2004-1-14 arrival Kathmandu

After approximately 1 hour late (it is said that this is normal, the aircraft), 3 pm aircraft took off from Pudong airport finally to Kathmandu (KATHMANDU), this trip takes approximately 5-6 hours.

Nile Air sister's appearance is not afraid to flattered, but still there are wearing dark-framed glasses looks like Aunt stewardess. However they are in possession of clothing or Sally, let us advance feel something exotic. There is also a male attendant, and then back to the Hong Kong aircraft also met with grace, I initially thought it was the captain. NI propulsion Shanghai Office Chief Representative, Mr. that is also on this flight, he knows a lot of people on board, to wear to not wear is busy or relaxed. Because our not long ago, and he talked about air things (Shanghai to Kathmandu flights aircraft very popular, booking is made not to), so he also knew us, although in the end we failed to get the program on 29 January.

We meet at the airport, anan couples together after the registration, the aircraft also seated together.

Unfortunately one of negligence, I and Pipi's seat was in the first row on each side of the aisle, I had to and two strangers sitting together. Then they two are Nepal, but also the brothers working in Tokyo (our plane is flying from Osaka), is the band members: Oh, no wonder that look very stylish look. I also cut down on the Internet against a nebo, Chinese pronunciation method with them to learn a few words, man, I didn't think were later. Also all the learning, Pipi Anan husband brought some online print down travel information, Pipi controlled his own collection, as well as colleagues lend our Kathmandu map for a final sprint. Sit in the first row of the aisle side benefit is that you can keep asking air hostesses to tea (NI propulsion aircraft provide many drinks, but tea is only a request to the stewardess and she will separate BREW), and can often seem to go to the bathroom, activities, activity, bones and not bother anyone.

When you arrive in Kathmandu is the local time at 7 o'clock at night, the sky is already completely black, not cold.

The airport is different from the domestic common silver tone, but the old deep brick red, airport Hall post inlaid with exquisite wood frame. But the airport service and management is not good, waiting for a long time before we get to the baggage, when leaving the airport and no one checked luggage. One out of the airport will have a lot of people up, taxi drivers, hotels to the airport, there are rushing to help you with the luggage. Because it's getting late, but does not appear to be from the urban areas at the airport, we decided to go with anan couple they make good online hotel Hotel Victoria. There is a little like (later discovered that most young people of Nepal is "epigenetic") help us's very active, start we thought he was sent by the hotel reception staff, some sorry, think of a few step road, several times asked him to come back to his back, he refused. Later the hooded feeling a bit wrong, say like the hotel sent, it really quickly before he asked us to tip.

Hotel Thamel in (Kathmandu a region inhabited by the foreigners) edge, but also in the quiet downtown.

Because we do not have a reservation, the hotel gave us a room on the second floor double room, very noisy (downstairs dog day late, chicken up early every day), and is two single bed, hot water aren't hot. We think reason things, go to the streets to buy some water and fruit, by the way, take a look at the Thamel at night. Back has 9 point, open the package, when he discovered in the airport take the wrong bag! this is a trademark, color, size, and even the weight and the hooded blue backpack very similar packages. We open the package to try to find some useful information, there are many Chinese cigarette, pencils, and a letter from the contents of the letter that the package is in graduate school in Nepal. In fact, our very stupid, because toss a long time to think about people not like us so confused or take the wrong package, we pack should still be in the airport. And innkeeper Raju discuss down, he agreed and we go to the airport and see, because the airport may also open. The way pray do not close the door to the airport in this small country, the airport does not appear to be someone in 24 hours. Fortunately, the airport also open at night, as if there is a group of 11 points to India. Even more luckily, airport staff to our hsuan, smiled, and we will soon see their package is lying on the ground. The original owner after the package is not angry complaints to the airport area, fill in a missing table, the airport is also a headache for it, now proffered, naturally very happy, so we quickly get their packages. This is a trip to Nepal's first bad thing.

2004-1-15 of Kathmandu tour

(Pipi records)

After an episode last night, today we slept till 8: 30 to get up because and Arun (a never before friends of Nepal) arranged by 9: 00 breakfast together.

Arun on time, he left the age of 40, with glasses, Sven and amiable. The way I brought 700 euros into the rupee, exchange rate is 91.90.

By Arun gone two or three blocks, we came to a hidden in alleys in the quiet little restaurant.

Warm sunlight floods restaurant open Garden, birds, able to sit here and eat a delicious breakfast, it is a pleasure. Breakfast is really good, even lunch can be free. Single I point that American breakfast with a steak, two eggs, bread, butter, jam and grilled potatoes, West point is a French breakfast with banana Mussi, Arun points out the most simple breakfast. Three people together is only 200 rupees.

We talk over dinner.

Arun in India reading University and later went to Finland read MBA, now famous, NepalIncluded The Rising Nepal's edit, wrote many reports about China. May be the reason for vocational, Arun not only learned and very warm, we asked him a lot about Nepal's problems, such as religious, political, demographic, etc. He is a man and a woman, two children, then have the opportunity to meet his wife, fluent in English, but quite a good temperament, and is a happy family. Arun is Buddhist disciples, he also wants us to have time to go to blue AUBIGNY (LUMBINI), is also the birthplace of Gautama, unfortunately, time is too tight, eventually we didn't.

