to go to the capital, but only just borrow (for example go to bokhara or Yangshuo), I also do not demand too high.Plus all the attractions are du bus Plaza (Durbar Square), the great temple (Bouddhanath), monkey Temple (Swayambhunath), burned corpse Temple (Pashupatinath), Royal (Royal Palace).
1) if the accommodation in the Tamil region (Thamel), get a map to walk 15 minutes you can reach the du bus Plaza, here is the world's cultural heritage, but also Nepal previous political, cultural, power centre, until the beginning of the 20th century the Royal Nepal also lives in the Plaza of du Pakistan, and now it has become for tourists as well as for public worship of the Holy land.
Plus all of the du bus Plaza to feel some chaos, some noisy, ticket office, ticket prices are around R300.2) monkey temple we all ask locals ask past, on a small hillside of a small temple, a few minutes to read.
But it is said that we find in the wrong place, real monkey Temple scale to much larger and very worth seeing, it is recommended that you subsequently direct taxi to go to the wrong place.3) Boda Temple: is the white big round top Tower and the eye of Nepal, is the pilgrimage to Tibetan Buddhism, saw many lamas dressed person, this is different from Nepal local popularity of Hinduism.
A taxi to one-way tickets R200, R100.4) burned corpse Temple of fares from June 2009 to the R500 is a person, suspected of stealing money, not just look at India Christians whose body is cremated, but also strange and frightening, were discussed at the last no.
5) Palace from 2 November to start implementing winter visit time, daily 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. closed on public holidays and bank holiday and every Tuesday, Wednesday is not open, alas, we simply because the damn schedule twice missed to visit the Royal Palace, to classmates have good early arrangements, R250 fare.
2. bokhara (Pokhara): and the hand of the person you love, you'll want boccara at the moment is eternity
L is the highlight of the trip, for a total stay of 6 days, where not only the famous trekking, exciting adventure in paragliding and smooth surface of the Lake and leisure costs WA idleness living comfort.
1) on foot: the first afternoon arrival bokhara we immediately and hotel staff to discuss arrangements for trekking.
We chose poon hill in 3 days, the small ring counterclockwise so that not too tired or you can save a day in bokharaLeisure, and set the stroke to the hotel after booking three speak English Beifu + boccara travel Nayapul minibuses. Beifu $ 12 per day per person, roundtrip fares (8 seats) R5000. Pay for ACAP Office handling after going to the mountain pass and TIMS card. The mountain pass is a day of trekking are needed, fill out a form and submit a photo, costs are R2000; TIMS, beifu necessary for a proof, it is a photograph and then make R400. These two documents will have when walking into the police check point check.The next morning in the hotel lobby to see our lovely porter: Raju, Thaku Jagon, bulky and baggage in the hotel then simple luggage to porter after our three-day journey on foot.
Day1: bokhara drive to Nayapul takes approximately 1 hour or so, basic is the mountain, but the scenery is beautiful on both sides, can have a good appreciation, beginning from Nayapul with 11 road tram solve all the problems.
First day's itinerary from 1070 meters above sea level Nayapul went to 1940 m Ghandruk, basic is the slope, compared to ease traffic better, no need to resort to knee or alpenstock along with some beautiful tea house for rest, drink tea, lunch at the river of a tea house, listening to the sound of running water flowing rapidly eating lunch drink chilled sprite is still very cool. The first day of walking approximately 6 hours you can reach the place of residence, Ghandruk distance 11 km, rest for a night battle again tomorrow.Day2: second day than the first day of the tired, approximately 8 hours to go, have a relatively large segments of the upgrade, but there are downhill you can swap out peacefully.
Today's task is from 1940 meters of altitude 2800 Ghandruk go to Ghorepani, about the road or some challenges, somewhere very muddy road is very poor, some upgrade steps tall and more, the manual is a great test, from this day requires kneepad and alpenstock to lend the force, but fortunately, there are three beautiful snow mountain, namely Annapurna South (7219m), Annapurna I (8091m) and Machapuchre/Fish Tail (6997m). We and the snow was so close as to be able to smell the snow blowing cold but the fresh air, good happiness. Our journey all 19 km, night 6 point reaches the place of residence.Day3: third genius is the body and mind to accept the double test day.
