Preface

Don't know how to begin our travels, then to a journal or a running tally of the way we travel over the past few days.

We just want to use simple text, make the trip down the process.

When want to take the title for a long time, do not want to use a poetic title to Boren eye, after all, this place should not be used as a poetic expression.

Experience and insights, this name may not be able to fully express our experiences of the trip, but by this time, we experience a totally different life, to realize to the history of precipitation and the breath of life.

This record will be divided into two articles, travel articles and strategy articles, same as we do not go hiking, it might be helpful.

9/30

Today at noon, we hire a car to the station, take the Airport 5 lines.

In approximately one and a half hours later, arrived at Pudong airport second terminal building, this is our first time to the 2nd terminal building. Get boarding pass, Dragonair ground at our visa for half a day, also found on the edge of another ground asked for a long time, we are wondering did not know where there is a problem, she came, this is valid for 15 days, now has expired. I am very depressed and she said, should be valid for six months, 15 days each landing. So she was careful to say that I find on the visa time, finally found written 6 months valid words, good boarding pass, a security check, everything step by step. Dragonair flight Hong Kong flights is 321 models, husband a little disappointed. But it is in the machine meal appeared the legendary Haagen-Dazs, just size smaller than the minimum buy on the outside of the size of a small cup. But better than nothing, in order also merited the Haagen-Dazs. Two and a half hours later, we arrived in Hong Kong, said countless minor to Hong Kong, did not expect the first trip to Hongkong is changing. Soon we asked to change the channel, then a security check, to Nepal's Gate and found that there is no waiting for check-in, at most a Chinese person is the Taiwan people. This time we said Shanghainese, no one understand, think I felt very happy. Next is the last four and a half-time of flight, the plane on the flight attendant obviously confusing, but people actually do not speak Mandarin, had to speak English, depressed. Day had two dinner, while the machine is not delicious meal, good, at least one treatment later encounter in bokhara said Air China, Shanghai, people sit three aircraft only meal is dinner.

In our sleepy eyes Misty, aircraft landing at KTM on time (plus have full) airport, walk down the plane, go to the terminal building, the attention is going to, is sufficient to show that there are many small airport.

Exit the security check is a wrinkled old, feel themselves to a very old State, but did not encounter the Raiders in the things you want to tip, they did not say a word on the release. Take the luggage for $ 20 emergency use, out of the airport, found countless people in the door waiting for TAXI drivers, mostly in soliciting (this term is used the good strange), our online pre-booking a GH pick-up, countless brands to find our names, and finally the end of the team found the husband's name. He takes us on a small Alto (here it is basically the world car of the Alto, look to reference happy net), in the dark and bumpy alley Shuttle, her husband said, we both had the guts to really big, top of the top p p and ran to the Nepal, if really sold us, and maybe helping them count the money. About 15 minutes later, we stopped in a small building, the Boy took us into the fourth floor of the room and a little disappointed, especially the bathroom is very simple and no hot water, the bed is not so clean, but because the next day we're off to bokhara, fortunately we have a one-time bedclothes, so put it a night. Shower didn't wash, the late one night I didn't sleep very well.

10/1

Today is the day to PKR, 6 am got more, in fact all night, so very early on by a dog called, cock and the Crow that was not sleep properly, finishing off the floor, in this GH breakfast, I point a Simple Breakfast and Nepali Tea, husband points out, looks like a chicken sandwich, weight is enough, her husband had only 1/2.

Billing, the Boy was deemed the 2RS 20RS find gave husband (hindsight we had, at that time did not yet know how the local currency), but also to sell 28RS a bottle of water to us, this is our first encountered the KTM a disappointing thing.

Another Boy very enthusiastic brings us to the Green Line of the station (the station free Tea and Coffee, bokhara charges for returned station, nothing) and not ask us for any tips, from GH to GL will probably only need 10min.