And Arun farewell, we went to the Thamel southernmost TRIDEVI MARG (Nepal's road called *** MARG or *** TOLE, or simply to ** CHOWK named, on behalf of the surrounding area of about 100 metres) booked the next day to strange Mong (CHITWAN) by bus (SWISS BUS), RS. 225.

Stopover ROBIN ' S, an online quite famous ice cream shop tastes really good, the price can also, 60 rupees an ice cream ball, or at least cheap too Haagen-Dazs.

Heard of DURBAR SQUARE is very near from Thamel, we decided to walk.

But obviously we Kathmandu road are not yet familiar with, DURBUR SQUARE in KANTIPATH Southwest, we turned to the East, come a long long way. But on the way to buy a 2003 version of the LP, some illustrations and religion on very attractive, 1,300 rupees, I do not know whether or not effective. (Back to discover Hong Kong triple Bookstore sells $ 272, earn!) way to ask a lot of people, finally found the DURBAR SQUARE. This is the old city of Kathmandu, the street crowd crowded, a wide variety of small shops that sell a variety of daily use and small crafts, all the way to see all the way to shoot, and soon the DURBAR SQUARE's main entrance. Just one stop, there are several mendicant monk (SADHU) Wai up, long heard that give them taking pictures is to pay for it, so I didn't bother, but in the next SISERA shoot some video. We honestly bought tickets (found from the main gate away from around inside do not have to buy tickets), I feel the people on the square are many, but not clutter, experience the magnificent square layout and temples of ancient. Although there is a square may be local pop star or movie star in paiwaijing, MAJU DEVAL ladder was full of people, rather the onlookers. Took some beautiful pictures, we came to the square in front of the old palace on the Sun. Square edge is the goddess KUMARI CHOWK, live living temples. This temple some meaning, like China's courtyard, door and window and the corridor filled with exquisite woodcarving. The "Patio", a group of kids playing cricket, a local man told us that the living Goddess 4 pm will come out, but we didn't wait.

From DURBAR SQUARE out we went to the monkey Temple (SWAYAMBHUNATH), it is not very far away, or you can walk to, proved not so fit, from DURBAR SQUARE walk at least 45 minutes direct from Thamel to some may be near.

We crossed the DURBAR SQUARE behind the houses to the West came to VISHNUMATI RIVER River, may be the cause of the dry season, water, River full of garbage, COO. Cross the bridge and then along the Southwest walk about 30 minutes is the monkey Temple. On the road after Nepal Museum, just go tired, Sissy proposed in see, tickets 30 rupees one, can't take a camera, however the Sissy or secretly brought into the video recorder. Inside there are three pavilions, one is all times reflect Nepal Hinduism and Buddhism culture of stone carving, wood carving, bronze, silver, etc.; a Buddhist Center is very small, on a variety of Buddhist art; then natural Humanities building, many plant and animal specimens, coins, national art, etc. Content really many, worth a visit.

From museums to go out again, passing through the mountains a Tibetan Buddhist Lama Temple, near the road from time to time there are a few monkeys, monkey temple that is coming.

Monkey Temple is Nepal very famous Buddhist temples, then we have encountered a Nepal officials, on the ring road (RING ROAD) is very far to see the monkey Temple, he began to pray, devoutly visible monkey Temple in Nepal in the heart of Buddhism. We did not go to the East of the main stone staircase, but left after a mountain road, many local people take this road, many couples sitting on the hillside whisper. Although many monkeys here but not disturb passengers, East and West two hilltop Temple is located at some of their own, the famous Buddha eyes (BUDDHA EYE) is located on the eastern side of the temple that high on top of the Hill. Buddha eyes really is unique, it is no wonder that will become one of Nepal's logo. On the afternoon of the thick cloud-shrouded in Kathmandu over the city, days is not very bright, and we arrived is twilight, suddenly there is a golden sunlight from clouds in drilled, irradiation in the city of the Valley, was so beautiful.

Go to fetch from the monkey temple returned Thamel.

Bath, the evening had intended to ALICE restaurant, but careless in intricate signs were lost under the wrong into the side of a nobody noticed. Until the end of the found, Oh well, maybe these restaurants is very similar. Because the second days to cattle, so I went to bed early.

2004-12-16 to bokhara

In order to catch the fancy of the bus, we have 5 points more than set off to the station, is the same for the station and we live in a hotel of Lily and his wife, who today will go to bokhara (POKHARA).

We all had a tricycle, holding a large rucksack black as to reach the station, but was told that because drivers strike, to go to the peculiar Mong car today does not open. In fact, last night, the hotel has said that today there areYou might want to go on strike, we only when he's talking about, no seriously. I didn't expect to be true, but it is essentially impossible to seek compensation for prepaid fare of 450 rupees. Really too much! later something happened, came before have heard other friends in Nepal, just know this is a common occurrence, if you can be driving, it's called luck. The good news is that belong to the Swiss Travel company to go to the bus no bokhara closure, but also one or two seats, we do not want to waste time, to make the decision to divert to bokhara, of course, have to buy another ticket.

Car out of Kathmandu for about two hours later, at the roadside stop, a car in a big and pretty open-air Garden Hotel, Sunshine breakfast.