4: 30 in the morning, getting up 5 points from 2800 m Ghorepani climb to 3200 metres of poon hill top to see the sunrise. In the dark forces'prime, team up in the morning yanyanshishi plays alpenstock leaning to power on the road in the mountain road, heading towards poon hill, like a group of pious believers towards Mecca, or a group of committed people to accomplish a Holy mission. Poor I had eaten breakfast lacked the energy, the previous day's journey to let my legs like irrigation as a lead twitched, rising above and let me a splitting headache, difficulty breathing stopped several times along the way have to breath, looked a sky full of stars, think of this three-day so hard mountain trekking is not just to the sacred this morning the beautiful Sunrise, bite with faith supports their continued to climb, 1 hour after finally reached the top of the Hill. Then vovage, distant clouds have a little red, slowly the clouds were dyed pink cotton candy, when the Sun finally came from behind a mountain of playfully head, turn at the other side of the original quiet white peaks stand has been covered with soft but bright light golden xiaguang, Holy. The crowd gasp shutter sound, applause, but then ebb, my heart has stopped abnormally calm, in the hands of all the action and all the thoughts in my head, quietly enjoying this moment of beautiful and touching, and collections in mind.Watching the sunrise and the withdrawal of the hotel looked at Ghorepani trekking breakfast, simple enjoyment begins after a day's trip over the pain.
The third day we must go back to Ghorepani, total 25 km Nayapul, walk 10 hours, but all of them are under the road, plus some sections is not very good, on a knee is a great challenge. But even in the Sun fast downhill, then our team is to encounter on the way out, Nayapul two dial drunk young man, with full of delirium took us not let go, then my heart really is riding the fear. The mountains No 6 point light, very difficult to go mountain, plus the two dial drunk locals, it is hard to imagine what will happen. Fortunately, the Morgan and our brave beifu Raju wit, and the allocation of people blowing smooth dump them, thanks to the contribution of his intense Panda flashlights, Tina continues to encourage and help the release Thaku us when we arrived at 6: 30 in the evening they arrive safely at a sitting last Nayapul hotel car, heart of stone also fell.In the three-day period also special appreciated on foot of a people is one of our beifu Raju, he was the first to make me feel human glory of Nepal, was the first to let my heart wants to help the people of Nepal.
Raju look about 30, dark skin is not high, speech though, but very very sincere. 3 days he will not only help us carry luggage to our leading the way, in other beifu break he also took the initiative to help us to attend to your order, the order, the kitchen cooking soon, as we arrange comfortable room, help much to two bed blankets and hot water; let us see the sunrise in the morning you get up to get up on time and to remind us to accompany we climb uphillTop. Raju always said he had no faith, his beliefs only snow and his guest, but he does exactly the same way. He remember previous many guest's name, his trip to guests as her own family care, and many who drops after become his friend. At the end of our trekking to Raju double tips (30 USD) to thank him for all the way to our care, I put my knee gave him a good protection of the knee, gave him some candy for his three children to eat, you can see his eyes gleam of gratitude and happy. Raju is very like the Chinese, like Chinese songs, if you have friends in the future to bokhara hiking you can get in touch with him, or feel good honest people of Nepal, his contact information is:Email: rajubhandari40@yahoo.com
MP: 00977 9803659328
Future students to arrange trekking of poon hill, I recommend that go counterclockwise, so that you can rarely get some uphill, reduce knee pain, but if time allows, or divided into 4 days to go (to Ghorepani to Nayapul journey into two days to go), a trip wouldn't catch, or walking alone at night may encounter dangerous situation, and also may be able to enjoy this beautiful scenery all the way to the mountain village fields, especially near to several villages of Nayapul, still very nice, but we are too busy to stay to get somewhere.
2) paraglider Paragliding
Paragliding can be regarded as the Nepal trip a major bright spot, we scheduled a blue sky paragliding, it is said that the company is the best one.
This year the price of half an hour has risen to 70 €/105 dollars, we ran several agents, ultimately to us $ 85/person price take, Oh, or whether it is drastic.In the morning a van will put all the guests together with coach (pilot) and equipment (of course the paragliding) to Sarangkot Hill (elevation of 1500 meters) of a great slopes.
Assigned a coach after a simple one-to-one teaching, basic is to tell us something to take off running posture, familiarize yourself with the coach's password, the difficulties in the air should do, and the comfort we fear not. Next coach will help us put on a backpack, in fact, the backpack is empty inside, into the air it will be our comfortable chair and wait to coach his parachute paving, parachute and rope to hang yourself to our "can ran on, shout!, you can pull out all the time trying to run it. The coach will also open paragliding, so the wind run two step will fly, Oh, then you can really experience the feeling of flying.If you don't fear high (approximately 2000 m altitude) and the budget allows, it is recommended that you must try paragliding, in the air at the snowy mountains, Lake terrace, WA and the feeling of the old city, l really, absolutely will let you don't trip.
