Red Wolf (redwolf)
This document recorded their third quarter of 2004, some of the resident in Nepal, is not a strategy is not a guide for reference only.
Note: the italicized portion is my personal experience and personal opinion, not everyone can meet, refer to the need to carefully.
Situation
Maoists (Maoist) to Mao's strategic thinking as guidelines, 1996 launch People ' s throughout the War, in Nepal and the Government forces launched guerrilla warfare, the main activities to date include the car bombs, the assassination of government officials, blackmail local and foreign to the company's property, the threat of blackmail local celebrities, who occupy the mountain to the Trekking for "sponsorship", preemption Highway etc.
Many of China's Embassy in Nepal had been extorted to build companies, this kind of problem solving is in trouble, do not give money site is about to be destroyed, dingy and Government forces, so ...2004 third quarter I to Nicaraguan South into question a month, try to contact the reporter's identity, the end result cannot be Maoists have sufficient trust and time problems difficult to do so, can only be returned with is already taking place around the message of the students.
If you have the same hobbies, well prepared in advance, the co-ordinators to special method before your eyes will be your "ship" into deep South two hundred kilometres of base, visit the deficit of education and military training.They are very happy to the outside world can learn about their life and ideals, English is a required course for young Maoists, communication is not a problem, as long as they can get used to the tropical jungle and bad environment "journey" of stimuli — wish you good luck.
In July 2004, I've just arrived soon afterwards, bokhara, Mayor of radical organizations by Nepal students, because of the unspoken reason, similar events for granted was attributed by the Maoists.
Similarly, a handful of Nepal criminals under the banner of Mao's flag sweater. A Nepal triad boss, during 2001 to around evil in the name of Mao, the blacklist after hiding, it's all too easy in August 2004, let the cat out of the face, the tea was Mao's secret service, the next day that is watched by Mao sent a "problem solver" shot in the leg, two guns, one shot put brain, so the event, the list goes on and on.It should be said that the poor sectors of southern Nepal likes Maoists.
In mid-August 2004, Maoists and King talks, ask for Highway to be refused, and camphor-plus all the road once again became a battleground, late blockade traffic for several days, since the start of the friends of Tibet will also visit the frontier frequently found, is to stimulate a love for.
If you're lucky enough to meet all residing in Canada for two years of cycling enthusiasts Gao Feng, China, he will give you many interesting v. battle stories — now, Gao cycling across India, Kashmir, Pakistan trip go smoothly.At the end of August 2004, the outbreak of the Communist Party of Nepal population, many large demonstrations, I participated in two of which, active content including Assembly, shouting slogans, dancing, Trekking around the main cities, incineration King portraits, BBQ, tire, etc can also sometimes Nepal's will tie a scarecrow King, the Royal Palace before burning, singing and dancing – when protestors happy tired joke, watched by Government forces replace up to cleaning, the Communist Party will choose a visual effect good place speech to the effect that "Princes of the phase, Ning has the innate" police visit to maintain law and order around ...
Yes, Nepal is a very interesting and quite democratic countries, shouted down with the King's parade by police driving, as long as no violent event, repression of cautious.
It must be said that each encounter stimulating events, I have activities very hard, more than CNN reporter action ... rapidly
Only just started to learn photography, first went to the scene and found that forget to put film; to the parade before occupy the first viewpoint, suddenly aware that MF camera without autofocus, car pressure over ... Depressed ... ...The main contradiction of Nicaragua is the popular discontent with the new King, we can't forget that good old King and a thirteenth outlet was murdered by murders, Maoists is just a distraction and wilfully Royal faire's piece, the Royal elite forces never appeared too – more relevant content on a separate sheet of paper, only the expression of personal opinion.
Last turn to the matter of concern to the safety of visitors, I would like to say that unless you really bad luck to the extreme, as Chinese people want to encounter danger is very difficult.
Trekking experience when bold to declare Maoists themselves as well. Army Green pants, carrying RMB, identity cards, passports, Mainland or the identity of the party members are Communist League is your preference, and sometimes they even are willing to take with you, I heard that someone has in mountain shop, claiming to be a surname hair so dinner discount ...If you didn't make it easy as Japan people Oh ...