This place is designed for wayfarers passing vehicles, toilet not less but clean, hand-washing and SOAP, the breakfast food was already prepared. I have eaten and Pipi on in Thamel bought two flavors of ordinary bread, we went around Akira Akira, photos, do some stretching exercises. About half an hour later, drivers get press rang loud and humor of the Horn, we continue their way.

To tell the truth, go to the US-China Xinjiang, the scenery all the way to our structure not into attractive, so it wasn't long before I fell asleep.

Then wake up, wake up and fell asleep, and then wake up to eat lunch. Here and breakfast hotel style almost seems the way many designed for passing cars which the hotel (later discovered that this is also one of the characteristics of Nepal, go, have to worry about not find hotels to rice). For food and the morning room almost, vegetable Momo (a bit like fried dumplings, delicious), fried vegetable pies hamburgers (corners, I like), Western-style cake (looks not bad, but then eat once, not afraid to flattered), tea, coffee, etc., in the style of semi-finished products in the outermost point is hot now, quick and convenient. Of course you can also do now point kitchen rice food, Lily couples just point a Pizza, probably three or four hundred rupees, it is said that taste good. Eat, drink, stretch photos, and on the road.

About 3 point more to bokhara, off as usual, countless people took you, taxi drivers, hotels sent to guests, or you do not have a target just pull people of hotel staff.

Because it is a temporary decision to bokhara, combined with online to see some information, we followed the Lily couples went to their Hotel Blue Heaven. This hotel is still a little distance from the city centre, l, a way out from the car, although not feeling boccara and Kathmandu, but relatively clean, not so many people, there are a lot like those in the Thamel look chic and there is taste of small restaurants and small shops selling handicrafts. Our hotel looks very nice, 400 rupees for one night not too expensive, rooms big and clean, with balcony, TV set and Kingsize bed (these in our Kathmandu hotel are not), it is very near the Lake ha'afeva, balcony can glance.

Hotel offers hiking, rafting and other activities (Nepal tourist destination of most of the hotel are so), we talked about with his boss, he said we selected active content after he will help us to arrange a series of related services including vehicle pickup, Wizard and porters, attractions, activities, tea, dinner and stay charged by hotel unified canjia set.

This is also reflected the Nepal tourism one of the characteristics of mature, let visitors (especially tours for tourists) can easily participate in all activities, no need to worry about the logistics services. Course fees are low, 4 days hiking in two persons total US $ 168, rafting $ 19 per person (half day), peculiar Mong day two $ 50 a night per person, we collect a lot of the hotel, hotel profit commissions main sources is probably has this (together with the later we also discussed with the wizard, confirm that if the direct travel agents or wizard, charges should be lower).

Dinner in a restaurant near the Lake.

Here are the fresh Lake fish, it's not easy, and inexpensive! I point the Lassi with Fruit and Lemon Sauce with Grilled Fish, 160 rupees, very fresh fish, the taste is very good. Pipi point is the steak, as most visited Nepal in say, here's the beef, beef is the water is very old, nothing to eat. In honor of our waitress was very fond of and we chat, perhaps because his father is of Tibetan people. But he went only once, and the little Chinese will not. Later the waitress asked us to RMB said to see (but we didn't bring in the side), probably in disguise to a tip, because he said I've never seen what kind of currency, which is a bit hard to believe, after all, he went to China. Hurry up, the restaurant had lit a fire for us, but we still didn't leave a tip, I sometimes is very cheap.

Tomorrow is going to start hiking, supper, we put the package tidied, leaving unwanted things storage in the hotel, leaving a rucksack or not, so then put together something heavy weight to centralized in a rucksack, you can give the potters back, cameras, video recorders and lightweight things let some self-appointed strong Pipi back.

2004-1-17 on the first day in ¾ adaptation

5: 30 in the morning, we and Lily and his wife and two of the Wizard (and porters), sat for two hours, arrived at the Naya Pul, which began hiking trip.

Lily couples wizard called Gessie, 43 years old, our guide called Ram, 35-year-old, dark complexion, looks excellent, carrying our the incomparably odd heavy rucksack also walked briskly, English speaking well (an advertisement: Ram contact information is:).

Start of the road is fairly flat, mountains and fresh air, on the way met most of the mountain people are friendly and greet us (Namaste).

We walk along the River, the river water clarity, color and ever-changing, sometimes visibleBathing water buffalo and the shore is the name of beautiful birds. Around 9 o'clock, in a small home linhe and stopped to eat breakfast in hotel. I and Pipi point is Omelet (a little like running eggs), Pancake with Honey (a sweet thin bread), Plain Bread with Peanut Butter and, of course, tea with milk, the taste is very good, especially the Omelet. Out when the Hotel Blue Heaven's boss, the mountains no meat, vegetable and egg, facts are true (this is to go to the menu of some hotels also tend to only find eggs, no other hunxing, although we are seeing the way they keep their chickens, and sheep), but if after eating eggs can be burned to the taste, be content. Small hotel, very clean, excellent scenery, we surprised to here you can see two of the best Flash sparks of fishtail peak (Fishtail)! small hotel roof planted open flower vine, very juicy (later know mountains like this little hotel and scattered small tea house, and are identified in the English language, very pleasing foreigners like).