Paragliding on weather demands high, only in October of each year to the next early flight, because the need for hot air, and every day could only about 3-4 times a flight: 10 a.m., 11, 2 pm, 3 pm. To play you can bring small paragliding card machine Pats photos and video, paragliding company can also provide professional services to 20 photos + a 1 minute video fees R1000.3) fee WA Lake canoeing and world peace Tower
They say that the water will become a place of flexibility, whereas costs WA Lake will prove it is not fake.
Rent a boat and sail Blue Lake WA costs, take a look at both sides of the Lake and the snowy mountains in the distance, you really will want time to rest.Lake there is a Hindu temple, it seems that the incense is very good, we don't have to stay but went further away a mountain of world peace Tower.
From the foot of the climb to the top of the Tower takes approximately 1 hour of time (especially in the 3 days of high intensity trekking, legs are not your own), the White Tower is built of small Japan, nothing to see, but the commanding heights of the mountain scenery is quite good and the weather is good you can take to the snowy mountains + Lake + photos of flowers. It is said that at the top of the tower at sunset is also very good, but it is important to note down the Hill takes 30-45 minutes, to the end/totally sunset before dark Hill, or very dangerous. Chartering and from world peace Tower (with the boatmen) R600.4) car rental
You can rent bicycles, electric vehicles and motorcycles.
Bicycle R50 per hour, like riding, simply do not have to pay any deposit, certificates, do not ask what you live, absolute honesty, hard work daring good pure and lovely people of Nepal is ~ ~ ~Riding a bike can go everywhere, we ride to the city friendship park to watch the sunset, but it's important to note that Nepal lane to the left so it is with the Mainland by bike in the opposite direction, start some not used but in a few minutes.
3. the widening-(Nagarkot): Himalayan Eagle
The widening-is an elevation of about 2000 meters of the mountain, we set the resort a great view of the mountain.
In fact, here is a look at the huge snow and Sun, but the environment is very beautiful, if the weather is good you can see Mount Everest, which in the l can not see. Unfortunately, we're going to do that every day of the public, the thick clouds block just rising sun and the interlocking of xuefeng, alas, no matter what the journey or to leave some regret, will come again for the next time you find an excuse, HA HA.4. Bard posts (Bhaktapur): Red Castle
Bard posts is our only started yet to get off at place, this is an old city, look ordinary non-singular, but when the car slowly into the old city is located in the hinterland of the du Pakistan square, we were ahead of the instantaneous vision.
Bard Kong du bus Plaza is very large, its beautiful and full of architecture is three du bus Plaza in the highest, there is a wonderful form of Gammon and 55 in the morning, or afternoon sun exposure, the building also makes a beautiful and gentle pink light.We live near the square du bus, so you can close feeling Abad Kong people's everyday lives.
Most of the people of Nepal are Hindu belief, devout followers of India, 4 every morning at 5 a.m., holding a dish, there are a number of rice, yellow or red petals and red pigment, start one by one to the temple or the idol worship. Nepal's temple was very interesting, they don't like our becassocked knees, they will shake off a large temple, informed gods he bells to regurds, after the rice, petals in Buddha head shoulders or statues around the small hole, and finally will hand dipped from red paint in the statues face. With such a ceremony a visit down takes approximately 1-2 hours or so, no wonder people work or school to Nepal from 10 am to start yet.In de post we also happened to be caught in a Maoist demonstrations, night a group of people cite the shouting slogans on fire, the next morning at du bus Plaza hanging on Maoist flags and sickle flag began to lecture, hoe the intensityof Ah, there are a lot of armed police force (but just carrying a stick) beside the stand-by, quite interesting.
Ask the local people say that in a few months in Nepal will begin in the Constitution, and the Maoists want continuous 10 days of processions to win more seats and a voice that ultimately affect the content of the Constitution. It is said that on November 10, large-scale demonstrations will spread Nepal national, when all of the domestic or international flights are cancelled, the students may want to note.5. despatin (Patan): trance resort
To Nepal so many days found here people most like to do besides the temple is to find a local Rachel, whether it be in Palestine Square on top of the ancient building or in the doorway to the next level, even the Nepal dog are transmitted so lazy.