Unfortunately we only change to the left seat, right, a whole row is a group of Taiwan people Pack away, before Raiders, rely on the right side of the scenic much better than left, but as it turns out, if you are a love to sleep in the car, the scenery of one of your business. Entire GL addition to most of the people of Taiwan, are Occidental and India (or other Southeast Asian countries, then confuse). Departure in front of an hour, is plugging in KTM urban, it's hard to imagine that there is no traffic lights traffic would be like, what the State of confusion. 12 noon, arriving at the Springs Resort Riverside lunch, buffet style, only the Curry Chicken, rice, fried noodles can choose, and also provide Tea (including Black Tea and Nepali Tea), Milk and Water. But Curry with chicken taste good, but curry sauce with local flavor, taste a little weird. Personally feel that fried noodles go too salty, not food delicious. The form of buffet food can be added, but with six pmDay trips, try not too too saturated, or top up the stomach cannot bear (stomach super good to ignore). The Resort has a swimming pool, we went to was repainted, possibly to the upcoming Adha. GL day apart from outside will then stopped for lunch for three to four times, basically every half an hour would have stopped to let visitors to the toilet, so I'm quite user-friendly. Nearly four in the afternoon, we went to the last of bokhara, an hour's walk, if the weather is good, you can see the whole fish, this time to sober up look at the scenery, after all, here is the famous snowy mountains, other times, the fundamental is on both sides of the mountains and terraced fields, the truth that this kind of landscape in the domestic many, not very attractive.

When you arrive at PKR, GH Boy already station brand with GH is waiting for us, of course, there are also many other drivers and GH in soliciting, and we arrived at the same time the three of us live in the Grand Holiday, car about 10min, got to the GH, our booking Double Standard Room was gone, let's see the deluxe room, the room looks very clean, relative to the room with the KTM does not know how much better, so we talked about a price live, although $ 11 in the eyes of others is very expensive, but we seem to have a meet up, are of the GH KTM.

Most importantly, from GH window can directly see the fishtail peak, feeling fabulous, magic mountain view. Rectifying the rest, and the foreground of the Boy on tomorrow's Package to see the Sunrise Sagrakot, full on for over an hour, he thought, our business, always do so we went out to look at other places, in the end we had here in his half-day tour of tomorrow Package transaction to 2000RS (good than Raiders 500RS on expensive AH), but her husband feel that he provide safer here, but I got to know how value. On the finished Package, we went to the Lake side looking for dinner, so many choices, but don't know what to do. Go to the last hungry, arbitrarily into a family whose name was Once upon a time in the dining room and sat down, fried rice and Curry with rice, plus a potato salad, husband feel this salad is very delicious, other generally like it. After dinner, we at the Lake side slowly walked, saw numerous cattle leisurely walking in the street, do not give way to pedestrians and cars, the end is regarded God's tribute Bong!

10/2

5: 00 a.m. departure from GH Sagrakot watching the Sunrise, the driver had about half an hour, all the way up the mountain road, the driver's level is too much (later discovered that Nepal all drivers were very much), I went in the car and went for a while, up to half of the mountain, paid for the ticket fees, to the top of the Hill.

Get off after one person following us, I reminded her husband that he would want a tip, but her husband does not react to himself, he let him all the way to follow. Walk up, see 5min many people, mostly Chinese, it seems this attractions with mission to attractions and photographers to attractions. In addition there is a road about half an hour to go, can stand high see farther, but the way leading to soaring spot. Our mountain Sunrise are not too interested in, so there is no walk in the past. Time close to 6 points, the eastern sky start redness, watching the sun slowly rises, suddenly appeared in front of everyone, the entire mountain and cheered when the sun shines at the top of the mountains, Sunshine mountain, feeling very shocking. But since in Huangshan Sunrise and Lijiang seen sunlight mountain, mountain Sunrise interest is greatly reduced. Since there is no corner shelf, took a photo of shook, we're moving towards the direction of the mountain, that followed our guided tours start as expected for a tip, the asking price as high as 30-50 $, we finally gave 200RS, fortunately did not continue to recover, leaving us also on the Car.

The next driver took us to the local Hindu temple, hateful Bhimsen is the driver of the English level is too low, not to say that there is no way to communicate.