After breakfast we go three or four hours, to rest several times during the period, although the road is not too difficult to go, but people have felt very tired, could be the first day are not comfortable with it.

Mr. Phillip has Lily of 47 years old, some manual, all blue murder, said to be his wife cheated to this place. We think he is very interesting, because he walks slowly everyone jokingly asked him to Mr. Slow。 Noon, the wizard asks him hungry not hungry, he angrily said that tired old forget hungry everyone laughing. After the lunch, I and Pipi too hungry, point a lot of food, Muesli Banana (milk mixed with oatmeal and bananas), Rice Dal Veg. (typical of Nepal food, rice, curry potatoes, unsweetened biscuits with curry beans soup, Pipi that taste good), Egg Fried Rice Veg., there is a bowl of tomato soup. Really hungry, but also want to prepare the road this afternoon, I actually had all eaten! Gessie stealing picked two very cute little red tomatoes gave me and Lily, Pipi finally in this hotel as I took a real Cutie, HA HA. Gessie and Ram always acts as an entertainment before a meal (during the whole foot is so), they really used his fingers to eat! "and we are in the same restaurant meals were two Scottish youth, a man and a woman talking to know they have continuously traveled around the world for a year, just go to China Kunming and Lhasa, Nepal after the end of the tour will travel to India, and from there the final return to London. Asked to economic sources, said to be hit in Australia during the two months of day labourers, admiration we are, on their attitude to life, physical, and two months to earn the money ...

In the afternoon of the road is not very long, about two and a half hours, but mostly stone steps, more steep.

Think of it funny the way we have been in the evening old fantasy female chicken soup as a spiritual pillar while ceaselessly. In addition to encounter along the way has two Scots, but also from time to time, met the foreign tourists down the mountain, clever Lily infer from this that we must quickly arrive at the destination (in fact later know they go and we instead of a line). And those visitors beat greet, joking that the journey also seems to be easy. Halfway into a shop during the break, we buy more Ram recommended for stick after the mountain. Our 4 personal flowers 70 rupees bought two, in fact, the two branches of the paint coating. Walking to the skills that we all the way to control the speed, uniform, finally arrived at the finish line Ulleri. Mr. Slow also very powerful, although all the way to complain, but I still stick to the final.

Under the guidance of the wizard, we live in a small hotel of the Hill, the two Scottish people, it seems that tomorrow to and their peers.

Shops are generally, not particularly clean, bathroom with hot water is also insufficient. Although the drink in the evening to chicken soup for the mother, but Curry with chicken tastes really delicious, but unfortunately, mushroom soup, mushroom is not found, it is said that here no fresh mushrooms, mushroom powder can be used only to make soup. Omelet Veg taste slightly pale.

Probably because the bath water is too cold, after dinner they all cold extrusion warmed by the fire, but also our chat Wizard and the Scots.

Sky stars are bright, looming in the distance below the lights, while not yet see the magnificence of the snow, we have in this quiet and harmonious atmosphere found friends gathered together, its cheerful and happy feeling.

This accommodation is very poor, with a bar, a good rest, tomorrow is a hard day.

2003-1-18 foot second days ¾ easy!

Slept very well, was not that cold mountain (sleeping in sleeping bags, also stamped with two hotels of blankets and their big eye, far from cold, it is very hot!), it may be because the noise is too low, then heard a dog, Philip snoring next door, and there was a hotel owner home Pack voice, in short, your sleep will be false.

Breakfast and almost yesterday, Apple Pancake, Tibetan Bread with Jam (a fried bread), Tomato and Cheese Omelet Omelet, taste seems to be better than the somewhat less yesterday morning, but still not bad.

Pipi also eliminated a tuna fish canned food, breakfast after pushing to go farther. Morning weather good, Annapurna South clearly visible, we couldn't resist taking a few photos. In addition to hear today's road is good to go, with a happy mood on the road.

The Sun is very good, but soon we came across as any Sunshine Woods.

Road is a bit slippery, emptyAir purifiers, because the sun shines not so very cool, it does not feel very tired. This is not the way to the restaurants and the previous day on the road a lot, and so on through the forest reaches lunch restaurant "Hungry Eye Restaurant," we already have an hour did not see the housing, so the restaurant's name really got bad. While waiting for dinner, we are comfortably lying on a bench in the Sun, only Ram and ask him to Philip of items, from glass to a mobile phone, seemed to want to know the "greedy" or a "thick" to describe him. Lunch is similar to that of the food and yesterday, tomato soup Curry with chicken, Milk Chocolate Pudding and ordered. Chicken cooked in General, but Pudding is very good, feeling a bit like Hong Kong's Chinese desserts. A greedy kitten has drifted around us, Pipi fed it countless chicken bones, which were all swallow not said, also kept the PiPi Pipi to, smell to Ram and Gessie eat canned fish, this guy has some time to jump on our table! anger Ram and Philip grabbed its neck to throw down the table.

Long Philip today is not Mr.

Slow, very good, leaning on a stick ran all the way, like the Monkey King, we almost called him to Mr. Strong. Afternoon road is long, neither the Sun, or even feel cold. Quickly to the accommodation, but also begins to snow, and the larger, faster and accommodation in a blue little hotel with a beautiful composition of "little Switzerland" Ristorante.