But we also learn despatin Nepal the glorious tradition of the people, after finding a despatin Palace shady corners sit down, do not want to see the sky, take a look at wood carvings, listen to the Dove is called, the trance and walk with me, an hour down to feel relaxed and happy. Hungry drops of God, which if put to Shanghai/Beijing Office is also near the boss that you have found a bad batch of Ah, Nepal people live really extravagant, huh, huh.2. traffic
1. a all to the Green Line, l is said to have been the price this year to $ 20 one-way, so we added some more money from Hotel hired a Toyota car, $ one-way (door to door), approximately 6 hours by car.
Plus all the bokhara can sit on the right, but not for what the landscape, to tell the truth to the trekking will feel SCEN General, mostly sitting right can least sun protection for skin, huh, huh.2. l return plus sat is Yeti Airlines aircraft, more than half an hour.
Nepal is a landlocked Aviation of 18-40 seat of small aircraft, open up the voice game over a dozen tractor with moving voice. Just got on the plane to the passengers of flight attendants is not a beverage, but — cotton — for you to plug their ears. Hehe, even in the past few years also getting about, met for the first time in the match the ears cotton situation by plane. Small aircraft fly is not very high, along the way, you can see out the window of a succession of xuefeng and terrace city. Boccara fly plus all sat on the left (the Meili snow mountain on the left), plus all fly bokhara instead. One-way $ 70 aircraft, we are ahead of local travel agency to buy in, plus all and boccara has many of the airline ticket agent, you can go from door to ask, should also be talking about lower prices, for example, we ask to Buddah Air60 dollar ticket.3. are the widened, Bard posts and despatin we bought from local travel agency for a 3-day package, including transportation, accommodation, two two-day breakfast and a dinner, a total of $ 45, which eliminates the small bag carrying large packages such as public transport circulation, the price is very fair.
Plus all that plus peak 1 and a half hours, the Naga to de post, Bard just to Tanzania, Tanzania to add each half an hour by car.4. Add all to the widening of the road Qi poor Beach dirty, dusty, drivers brother like wide open window, so be sure to wear masks, hats, scarves, etc., to prevent access to free "hujiaomian".
5. comparison of poor road conditions of Nepal, drove most of TaTa's big trucks or large goods vehicle speed fast and severe overloading, we on the road to see several accident.
So be sure to remind drivers to be careful driving don't talk to him. Nepal people also like to have my own car (or even a tank car) dressed funky, also write slogans (for example, love is poison, see you, and so on), it is lovely, and enjoy a variety of auto accessory can also spend a lot of time, huh, huh.3. food
1. Nepal travel eat is good, also very cheap.
Western, Chinese and Korean meal, India, Nepal local dishes. We ate this row is quite luxurious, basic each meal with drink + soup + main course, spend about one meal R500-700 can eat very well.2. breakfast you can choose to set, which includes breakfast, coffee/tea/fruit juice + bread + eggs + butter/jam + potatoes.
Just people NepalPeople for food definition with our usual concept is not quite the same, we do as the Romans do, or many bear point bar:There is no Omelette onions, tomatoes, and became a national sense of the omelet.
Hash brown potato is potato cake and Nepal version becomes fried potatoes;
Toast the bread is simple;
Breakfast can also be a single point: museli (dried oats) or cornflakes (corn flakes) and curd (yoghurt) or milk (milk), crepe (French thin pie, filling the heart has a salty-sweet), etc.
3. Western lunch and dinner you can point a variety of soup, beef (steak), chicken and fish, lamb and pork Nepal is relatively small.
Practices are baked, sizller sizzling grill, etc, there are a lot of sauce sauce can choose. General soup with garlic bread or butter, main course with a little package of vegetables and staple food.4. India/Nepal staple foods including chicken masala tika (a local spices), tandori with naan etc.
More difficult to translate, taste good, you can let the attendant introduce point some taste.5. local beef (buff) is beef, very old hard chew, it is recommended that you do not eat.
6. There are a variety of drinks taste of lassi (yogurt), coke, sprite, tea coffee, black tea, etc.
We also tasted the local beer Ice Everest and Nepal, as well as local whiskey Royal Stag (48 degrees), the flavor is good.7. recommended restaurants: bokhara of Moon Dance and plus all of Nanlog.
The two stores are our two patronize stores, food beverage quality and presentation, services, dining environment to the prices are very satisfactory.8. the mountains of food in cities FABI, but the price is very fair specifications are still acceptable.
9. it is important to note that most of the restaurants in Nepal will receive 10%-23% of service charge and/or VAT, the last play to billing.
4. accommodation
1. a set of all and boccara is recommended on all gonglue Tibet Guest House and Hotel View Point.