This temple, local women are holding a pot of flowers in the queued blessing of Saint, see an old man sitting in front of the temple, touched the believers of Mumbles head and mouth should be given the blessing and mercy. I cannot find can exchange informed whether or not this is a holiday, but you can see that we are all very devout. PKR Temple sum we think different, so small that it is almost impossible to let people have a passion, but also not refined or not beautiful, sometimes beliefs, may not need too much of the foreign decoration to informed gods great faith in their hearts. The next station to another Tibetan Buddhism the Lama Temple, but we can't remember its name, the temple seems to be trimmed back, but seems to have no more to see the content. In the temple outside under the bridge, the flowing River, the City is said to have water from snow fashion down the narrow river turbulent flow, the water is clean, and the entire PKR is completely different from dirty feeling (then know that PKR has become relatively clean). Drive continued to go to the next spot Devil ' s Falls, bought the tickets, far away to hear a sound, the Park and very few people, go to in-depth, see water from nearby streams to its torrent dashes down in front of us, waterfall, which falls on your feet, all the way to the cave. Relative to domestic falls, might be a little pale, and the biggest selling point is that falls to look down instead of looking up, but at least it relies on a beautiful love story. After the Fall, opposite the famous Mahadev Cave, bought after the first coat-tail into the hole, there is a temporary Temple, in the middle of a stalactite cave, because of the shape is similar to the genitals, also in the Gondo stone artificial above plus five snakeheads and a Pavilion, such as Shiva to worship (this time feel a little fools),A temple, because there is a coat-tail can enter into the caves of in-depth, we open a gates, access to which, along the narrow and moist, stalactites of water continuously to drip, which no man management, it is estimated that even slip fall into the water, but also for a long time no one would be found, and domestic every cave formation of management. Reached the end of the cave, see the Devil ' s Falls of water pours down, the spots only.

Out of the Cave so hot that no, rest, Raiders, here there is a Tibetan village near Tashi Ling, we want to look at the past, this time our driver over the life and not let us go, say what's in a hurry and the like, without counting the cost of the attractions waiting, or let us call the car back.

In delay for a long time, finally agreed to wait for us, this time we 25min on the drivers have no favor, impression a collapse into a muddle. Tashi Ling in a school on the edge is really just a courtyard, a circle are shops and stalls that sell all kinds of Tibetan jewelry, it is said that price is higher than the outside and KTM are cost-effective, we bought a Singing Bowl, no more go left, but the husband or want to try again.

After lunch return to Lake side, got a call the Rice Bowl restaurant, Momo, Momo is in fact the dumplings, should be passed from the Tibetan region, just filling in a Curry, forever is probably so called improvement.

The weather is too hot not willing to go out to lunch we went back to GH is encountered from Shanghai lovers to our GH reservation, gliding Package and they got chatting. They have just returned from Trekking, from their description, Trekking is really prepared for the European beauty is not only physical strength, is the challenge of the self, many people go to the middle of the road returns, complete Trekking plans, in fact, not in the majority. In addition to extremely fond of walking mountain-climbing, even complete the easiest link is quite difficult. Fortunately, we see ourselves, from the outset, there would be no choice then fled on foot. These people are lovely, and our chat very and very speculative and later in PKR and KTM have good times encountered, just forgot to leave contact information.

Then back to the room and watch TV sleep sleeping, very comfortable, in fact, this is my go to PKR seeks casual afternoon life.

Heures, back to the Fewa Lake side, in the Park Restaurant sat for a while waiting for dinner. This restaurant is located by the Lake, so it should be regarded as a magic lake view, faces Fewa Lake sit down, have a cup of tea points, at a quiet lake, and paresthesia. Legends in PKR do not see the Moon, as a result we just looked at sunset, round bend yueya appears on the Hill. But everywhere the Ant and the mosquito is a bit of a letdown. Dinner time, move on to the Interior is the location of the stage, sat down to dinner, a 7 point has free Live show you can see, the show is a local ethnic dance, also saw Nepal's push-up (dance of a representation, it may be that the meaning of the expression types to it). Her husband that this kind of music made him dizzy, so there is no show ended, we left the restaurant.