We live in an altitude of about 2,870 m of Poon Hill GHORAPANI View Guest House, accommodation conditions compared to yesterday as "excellent".

Room spacious, Kingsize bed, bathroom with hot water can also be considered, it is best to have a very warm Dinging Room, excellent scenery. Bath we all went there, drying clothes (all people), warm feet (Lily), sleeping (Philip), photograph (Pipi), write travels (I), two Scots (don't know why, we always select the same restaurant and hotel) read magazines and chess, feels happy!

7 p.m. for dinner, I point the Oma Rice, turned out to be a kind and a chicken, tomato, fried rice with basket of Hu, tastes very good.

The evening also comes a new tenants, that John, one might have over sixty feet long, the United Kingdom man and several peer of the CityGuide said good in Top Hill Guest House to meet, however, did not find the CityGuide, switched Poon Hill View Guest House. The United Kingdom of Nepal during the seniors, prepare to stay for two months. He had a child, in China learn acupuncture. Very nice John, spirited, estimated in Nepal trekking has for some time, he said that have already been to Poon Hill, but then maybe not, did you see the sunrise. I do not know how our tomorrow's luck ...

Lily evening is a bit uncomfortable, dizziness and nausea, didn't eat for dinner, it is not clear is cold or herself everyone of altitude, are worried.

In the Philip's attention since she drank a lot of water, and eat a piece of "100 suits Ning" night, sleep. I think she should be tired, rest for a night will be all right. Night sky full of stars, thousands, Seger head, never seen so many so bright stars, too exciting, tomorrow will be a good day.

2003-1-19 on the third day Bairns ¾ hard +

5 o'clock in the morning, 6 o'clock, anxious about 45 minutes, extremely hard to climb the Poon Hill (3,210).

Poon Hill mountain scenery is really striking, starting from the left hand (6,997), Fishtail Hiunchuli (6,441), Annapurna South (7,273), Fang (7,647), Annapurna I (8,091) ... Is just before eyes. Shortly after the mountains, the sun rising slowly from the Orient, Golden red sunlight scattered snow peak, the exception. We at the top of the Hill Lookout and met the two Scots, took a lot of beautiful scenery, but also left many photo.

On the way back to the shelter, take turns back up my Ram, Lily and Pipi (this guy has 140 pounds weight?) to run the manual.

The road to see from a bokhara and Jomsom aircraft between, quite spectacular, we decided to go back to Kathmandu after must try Mountain Flight. Breakfast Milk Tea, Veg. Omelet, Tuna Sandwich and Pancake with Honey (this is very good, sweet and soft). After breakfast, we and two Scots this split, they will spend 6 days to Jomsom, and from there by plane to leave.

Return need to climb a mountain, there are also many meters, than 3,000 Poon Hill is also high, is full of snow.

Peer who has added a pair of Australia young couples and several Korea. Ascent of about 45 minutes later we started down the Hill, which is the most dangerous of the wizard. There was snow and ice, very smooth, very easy, the steep road, walk in the fall we Australia and Korea are also often wrestling. Our two wizard very soul and got some walkers Gessie, so that our staff a, Ram in particularly dangerous road sections are one pick-up helped, in spite of this, I'll slam three falls, Philip also fell. This road is about to go more than three hours and finally came to an end. After a 12 point, Sun also as General and indent the other day the clouds.

At noon we as usual and point out the most expensive meal (which we compare happiness, because later hear anan said their way implied they point the wizard cheap food, make him earn more money), this time called the Special Food, there is Rice Dal Veg., several of our late to Korea people look at Big-eyed, shouting at the same food.

Because today's scheduled tasks is very heavy, so since yesterday to discuss it in the wizard to do not put today's itinerary decomposition until tomorrow or the whole stroke extended up to 5 days, we are worried that this change will make the condition worse.

Philip today said that he didn't sleep well last night, morning runs, no effort, but the distance was so difficult, so the anger is not small. And to ask if you want to Ram as planned ahead, Philip must speed up, or we may need to drive at night, Philip anger from the heart, called two sentences, but at the same time they stimulate his huge potential here! in order not to be accused of black sheep, he walked the team speed front we behind work their way, and finally in the six destination before dark Ghandruk, and also lucky enough to see the Fishtail and Annapurna South sunset scenery. But at this point we have a bit of effort.

The evening's Trekker ' s Inn is a big hotel, very pretty, we accidentally met anan couples.

Unfortunately, because it is solar heating, so we will have no hot bath can be washed, and I have to use the pan with oil's kitchen hot water to clean the brushes, bubble feet (too tired feet also played blisters). Ram because it runs in the morning, so we ask for some proprietary antidiarrheal, effect is good, he later ask for some home. Today it is dinner Egg Soup (very common), Mixed Fried Rice (with vegetables, egg and tomato sauce and fried rice, taste good) and Mixed Fried Spaghetti (Italy, vegetables, tomato sauce and cheese wire), I also greedy place a chocolate pudding, but is too sweet.

Finally concluded that the most difficult, is harvest up to day, as soon as I go to bed and fell asleep.

2003-1-20 of walking on the fourth day ¾ victory

This day is overcast, only the morning saw slight mapping with Fishtail on a sunset.