Tibet I do not recommend that the room is not good but also some unpleasant things. Hotel View Point also generally. Recommended if you live in one place for several days you can reserve a day of accommodation, then take the time to see the room on the ground. We in Canada have been on the last day of Tibet to catch out of reselling to a very bad hotel, but we are not resign himself to his own home to find that the results found in Thamel district but oak.located better static, room prices of hotel reservations Norling Guesthouse, sometimes also true as well.2. the widening of the accommodation are also good, the mountains are holiday resorts, frugal.
3. Bard just live in Sunny Guesthouse, recommended.
The room was large and clean, the service is also very good. Location is good, but do not live in the face of du bus Plaza Room, poor I was in the middle of the night was devout Nepal people by Bell sound to wake of alive, and a night, Oh ~ ~ ~4. the hotel will have room to add 10%-23%, while others are not, intended to clarify.
5. shopping
This line is a group of madmen, from shopping, l, Bard post buy all the way back to Canada on their way and businessmen both, wits, look, so after numerous round thanks to a pair of golden eye shade plus a snarl steel teeth, huh, huh, this gives some experience with you.
1. I think shopping or Canada are quite good, on the one hand, something more quality, more natural on the competition a good bargain.
To buy paper products and gemstone jewelry. In paper products shop can look to the many local rice paper made and hand-drawn artwork, vase, candle holder, incense burner, bracelets, animal furnishings, jewelry box, pen holder to plates and bowls, giving very good. In gemstones we start is when the real estate of more semi-precious stones such as lapis lazuli Lapis, garnet Garnet citrine, topaz, turquoise Turquoise, coral coral, pearl shell ' s mother Jane Pinctada products and so on. Necklaces Pendants, earrings, rings, bracelets and cufflinks, everything, works can also be a more reasonable price.2. Bard Kong bronze more, you can here set to start.
We bought the Peacock Bell, and some have a small brass bronze sculpture. Here woodcarving and pottery is relatively concentrated, can shop around after start.3. something that no other bokhara several good, but we're local scouring to a designer open shop, which sells everything has a very unique sense of design, although the price is more expensive than other stores, and we visited four time cut down price, but ultimately at it's something of quality and design or bought.
A few people to start six scarf and a necklace.4. Nepal cashmere pashmina sold everywhere, every family and claimed to be 100% wool or cashmere, but seeing so many goods conclude: 1) true cashmere scarf prices are in US $ 100 or more, never less than the price; 2) true cashmere scarf color single no patterns, highlight color and texture; 3) the label of authenticity is sewn on the scarf and SD material and "Hand ma
De in Nepal, "and" Export Quality, "but fake labels are put; 4) genuine quality is extremely light and soft, but very warm, round neck sweat 1 minutes and does not have a reflective effect. We later when the purchase must be careful not to be cheated.5. shopping have to shop around, look at the same time ask the price they would have gained the golden eye.
Some merchants offer is very flat, that's not to kill too many prices, it would be nice to make a compromise; some merchants offer water for many, that first sights of stuff with psychological price point lower than psychological price from the price starts to cut up, more than the price immediately go in mind. Some can even start from knee price cut, huh, huh, this you'll see your own psychology and the mouth of Kung Fu. But if you do not want to buy you don't talk, don't give others and yourself unnecessary hassle.6. other considerations
1. ask do not look for police and security, they do not know English.
You can find the store clerk or young people, usually relatively warm in English;2. go to Nepal to bring enough dollar and RMB, the local banking sector is underdeveloped, after shopping in the big wreck of the US dollar currency can also be exchanged for rupees for you to continue to battle;
3. US dollar/rupiah exchange rate changes every day, about 73% of RMB/rupee in around 10, plus all of the exchange rate is higher than the other cities.
If you purchased the premium can be whatever the door go talk to them a better exchange rate;4. a few cities are Valley of temperature, the temperature of the l is higher than the increase of 2 degrees, but the temperature and the mountain is very low.
So if you go to the end of October, clothes from the summer (short sleeve) to winter (emergency clothing + zhuarong), but not cotton and wool trousers;5. recommendations with a thin sleeping bags, Nepal's guesthouse sheets are not particularly clean, rather cold mountain, sleeping bags can also be used;
6. delivery to Nepal as far as possible with the right hand man, because they think the left hand not net;
7. it is best not to India Christians eat beef, most of India Christians do not eat beef, but not excluding a few exceptions;
8. Nepal sunshine girls are strong, we must do a good sunscreen, to protect their delicate skin;
9. Nepal trip four Po: masks, ear plugs, alpenstock, knee;
10. Nepal has been cancelled APDT