He left to buy fare, give a two hundred rupee sponsorship Nepal's war suffice.I, l, met many interesting people who are full of hope for China's desire to encounter Maoists, only gweilo, Japan will be worried about ...
Life in the Thamel, Lakeside these "Bund", just like heaven, military protection you protect themselves also responsible, can think of anything to worry about.
By the way, the Chinese Embassy, stately grandeur than Palace also beautiful, in Nepal or sound ...
Introduction to the main arrival city
Chitwan (CHITWAN)
My special recommendations — Chitwan is a good place to walk (details see below)
Easy money can travel arrangements for three days and two nights, or two-night itinerary, the price is usually US $ 4
0 ~ 55 US $, contain drop between drink and all cost Tip, price is too low will have Maoni, many people have only one chance in life, do not covet xiaobianyi loss Oh. Keep in mind that the fee also includes the two-way ticket * bought, you can schedule the KMT-Chitwan---Pokhara/Lumbin trip, return to the point of departure from the time that is not the economy.Nepal travel agency: May and you take it for granted that understand different, here's "(In Group) with tuanyou" is not the same as domestic tours, limousine, most of the time, they just help you contact the destination hotel, as well as help to buy a ticket, provide a "consolidated" solution.
Therefore, when you full of local people, don't be surprised.In most cases the overall travel costs than your own design in the same line to low-and of course exist super savings programme, later.
It is important to note that if you are with the group, be sure to ask what they can buy tickets and clear a location good hotel ...
You may need a map.Next, you must know, Chitwan is a great lie, known as the National Park, and Northern India received the SAC as a tourist, you arrive just near the Chitwan border town SAURAHA, in-depth tour of Chitwan, you can reach the other and Chitwan adjacent villages.
Nepal has eight such national park, the Chitwan development best, I secretly recommendations you can go to other Park look, absolute self help
SAURAHA than you think to be humble, even without cement road, please do.
The village has an eight-month-old baby of lovely rhinoceros (mother died of mighty) often unsolicited calls I Hotel, is a girl, eyelashes are PL, gentle, never angry, lazy yourself every day.
Patient, ask the local people, you will be able to find her – wish her good health.Comparative maps carefully about, you will know that you can reach only a small part of it, unless you have a sufficient number of economic strength renting elephants he is equipped with a team of expedition into the core area of more than a week, otherwise you won't get to see the real charm of CHITWAN.
Just like with the group went to Lhasa only visited the Potala Palace is back — can and when I did not say, huh, huh.Arrival/departure
Bus
Off-season, Green line, and other official direct train outage, you can from the KMT, Pokhara, Lumbin (Bhairawa), take the Local Bus to go to (you can delegate travel agent), public bus prices not exceeding 250Rs, depending on the vehicle or bad and your owner doesn't allow ability to fluctuate.
Part of the travel agency will provide a flat piece of tourist temporary direct train, mini bus, the fare is slightly higher.
Remember you arrive just Narayanght city, the city and then go to SAURAHA bus.
They take the Bus to the city where is usually Narayanght or Tadi Bazaar (from Narayanght to Tadi Bazaa public buses approximately 10Rs), Tadi Bazaa can have a variety of options to enter the town SAURAHA, distance 6 ~ 7KM.
Road conditions worse, you can select the rickshaw, Taxi, bus, walking, cost 10Rs ~ 150Rs, of course, to cut off season, high season nature is not easy, I provided just a price reference, these nonsense not explained.Aviation
Distance from the town 35KM SAURAHA Bharatpur has airport, there are three airlines candidate, than buses also small aircraft, a sugar bean food and 25 minutes from exciting voyage, if you happen to sit in the first row in the second row ...
You can learn to fly a plane!Three airlines are US $ 63, if someone wants to charge US $ 2, Airport Taxi-don't listen to any explanation he gave you when pigs.
Believe me, in walking distance of 5 seconds really don't need any special means of transport. Incidentally, the majority being slaughtered are Asian.Most of the time you only need to use a back plane, three flight time is at noon, four in the afternoon and, specifically, please consult with the local people.
Your hotel will usually provide timely service by 4WD, four or five people to squeeze a car, the road, price 35KM himself on the way of the Roadster, a la the wind turbulence, Oh.
