At the end of the year 2008 in the country people are just starting to like in spring 2008, and with a snowstorm, stock market crash and expand the arduous struggle moment we set foot on departure from the Guangzhou Shanghai flight Kathmandu flights that fly to already have seen God and mountain Kingdom.
L getting ready for a trip
Before long the website again read travels Raiders, Longly Planet's new Chinese version of <<尼泊尔>> required reading as homework. In addition to the conventional equipment, personally think that you can just take some
When the chocolate-for the climb, with no added physical finish can be distributed to those lovely Nepal children, of course in the Thamel district of Kathmandu Superstore you can buy, the price is slightly expensive Bale
A bottle of whiskey-(just me and the partners usually pooled together love drink some wine, Hei Hei) used to drink milk tea time Nepal slightly few drops to the fragrant smells so good become delicious drink (this is our amazing discovery of accidents, even the locals praise mouth felt), climbing can also be added calories, in addition to local food may not be clean, you can also use disinfection
A pair of sports gloves-preferably with small rubber particles, non-slip. To keep warm (especially when in a position to shoot the sunrise or mountaineering), and non-slip
A small bottle of safflower oil-is not only to prevent bone damage, more because of his blood and to climb down, two leg pain, safflower oil can promote blood circulation, promote the physical recovery
Tickets-due to the delay in setting down travel date, so you can only set the Internet from ctrip, currently from the domestic departure ticket is from Guangzhou to China Southern flights from Kathmandu, night flying there from Chengdu (through Lhasa) to Kathmandu, daytime flight routes, and can pass directly from the Everest, only recommended but they need more demand, as scheduled
Exchange rate-recent (January/February 2008) dollar is no worse than in the past people look at, only 61 or 62: 1 and almost everywhere in Kathmandu Money Exchange "or" accept RMB direct exchange so full you can directly buy some RMB exchange also
The recent power outage preparation – blackout throughout Nepal is very serious, generally every 2-3 hours. But obviously this is a phenomenon throughout the entire territory of Nepal, Kathmandu, Pokhara is even, and Chitwan, tourist cities are also not spared so appropriate preparation is necessary, so bring a better waterproofing, resitance of flashlight or more professional headlamps will definitely come in handy for. remember to catch the Sunrise shots hit to electric toothbrushing wash-feeling and don't have a taste. General local everywhere you can find candles (quality good Oh, Oh ...) and of course there are some Inn or restaurant also have their own generators, but often we can only meet the minimum requirements of lighting, remember that there was no electricity in the socket, so later learn, cell phone, camera charging all they must attack first as long as there is power to quickly complete. avoid unexpected obstacles.
Must of mountaineering equipment – in fact, there is no need to engage as climbing Everest-like professional, the most important thing is really just a pair of sturdy, waterproof, breathable winning
These are the material is most important is the psychological and physical, that is, a sincere heart to the Buddha, the Buddha of the Sky God, and yearn for the natural beauty of the Himalayas and adequate physical affection reserves (, climb to the mountain, and then regret not exercise and lack a physical reserves can be too late)
L in Nepal to eat and drink, live and line
Nepal is no good! This is when we left the Buddha of the Sky God heaven of heartfelt sighs, in Kathmandu in Thamel and Pokhara to some in travel gonglue, recommended restaurants, particularly in the LP there is more detailed description of the restaurant, but in fact the level of our country is really too much is too much.
Great Wall Hotel-like food friend is a good place to go in famous Thamel has a great wall hotel, just ask the local has a Chinese opened three-star hotel with restaurant, you can find. There are also Orthodox school Sichuan cuisine chef, can find burning good chicken, tofu, or even spicy hot pot, in addition to Lhasa beer is good, even smile local waiter can speak Chinese, it is easy to communicate.
Helena ' s – well, actually difficult to break, where breakfast and dinner are not up to much, particularly where all the cheese that is made of goat's milk, taste too rushed. Plus the price is relatively dark, their restaurants have high to 8 floor!