Breakfast is delicious Tuna Sandwich and in General, eat Omelet. And anan couples photo after we said goodbye to set foot on the last segment of the journey on foot. Although the wizard says today's road is long (about 4 hours), and good to go, not the road is downhill, but since yesterday is already exhausted feet aching hair soft, so let's go uphill. We have been on the road and a team of Korea (about 10 or 20 people) interlaced. Lily because the shoe didn't fasten, unfortunately, sprained, supported by the Ram after a slow walk. One way to see most is the terrace, there is no irrigation, the yellow one, far and let's the magnificence of Guilin, Longsheng terrace.

At noon, we finally saw the first day to breakfast, small hotels! is back, we are all very excited.

Lunch is at Moonlight Restaurant & Guest House, we point out Lemon Tea (good to drink, sugar better), Banana Lassi (each time will point, delicious + help drain + added Prebiotics), Mixed Fried Rice and Fried Noodles, all good.

In the afternoon we walk only half an hour to predetermined locations on the back to bokhara local bus.

Everything went fairly smoothly, and just be "day exotic Gessie stone" (it was repaired House throw a stone down from the roof) messed up, fortunately didn't hit the header, just hit from shoulder slipped to the feet, is picked a life. There are many soldiers soon to check traffic, good at all for foreign tourists.

4 p.m. more finally went back to the Hotel Blue Heaven, now this is the place where we can really call heaven, clean brick house, Kingsize bed, hot water ...

We put the foot wearing dirty couldn't be dirty clothes to the laundry, very cheap, generic jacket 30 rupees, pants, shirt 15 … 25 , But unfortunately no dryer, plus a second day, l no sun, so we leave clothes are still not dry. With regard to the wizard's tips, and discuss it down, Lily couples decide each to Ram 600 rupees, because he had relatively hard, back of the Pack again, each to Gessie 400 rupees.

At the invitation of the evening, we Gessie and Lily couples come to his home and drove away from the Hotel Blue Heaven only 1 minutes of small restaurant.

His family has a mother, a sister, his wife (the end is the city that looks young and beautiful, but English is also very good) and three sons. Today is the Chinese lunar calendar small certainly includes, at the request of the Lily, they specifically according to the Chinese cook a pot of chicken soup for the true mother, hot pot roasted vegetables, a braised fish and a pot of rice paper. We all eat well satisfied. Ram also tend to follow the Earth prepared a pot of hot water-Lily feet. But he's asking price is really troubling, this meal was to our 1,500 rupees!

Night in the House opposite the hooded Internet surfing, 2 rupees for one minute, the total spent 49 rupees, compared to Kathmandu 1 rupees per minute, it's not cheap.

2003-1-21 of journey shopping

Today is the Chinese new year, we decided to have a good rest day.

Morning till 9 o'clock before getting up, Ram 10 points already in our downstairs, press yesterday agreed to let us helpHe wrote the Guide reviews, and he took it that the efficacy of outstanding laxative gave him. Then take to the streets looking for breakfast, we came to a house full of beautiful flowers, the hotel is near to it on the costs of the top hotels in Siwa. Although today's Sun, the scenery is so touching, but still you can feel the tranquility of Lake WA costs. Lake waves not Hing, there is a boat in wandering the nearby small lawn pass lay two small dogs and enjoying a few bird. Large group of Crow perched branch, it may be a sign of rain. Unfortunately, although the scenery, food was very little in common, the variety and taste. The boss was very warm, he kept the Let's help him in China to do publicity, it appears that the hotel business. After dinner the hooded "flirt" episode, in the hotel garden on all kinds of flowers took numerous photos.

Out of the hotel, we took to the streets to stroll, purchasing some crafts (we didn't compare too, but listen to anan said it is cheaper than Kathmandu).

First in a family of selling carpets, leather shop, we saw a lot of things, silk, wood, all kinds of leather handbags and shawl ... But because the prices fail to reach an agreement, or the left. Road accident on the third day came across a couple of Australia, then raise each day seems to have suffered down into a happy talking. In several of the stationery shop, we bought some hand-made paper made of calendar, notebook, and cards, not expensive, but beautiful and chic. Lunch in a Restaurant called Tea Time to eat in the hotel, I quite well this hotel impressions, one is the environment layout did well there is taste (including bathroom), the second is the afternoon started there are movies, the most important thing is the food capacity and taste very good prices, we point out Plain Curd (yogurt, sugar is very delicious), Roasted Chicken and Chips with Veg., Lemon Grilled Fish with Veg. and Chips and Lemon Tea. In addition waiter/waitress service is in place.

Afternoon and morning first store similar carpet shop, we couldn't buy a 6 block true silk cushion and wool woven mats, or at least spent half an hour before the price from 2,400 rupee also to 1,700 rupees, so after special happy, shopkeepers also promised by our demands in woven mat sewing with tie-back.

Then bought some small jewelry, came out a little rain already, we quickly by drilling a looks nice and close to the hotel costs Siwa, ready for our new year dinner. The shop has two Westerners are playing billiard, hanging on the wall poster of two tickets to Amsterdam, look here like a Netherlands opened Club. We chose a location near the stove and sat down, in particular point the Chinese flavor marinated chicken with rice and stir fried rice with pork loin (haven't eaten pork), although it has been changed, but we still.