Accommodation
SAURAHA backpack guesthouse about 100RS ~ 300RS, provide basic beds and barely acceptable sanitary conditions.
As a result of CHITWAN District gas hot animal and plant propagation exuberant, and suitable for holiday, therefore do not recommend saving too.I suggest that the students can occasionally luxury that most mid-range hotels have a comfortable bathroom and chic Garden, fine food, according to the facilities and location, 400Rs ~ 1500RS.
SAURAHA is very small, on foot, five minutes to go through the Centre districts, at its option, without specific recommended to avoid biased.Diet
SAURAHA restaurant, but there are fewer K ' C, Hungry eye of these "famous" should have been enough, the food good and delicious, the price is lower than other regions.
In addition, most mid-range hotels provide food also very good, a lot of people choose a hotel and lodging all-inclusive (such select some deviations from the central area of the hotel).Shopping
There may be nothing worth buying ...
Yes, no. About wildlife book to get a cheaper price.Good season
>Each fall and spring of next year is a good season, summer floods, the River Inn will be flooded.
Trekking
Walk routes have multiple, Holyday way development more mature — the so-called mature only has a lot of people walk, do not expect to enter the Park after any facilities can help you, roads are Rhino came out, you have to follow a lump of a lump of faeces and giant footprints through the three-metre-high grass, including numerous pigra with all kinds of small animals everywhere, luck is good to see rhino ...
Remember that trees ...Have been many tourists were killed, so walking CHITWAN must employ at least two of the wizard, on the one hand, they lead the way for you to find the animal, on the one hand, shoulder the responsibility of protecting you.
You may have to pay for this 400 ~ 600Rs, can go to the park ticket office, there will be many chat up the wizard, some of which have experienced, the hotel provides wizards more professional — and, of course, it depends on luck.According to the requirement that visitors cannot stay overnight in the CHITWAN (unless you live in luxury hotels, but it is difficult to reach on foot the dispersion.
), About a registered visitor of legal entry into the CHITWAN, you must come back in the afternoon. According to the manual and road conditions, one day you can walk 12 ~ 26KM, hard core area in depth, so, if you want to see the fun stuff ...I have hired a wizard two hunters, escape the frontier inspection, since access SAURAHA, spent two days into the core 40KM CHITWAN, came out the other end from the CHITWAN, looking for Asia's largest black crocodile ...
There is no travel agency provides this kind of "illegal" service, if you want to find exciting, must follow wizard chat — risk themselves.Elephant
If you tried walking CHITWAN elephant look very boring, only two hours, and only to the other side of the River near the village of small forest stroll.
I suggest you ride the elephant in the corner to training after as little tips, a good relationship, there will be a surprise!An adult like about price 10 million dollars (Nepal for a grassroots human life is not more than 1 million dollars), people humble than like, regardless of the guide or the ordinary tourist companies can't afford the elephant, can only be rented, and indeed their income less poor.
200Rs on Wizard is a big number, has been given the additional two hours of surprise and more enthusiastic service. You know, you can see animals determined entirely by the wizard, see only the helpless, unable to accuse the wizard not hard — must ensure no outsiders saw the premise to tip.Visitors must pass through the park bench and elephant Park seized things depend on an elephant's nose, so I'm taking some bananas kaolao.
Every morning there will be the elephant school classmates to bubble Rapti River, swim with them with a bath, you will learn many interesting actions, including how to climb the nose by elephant elephants, sometimes they will take your left into the river and then spray laughed at, lovely!
These elephants have not completed the training course, there is a certain risk, carefully!
Other activities
Rock climbing, rafting is not the main activity in the CHITWAN, if your time is abundant, can ask the hotel or travel agent to arrange, because I in CHITWAN of 8 days is used for hiking, did not participate in such activities, specific information is unknown, welcome to add.
Specialty
My specialty is found by elephant's nest when picked up, HA HA.
Economy of Chitwan travel
Since I live corruption investigation, just know it's theoretically possible, did not practice, it is for informational purposes only.
A day of travel (2000RS):
In any way take the Local Bus and all public transportation system reaches Narayanght, SAURAHA, whatever you which city in Nepal, the road of normal circumstances take half a day, would be K C a meal.