(It seems from the rest of the world traveler chopped to gain good OH)Thamel in Italy Restaurant La Dolce Vita – tried it to a good price is relatively fair, where the comparison of the authentic Italian meal color, if you just got caught in a power outage (we met a few times!) to be in an Italian atmosphere to enjoy a romantic candlelight dinner, Oh
Beer-beer in Nepal terribly expensive, than
Domestic also expensive, a bottle of almost 200Rbs, their Local Beer is "Everest Beer", others are just some of the exotic brand such as Denmark's "Tuborg", or San Miguel is the San Miguel Brewery in the country.In Nepal we feel it is best to drink or their Nepal tea, almost every day we drink from a single source. The price is reasonable, is the most cost-effective way, to the point, a large pot "one big pot" cute "Tea," as long as the dozens of Nepali Rbs, enjoy several big Cup of tea aroma, if single buy, generally a cup of tea to at least 20Rbs. And because the local tea is boiled so there is no problem in general health. The road then invited our Nepal Wizard, Sun warm sun, with a few cups of Tea aroma "Nepali", if you then add a few drops of whisky that's comparable Beijing Houhai, or Shanghai Hengshan Road bar top cocktails!, but unhappy with Kenya ...
Was in the "New Everest Pokhara Steakhouse" to our left good memories, when we from hiking, mountaineering and trailed two fast cramp legs back to picturesque, quiet and peaceful when on the one hand and Pokahara local guides with aftertaste that few days climb snow-capped mountains, over the grass and hard on the other hand a few days I saw a big fish in a big meat steak eyes we see red, just big fast flower and desire. There was a bit of steak well mastered, can accurately control the "Medium" level, the addition of fresh with toppings are also. Three great lords have a feast, belly roll Park, pay the Bill only took more than a thousand Rbs, a mouth, value!
Ordinary Nepal meal no leave anything special, but the impression in the foot of the mountain Annapunar days, with harvesting. Due to the relatively high altitude mountains (our altitude from Naya Pul about 1200 m, up to an altitude of about Poon Hill 3200 m) material, are all must rely on Pacers carrying on, so there's nothing much you can pick the leeway. Furthermore, as the local trade association, is basically a local Inn restaurant has a standard version of the menu, but the price is basically the same. Our recommendation is generally every shop has a feature called "Chapatti" bread a piece about a dish size, then called a "Omlet" that is spreading pancake, and then give them volume also became extremely similar to our usual egg rolls again, but less sweet sauce, onion and taste, I'll also better than those fried noodles, easy-to-swallow something in addition to our own has a found that in some Inn if you are lucky and they own in from the mountains to natural mushroom picking, deep brown, natural, and incomparably fresh and original, tasty, remember that day we were at a point, mushroom and egg mushroom soup, and mushroom noodles with playing a tooth Festival. However it depends on luck, because not every Inn has its own, so it is best to ask in advance.
In Nepal by this time, apart from the first days in order to seek a free airport pickup, we directly from Internet Email booked outside Tibet Guesthouse, generally are almost daily transform shelter. Generally speaking, in fact, at present in Kathmandu in fact Tibet Guesthouse is recommended, it is not because the price of Tibet Guesthouse is how cheap, but at least they can also occur in every time of the outage can have their own generators to provide lighting (unfortunately, Sockets or no electricity), thereby eliminating the previous toilet has held a candle of pain. In addition they where hot water supply is good, 24 hours a day, there are enough heat at any time, without having to worry about compelled big winter cold baths.
In Pokhara we tested, several online Raiders inside the Inn mentioned, but more or less still a bit disappointed, until finally discovered the "Peace Plaza" boss is a black thin, like other locals enthusiastic like very, very rare also say a few words of Chinese, we think he is good to be there because he there "invincible Lakeview room", where the strictly speaking is in a quiet area, in the lakeside Inn in the second floor of the third floor of the lake-view room, there are two sides of the window directly on the quiet and beautiful lakes and mountains Fewa Lake, lying on the bed can be a bar to the contrary.
Nepal's pavement is very poor, but because it is on the left lane, so I strongly do not recommend the car. In this barren mountain country, would have been very of the road is not easy, but obviously also lack the appropriate maintenance, resulting in uneven road surface pits dug, big hole holes dotted. In Kathmandu city traffic General Local Bus and directly with the Taxi will fix, due to the recent Nepal's gasoline prices, a rough count a little, it's about our domestic gasoline price 2 times! So now there is no Taxi driver would normally play tables, so it is best to ask the price well in advance
And the long journey it is because of the Greenline is choice. Just a few days just sit three, not only a good driver car (only with respect to safety, but not comfortable), but the rest stop along the way is also good, whether it is a buffet dishes or beverage quality and rest environment, service attitude and so on are all well worth recommending.