At the end of the dinner was 8: 45 because that 9 o'clock will call home, so we began a hurry to get to the hotel, also not forget that morning that carpet shop to do it again to lower the price we thing back, this day is quite abundant harvest.

Hotel on the edge of a fruit stalls, where I have bought several banana and papaya, banana into RMB 3 cents a piece, large papaya is a 3-element, can be much cheaper than domestic.

2004-1-22 rafting

Today got up early, first sit hotel car to bokhara station, sitting on a bus going to fancy Mong of bus, will soon be told the car booked, we have to change to a later open Sunny Travel on the bus.

The car stopped, as usual at halfway on our breakfast, we spent 50 rupees bought block looks OK but the taste is very bad Cheese Cake, a lick.

The original listening, as long as two hours of road 4, 5 hours, 1 p.m. to drift of origin, there are two Spain girl will and we sat on the same playing SAX boats.

We put on sandals and rain pants, and put on a coat and saved as waterproof clothes, with plastic cap, like two heavily armed "my" little pigs. Follow the leader of Nepal man aboard the ship, he is 24 years old, had a Plait, wearing a diving suit, also with two pressure vessels of child (which is to assist rowing team and we together). Although this time the river rafting before three levels of difficulty, but the team leader or spent 5 minutes has taught us some basic password and action. Along the way, sometimes calm, sometimes flowed, the crest to put our whole pouring wet, but on the whole be booked. In the middle of the lunch is and we carry cameras and other important items together in a sealed barrel tied boat brought about by, apples, bananas, boiled eggs, fruit juice and the two can be described as difficult to eat bread.

And to end all shore drift, our backpack has sent by other vehicles.

Change, team leader transfer us to the side of the Road stopped a "Tata" truck (TATA, the most common car brand), in the rugged Rocky Mountain continuously for more than 3 hours, then through a vast woods to BHARATPUR, took half an hour, at 6: 30 arrive at dark to strange Mong Safari crossing. And so we worked to find Hotel Park Side of shuttle cars arrived at the hotel, is 7 p.m. fizzes.

Evening Disco dance music of the last in the end, when the sound has been fast 12 points.

2001-1-23 Safari

Yesterday we all slept late this morning original 6 points of the Morning Call (actually is to knock on your door with you say aloud Good morning) till 6: 30.

Breakfast is very simple, tea with milk, Banana Lassi (single points), fried eggs and toast, then have a Jeep vehicle us chase the hotel door pick up our elephants.

Elephant back wooden son already sitting on the same small husband and wife from Shanghai, they forward, we face, we looked at the elephant's butt, this unlucky because elephants are often very bad fart.

More unlucky today it rains, it is said that this strange Mong before hadn't rained every day is sunny, or see the real rain forest. Walking in the dense jungle, as long as you can see animals, wet leaves play or even on the body. Fortunately, he soon saw a giant Rhinoceros in the Woods and piss, our "like husband" (for borrowing "groom" said) command elephant constantly close to, rhino is probably not afraid of the elephant, close up, it slowly walk away. After seeing several deer, male, female, major, minor, and most beautiful male deer, Fawn and timidity, and compared, came all the way to hear the sound on the run. Tree perched male Peacock, faintly visible beautiful long tail. There are 4 monkeys sit in one of the branches. Period as the husband had tried to follow Tiger footprints take us to find Tiger, last or not found, it will probably be just very lucky people will be able to see the Tigers. Like the back end of the line in our Royal Chitwan National Park in the door and saw several team tours was about to start riding on the elephant back, all the Chinese people, including Taiwan. Ready to start the elephant are together and formed a team, soft and lovely.

Lunch is back to the Hotel Park Side eating garlic soup, tomato sauce, cheese and fried Italy face and single point of two Lassi Fruit (until the final checkout before being told all the time and point of Lassi and before the Cola were not within the scope of the activities package meal is to add money), the flavor is also good.

Because still raining in the afternoon, we had to walk through the jungle of the original temporary change to the jungle Jeep, but each person has to make this more than 500 rupees. We sit in the kayak ferry to the small River National Park-Western ride. To tell the truth, rainy day sitting in all convertible (including cabs), Jeep, it was not so good. But while driving can quickly into national parks, but the car is relatively large road, we are the third car, so I don't see what animal. Usually the first or second car to see animals on the Wizard (the wizard are standing at the rear eyes around searching for animals) called the car, we also followed the cars stopped, the whole car people rose to see animals (except the stranger in the morning, also see roadside 3 boar), when that for most jungle animals, we can only be used in the car far to see their shadows. Midway car is broken, even a small slope on the tourists all down trolley, or not, so we are wizards to walk to a crocodile Hall, visitors were cultured in a cage of crocodile, of course, everyone entering the Pavilion also have additional 15 rupees. The bus is the rope drag uphill Runnin', we drove back, large cold rain, this time we only want to hurry home, no matter what animals can be seen.

6: 15 to return to the hotel, can eat a hot meal dish really thank goodness.

Unfortunately for dinner is grilled vegetables and potatoes egg pasta, carnivorous Pipi or feel a bit bad mood. Originally a national cultural performances in the evening, the hotel takes about 10 minutes and 7 point, we feel very tired, it's raining again trouble, of course, the hotel is also happy to cancel. This feeling is not very good, tianbuzuomei, although each staff could hang with all one's heart, but hardware and organizational capacity is relatively poor. The only good thing is you can go to bed early.