To go to the ticket office and wandering in this wizard, select the owner doesn't allow elephant or on foot (if on foot, time may not be enough, if only a half-day, suggestions to ride an elephant)
A couple of hours after you go ...
Back to the way many, bitter, ask the local people.In this way is not worth recommending, afternoon return car choice extremely small, full of uncertainties that could have in places such as Mugling Narayanght or stop for a night, non-tourist areas, security issues they consider.
2 days 1 night journey (1500Rs + one night's room and Board):
I have already said there are some cheap hotels SAURAHA, Annapurna View Lodge, Tharu Loge, Chitwan Jungle Safari Camp, Sunset Camp&Loge, Crocodile Safari Camp, Skyline Jungle Camp ...
Can be lower than the price of 100Rs, I just visited the LP several on the list of cheap guesthouses to deviate from the core area there are many new small hotel in cheaper. At least I can't meet that criteria, you can reach after direct asking "where is the cheapest hotel ..."Buy an LP, you want the data in there, that contains the map.
I say again as detailed in the book.2 days 1 night time sufficient, you can participate in the walking, consider Wizard fee than elephant charges half, actually cheaper for two days and one night can save money.
Arrival in the afternoon or early the next morning at four is a good time into the Park.Three days and two nights travel
(2500Rs + two nights accommodation):The most relaxed most popular schedules, different from the travel plans, you can enter the Park twice!
A ticket can be in the immediate vicinity of two days into the Park twice (if the wizard mix), arrived in the afternoon you can ride the elephant back rest in the evening, the next day and a half days on foot and in the afternoon the elephant school (tickets 15Rs, ride a bicycle for 10 minutes), evening dinner and have a good rest, the third morning the return trip.
Tickets 500Rs + 15Rs, Wizard, 400 ~ 600RS with elephant 1000Rs, round-trip ticket, Board and lodging free 500Rs.
Recommended Chitwan travel
Don't live in the Park, there is no hope to see Tiger, when I entered the Chitwan three later realize that you must live in there to experience more fun, it's a completely different feeling.
Secretly ligation in it's too dangerous, it is recommended to stay in a luxury hotel within the Park.Three days and two nights in a standard stroke, according to the selection of hotels, you may need 200USD (low season), if you are not short of money, the trip more than worth trying out.
The Park Hotel is the Samsung ~ five star, best Tiger Tops Jungle Lodge, standard trip is all-inclusive fee, if you generous 1000USD to believe that they have no need to look at my post, Oh.
By travel arrangements to live in the Park compared to links to cheap, example: near the Park private Airport (83USD) Temple Tiger retail price $ 200USD one night, low season by the travel agency you can get the 200USD for three days and two nights quanbaojia, this truth with internally through travel agents hotel.
Most hotels are more dispersed, respective occupies its own characteristic resources, Tiger Hill or rhino Valley.
In mid-August, I gave my friends stayed in the outer islands, the only hotel that is located in a separate island, Island Jungle Resort with swimming pool, very good, plus all travel agency is the price of three days and two nights 150USD (acquaintance of price ... ), Shuttle bus between and Jeep. You can also choose to fly directly to Bharatpur or Chitwan.The Park of the hotel has its own Hunter, wizards, elephant, Jeep, all modern facilities and special services, perfect for a holiday charm at this, you only need to pay for 100USD, huh, huh.
Watching the Office, all in all I never recommend my friends live outside, since it is a holiday, and only a few days, why not pick the best possible?
The most important thing is that almost all of the large carnivores are only lives in it to see the Tigers, savage bison, huge black crocodile, Monty Python, lizards ...
Last year, in 2003, another near the Chitwan village 17 were eaten by a tiger, 1 person was eaten by a crocodile, this is just the Carnivore initiative outside attack humanity to official statistics, secretly entered the Park died locals ...
If you go into the Park from the village, free and even more exciting, Hei Hei ...
Make your own inquiries.Photography/equipment
When you carry a heavy foot rainforest photo package is unrealistic, you need a completely waterproof rucksack carry only the contours of their most needed equipment.
It is best to wear gaiters and army gum, here than motuo comfortable.The magic of local Hunter sandals or shoes can go in and take a trip, you can try.