10/3

Today there are no more arrangements, a sleep to noon, eat a few slices of bread, prepared their own bike to go to after leaving Tashi Ling, the Dam side direction all the way to rent a bike and is a motorcycle, vehicles have free parking in the road, look for one rental prices are on the point, although more expensive than the Raiders on (100RS/car), but do not want to bargain for a few dollars.

Long ride, or a bit is not used, adapted, slowly go to Tashi Ling ride. From there the day before the sitting Alto came back feeling is not very far, but a crossroads began no direction, all the way to ride all the way, always feel off-target and farther, but all are pointed to a direction, right when this is the correct way, because Nepal people the way standard really is terrible. When we stop four times at the map, and finally in front row 200m, saw a familiar place. Tashi Ling at the edge of the school is open games, simple playground and device, perhaps to them was very good, they are excited about the game, crying, and very inputs. Found yesterday sold Bowl to our Tibetan women, because she still rather nice, therefore continue in her here to buy some as back away. On leaving the Tashi Ling, games seem to have ended, the students have left. Cycling back to GH's road to become very long, perhaps the lack of exercise, but down Hill Road. Passing City River, saw a group of local children were playing with diving game, narrow river, the children were so directly from the bridge on the river jump down to see them happy, and suddenly cool a lot. Finally back to GH, but has also been sweating, but rare movement once feel is very good, right when the is a self-flagellation.

Campaign to find breakfast bread to sustain the afternoon half day, had to find a place to eat lunch, went to the LP on Mike ' s Restaurant, find this store is because from the LP, is located by the Lake, very close from the Fewa Lake, imagine sitting in the Lake of feel good, so cycling past, this place is near the North Shore area, and is in deep alley, in addition to living in who's inside GH, estimated quite few is making his own past.

The restaurant is open, green environment is super good, trees are a Crow. Originally this reputation good pastry is sold or not done, only one call what apple cake, forget the specific name,But the taste is delicious, very delicious. Husband of rice with beef, tomato taste very good. More interesting is that Boys will take down the plate aside, if the Crow saw, will fly down. We then saw a Raven flew down to FIAR being eaten in potato chips, just have a visitor with a only card to travel and see the raven flies down to shout it, very interesting. The dog's owner also said his favorite thing is to catch the bird.

Afternoon and continue to watch TV in GH sleep sleeping time too soon.

Dinner time we put the bikes also to leases, and found on the second day of the station, GL found not far from the GH, going to the second day of the walk to the station.

Previous day's Shanghai recommended us to lovers of Everest steak house Lakeside, price is very high, so we walk, is located on the second floor of the restaurant almost sitting are Chinese, or are people of Shanghai, it seems there is taste should comply with the requirements of the people of Shanghai.

In our sin again after we have recommended to the shop of Shanghai lovers, they continue to FB. The steak really like the legendary great pieces, weight or a foot, taste is also very good, worthy of recommendation. The husband said that the store proprietress is he to Nepal in the last few days the best English speaking people.

Eaten dinner walk slowly back to GH, but found that all the lights Dim, the faint's have a hunch the outage, and sure enough back to GH, lit candles, this is we to Nepal for the first time since the night of power is encountered.

Thankfully GH boss tells us just stopped for more than 10 minutes, it will not affect our finishing luggage. Husband had the roof to your daytime clothes out of clothes, only to find the least a T-shirt, it questioned the boss, he agreed with the electricity came after ask other tenants have picked the wrong. After a half hour and go on to ask her husband from a large Pack clothes inside to find their own it, it is said that because GH help guests laundry, take the wrong him this, looks like you have washed again. We wondered why it is drying out clothes washed again and again, but also no longer ask, found just fine.

Simple day has passed, the next day we were leaving PKR, gave us the impression that has not had the expected comfort, while all travels are ignored by those annoying mosquitoes and the ants, but life here is really a petty bourgeoisie of a State.

You can enjoy the extravagant and time, you may order a cup of tea in the afternoon sitting a trance, but not too much time to consider the factor that can make their living from the tension is released. For go Trekking, this may really be heaven, because they are in Trekking up too much, but if you do not go on foot, this feeling is not so true.