Others have nothing to say, don't don't play nice but with a knife, this will stimulate animal dangerous reaction inadequate, a stick.
Encounter Carnivore is beating the Earth, on tree encountered rhino, Buffalo is encountered, the common sense Guide to pray will teach you.Rapti River sunset is my favorite pictures of scenery, the Golden waves and ever-changing clouds, sitting in the river of Golden Pavilion, drink coffee and watch the other side of the home of the elephant, Hunt deer ...
Chitwan in Nepal is my favorite place, if you are interested, you might consider investing in a hotel.
Blue AUBIGNY (LUMBINI)
If you don't believe in Buddhism does not intend to study something, LUMBINI is not a very good tourist attractions, very hot, dirty, gorgeous, high consumption, and the ugly ...
Arrival/departure
Whether you're starting from POKHARA or KMT, BUS can reach the city and close to the North of BHAIRAWA India gate is strategically SUNAULI — Western travel guide SUNAULI described as "foul" and "hygiene maggots", after the actual investigation, I recognized it.
So, if you do not plan to go from here, you do not stay in India ...There are a number of classes a day KMT Local Bus destined for BHAIRAWA, early, night shift and Mimi Bu, fare 170Rs/200Rs/230RS, cost 7 ~ 9 hours, poor road conditions.
There is a bus every morning POKHARA, travel reservations, fares 300Rs, tourists and local people together by Mini Bus — allow me to curse the road, my COMPAQ hard drive is around a rotten.
Odd poor road conditions, constant rapid turn, very hot. Terrible is India TATA vehicles like India people desperate to even go ping would like rowing people left right in General ... On the eve of the departure time, forgetting happy, to sleep, I threw up in the middle of big game, say it is a bit of a shame, but to suggest that the students attention to rest before departure, no matter what camera computer have multiple best are themselves hold ...BHAIRAWA long-distance station,
To take the rickshaw or wait for the Local Bus to the city station, a few km distance, rickshaw needs 10 minutes ride.Take the Local Bus from the city station at Lumbini simply 25Rs, one hour 10 minutes, the whole however twenty miles, believe you here have been used to the speed of Nepal.
Please pay special attention to your return journey arrangements!
Off-season, Lumbini no straight hair bus to large cities, have arrived, most of the cars were BHAIRAWA at eight in the morning before starting the Lumbini to slow the bus BHAIRAWA ...
I was compelled or package a 4WD catches, 500RS is a reasonable price, almost car or in the off-season, you can cut down a little.
Lumbini town a few travel agencies may charge d'affaires tickets can sometimes make a handling fee of no more than 50Rs.
Accommodation
1. If you are a visitor
The town is very small, Lumbini bus to station will be on a large number of rickshaw, they will say to the Maya Temple 5Rs, however you must be more to go to town cheap hotels dropped luggage? 10 seconds on foot.
Since backpack guesthouse less poor, small town is small, poor, I'm not particularly described, to see who could build up, don't be so critical of the harsh environment of the world.
Backpack guesthouse usually 150Rs ~ 250Rs, Daily Sentinel power several times, no matter how hot does not expect to see Chinese mat, room what strange creatures also don't be nervous, here is the Holy places, people and nature, the harmony.
2. If you are a believer
Lumbini St. Park is a constructed building of the square, is located in the period of the world Buddhist temple built in, our great Motherland in this most spectacular luxury Chinese temple, as disciples, produce a Chinese passport and visa for private, free lodging, but must abide by the rules and to the point, the flame of the money and room-limited.
20RS, town of rickshaw can take you to the Chinese Temple, 4KM.
Live in Saint garden has the advantage of the night you can hear the Fox called, huh, huh.
3. If you are the pilgrims
Pilgrims so promising career, San parks nearby but there are five-star hotels, if you are familiar with the monk or Lama, they can get cheaper Deputy to price.
As pilgrims mostly affluent population, Lumbini has many luxury hotels, equipped air conditioning and all luxuries to resist hot — if you're so rich, don't forget that not far from the old primary school, a day of accommodation available for 10 students read books a year.
Diet
Please stay in your hotel or temples have dinner, eat street food is on its own is not responsible, I said, this is not a tourist destination.
Season
Winter and early spring is the best season, very hot no longer, St. Park, Linden, relics, play, years of open fires or a pl, worth shooting points.
Prices will rise by 25%.
Wandering
The garden just go go clap each different temples, find a few masters chat baloney, ascetic rigors, morning meal to shoot a bodhi tree, the night to catch the Fox, as long as you don't go to the poverty of the town, it looks very beautiful.
Equipment
Essential balm（20G）, mosquito repellent lotion, daily necessities (local no supermarket), you can donate goods
Bokhara (POKHARA)
Each to bokhara must have its own specific purpose so you can plan trips.
Stolen think bokhara life there are only two: Trekking and Holiday trip, so I recommend will distinguish two kinds.
Boccara are my oldest city, about a whole month, Lake Side and everyone saw I, Tibetan women no longer recruit my business, people see me are greeted with a "Hello" — I spent a lot of work on the shoulders of embroidery, Lake Side flag and Thamel traders learn the Chinese language, want later to continue this practice.
Arrival/departure
The cheapest way is about Local Bus, and need to endure 200Rs strange taste and speed, it is not recommended.
By the travel agency, there will be some flat chip and local Mini bus, 300 ~ 350Rs stopping twice daily breakfast and lunch, the majority of the people's choice.
Green Line current 12USD, part of the hotel agent can get a Discount, stop in a luxurious holiday resort, with a good meal with meat and drink "knife RIBA" lunch buffet.
Due to the effects of war and the low season, there is very little departure in July.Golden (Travel) Bus is a rising star, 650RS or US $ 10, has a certain discount, it is said that the service is better than the Green Line.
Both good cars in addition to the exemption and not on the guest along the way, and not necessarily fast, because there is only one link Nepal Highway, local car in front of the line check, you also don't want to go fast, but comfortable.
Ticket US $ 63 ~ US $ 69, 30 minutes, bomb can back up ...
Because the traffic is good, think little significance – apart from war blockade roads.Accommodation
First, you need a clear understanding of their needs, the hotel's location is not always determined according to the prices, different needs for different occasions and select the appropriate hotel can make the trip
Way to add color.Trekking Hotel
If the purpose of clarity, the day in hiking, rafting, cycling and other sports, a comfortable bed and clean bathroom suffice, as for the other, you also need a place for Trekking enthusiasts exchanges.
Therefore, your hotel is a good idea to gather a lot of the same hobby, only provides simple but perfect facilities, no TV (influence others and yourself a break) and incidental or close to a Club. Likewise, whether to you in downtown is not important, the day is your theme night need only rest and exchange information.In addition, the Hotel owners of Trekking are also engaged in this way, the experience rich, can bring you many useful information.
No matter where the price of the hotel, Trekking is usually between 150 ~ 300Rs, season when nature difficult to overcrowded bargain him down, Oh-here's information with the KMT, later repeat.
Lake Side is very small, if you take the first bus to arrive before 2: 00 pm, you can use the luggage storage in a restaurant, a meal, then a circle selection yourself window shopping.
It is important to note that child care is a bokhara station known for trouble, pretending not to know English to escape into the road called the car is the best policy ... (Reach Lake Side heartland of reasonable price in 50Rs about where is the Center ... Sure you have the map?)Good hotel usually does not need to be soliciting.
The center of the famous Yeti (snowman) is a standard hotel, as Trekking reference — only in high season they do not have enough room available.
Holiday Hotel
In the morning to open the window is the scenery, is located in the Center but not noisy, with good food and professional waiter, usually does not cause TV (others)
When you time enough to be on vacation, and do not need I recommend, because you can take to the streets to look for.
Just say where I live, I think the Lake Side regardless of geographic location or the services, facilities, building the best hotels, Hotel Fewa, famous Mike ' s Restaurant.
Everyone arrived in the evening but not noisy places, has a Lake Side Centre districts only docks. Comfortable standard room top retail price US $ 25 ~ US $ 35, the garden of a two-tier room US $ 40, the Lake the most perfect love hut US $ 55 annually rising prices, the boss is also very dark, with the exception of low season, other times not easy owner doesn't allow it. I checked out two long-term rent price is ideal. Often there is a chance of Chinese tourists afternoon my shade terrace for the summer chat, many don't live here tourists can also have breakfast here, enjoy ha'afeva Lake best vision — only here to avoid ha'afeva Lake summer midday sunshine.If you feel difficulty in English, need help, Orchid restaurant and two in the restaurant Emei restaurant boss can help you, hotels, Shopping trip, the owner doesn't allow anything, is a very nice person.
Diet
Boccara specialties is ha'afeva Lake silver carp, almost every restaurant has its own fish dish, just tastes boring, just like the fish as steak, Chinese people would have baotiantianwu feeling.
Here a special recommendation, by working in China for more than a decade, l engineering fellow found delicious:
Out of the Lake, along the northern Side of the road ahead is unique about 4 ~ 5KM, roadside will have several adjacent "fish restaurant" to the local cuisine is famous for its fish dishes, all dishes are made by Lotus leaf green pallet blooming of traditional, seasoning sumptuous variety, fried fried cooked taste, reasonably priced.
But, if there is no shuttle bus there some difficulties, taxi most of the time do not like to go, it is recommended that when he went to cyclists.As for the other, the average price, l dining is slightly higher than the KMT, food quality and low vary widely, with some Lake restaurant looks spectacular, tastes really ashamed, feeding needs carefully.
Since I'm more generally, in addition to fish meal, bokhara and no other food I was particularly impressed by every day, try to eat a few times, General.
Later on a computer on top was broken hard disk, lost a lot of information, it cannot remember something more detailed, please bear with me.In the restaurant
Now the Lake Side has two restaurants, the Orchid restaurant in up to nine years, there is a spacious outdoor car park and large banners, very prominent, beautiful decoration.
Since the beginning only a small number of Chinese tourists, had to take account of Europe and the United States and Japan, many people are not authentic "evaluation", in fact their stewed dish is quite good, you can also request to the waiter; China's taste for another is just opened in August of Emei restaurant (Sichuan), July I have ever tasted their preparations of the "experimental cuisine", chef do speak Mandarin of Nepal, it should be said, than just dishes taste shop is small, location, no decoration, price, evaluation as "affordable cuisine", we had a dinner here.Shopping
Rumors, some say, l shopping cheap, the reason is simple: here the guests, the boss can consume to talk to you slowly owner doesn't allow it, huh, huh.
But compared to the KMT, here's the goods kind of incomplete, so I bought the bokhara only a few books that I need gift here didn't get — bokhara books, supermarket daily necessities, CD price is higher than that of the KMT, because the goods are coming from the ...
Prompt, at the eastern end of Lake Side has several small bookstores can stroll.
Sunrise
Lake Si
De is surrounded on three sides by mountains, part of the hotel will arrange for the visitor to view better place to see the Sunrise, heard of the trip with the group go to the distant peak at sunrise needs US $ 6 ~ 8, because I have not tried, is unknown, but you can determine the absolute not those on the Lake Side you can see in the near mountains.Museum
Boccara three Museum, the Folk Museum tickets 50Rs, worth talking about World Mountaineering Museum (name: "INTERNATIONAL MOUNTAIN MUSEUM"), tickets, you can also 300Rs inside watching a documentary about Nepal mountaineering, the informative, even the Yeti information has a counter, you can take pictures ...
Halo, with camera also does not matter.Any landlord or taxi drivers know the location, it is recommended that you visit, leave a gap in the afternoon.
Trekking around Annapurna
Trekking of two days is free, more than three days into the fee to be paid 2000Rs, the Centre districts of ACAP Office very easy to find, while payment can be free maps and information.
Season
The so-called low season, June to August the rain, the first two-day trip will encounter leeches siege road with difficulty, the weather is not too good, it is not easy to see the snow — but in fact does not prevent a stroke, after reaching a certain height nature of these problems disappear.
August is also a Nanjing people successfully gone 19-day big ring road, time, ABC is a Foundation course (7-9 days).Guide
I personally feel that this mature to Annapurna rotten lines do not need the Raiders, Wizard or something, want to get lost on the main trunk line is very difficult, on the mountain throughout the hotel, there are occasional Maoists, very safe.