2004-1-24 ¾ bus for the night ahead!

6 o'clock in the morning when no rain, although the ground still wet.

Breakfast met three last night just to Chinese girl, Beijing and Tibet. Breakfast and as simple as yesterday, but even the Lassi has gone, and they have a chat or a lot of fun. Beijing as large as the girls and I complained to, there is no direct Nepal plane (later we hear the Ambassador of China in Nepal, Kathmandu's course in Beijing to be inaugurated in March 2004), she had come from the Bangkok transit, not costs (air ticket itself plus one night in Bangkok airport odd expensive accommodation), and wasting time. Tibet's girl is a first-come-first-by car from Lhasa, Shigatse, camphor, finally arrived in Kathmandu by car, it normally takes 2 to 3 days. Road is very dangerous, but estimated journey landscape is certainly good.

After dinner we followed another Wizard (in fact, is the hotel's front desk), go to bird watching.

Nepal total 800 species of birds, about 500 species of exotic Mong. Morning mist is very big, but we're very lucky to see a lot of beautiful and rare birds, Blue kingfisher, Little Egret, ring, Pigeons… There are 4 females and 1 male Peacock. Especially on the way back into a is said to be lost small Rhinoceros, the villagers take care of, not aggressive. So how can the chance of a lifetime! Pipi quickly shot missed several pieces of fish, I not only the rhinoceros and it has shadow, also felt Rhino skin, and look the same hard like armor. 1 hour will soon end, we return to the Hotel Park Side, although the rain the larger, faster with terrible Thunder, as originally planned, prepared by the hotel's car, going to India's United States female biologists together to the station, take the following Travel Ltd. Saibaba's coach back to Kathmandu.

Because a couple of days of rain, the already very good road now more difficult to walk, bus or a few steps to start a traffic jam, stops, often stop than going much longer, it is said that this is Nepal's famous "Super traffic jam".

Parking time everyone would get spread rumours, the car had no hurry to get to know anyway, car and stopped a few metres, it is better for walking. It's quick, no time, I simply started writing travels. The car has three Shanghai girl, is ready to take the flight tonight 12 points to go home, but the driver said such traffic at least 2 am to get to Kathmandu.

After a giant wall after car was fast running a dozen kilometers, but unfortunately he didn't last long, as everyone to breathe, and start plugging away, and this situation worse, according to the driver from the front nose back to the front of the message, 15 kilometres from landslides, resulting in the collapse, the car is definitely the night away, this time is Nepal time 19: 00.

No way, the car had to return to a small town near (Mugling Village), always eat, before to get somewhere, we even didn't get to eat lunch, buy some cookies only in the street. More bad news is that because of the Maoist bomb cart activity, Ming, acquired likely closed all the way to Kathmandu. Car apart from a few locals, six Western tourists and seven Chinese tourists, besides I and Pipi and the three Shanghai girl, a Shenzhen and a girl of Chongqing. All visitors are advocates to pay some money to drive to l, after all, big city information smoother, and has gone to Kathmandu. But our driver and truck-translation discussion for a long time, and they just kept himself didn't really give a decision, it looks like the driver is certainly not want tonight.

Considered to have many vehicles to fold back into the town, and this certainly hold so much, we decided in the car will be a night.

Take the road to buy point of oranges, water and pancake toast (unexpectedly delicious, but each has two eggs, only 20 rupees), we omit all wash work out to possession of a sleeping bag, sitting in the car and went to sleep. So one can imagine that the quality of sleep in the middle of the night there is a car to cars to the noise, leg and stretched straight, about to midnight drifting to sleep for a while.

Nepal's infrastructure is too rotten!

2004-1-25Patan

(Pipi records)

One night I didn't sleep very well, morning 6 o'clock in the morning, we start up, this time the driver seemed to still do not have to decide whether to go on the road to Kathmandu, we are very worried today to make a stop on the road.

Call to Arun yesterday, he said that the landslide night should be able to repair, but he did not hear the strike. Furthermore we have seen some from Kathmandu from the car through Mugling, cars off to Kathmandu. Then decide on your own, try to ride to a suitable car to Kathmandu.

Washed his face, I began to inquire separately and Sissy.

Passing a white Jeep, Sissy said this car looks good, so I went to ask the driver if you can ride, and expressed its willingness to pay the fare. The driver is a young man, tell me they do is go to Kathmandu, said the car only passengers 3 personal, also asked where I came from. He hesitated a moment, saying "sorry, this is the official car (Water Treatment Bureau of Nepal), does not carry passengers". His attitude, I think I still have hopes of finding the Sissy to together and try again, we said that time is tight, also a lie description will fly away day, asking him for help, drivers finally we talk, and promised to ask his leadership. His leadership is opposite the small restaurant breakfast, next to a girl (later know is Water treatment bureau of Nepal's staff), the driver to his request for a moment, leadership and again we are not a Chinese person, why do you want to ride, and so on, consider a final agreement. We are pleased that immediately back to the bus to go to the baggage.

Car fast of a paragraph, front began to jam, it seems that yesterday stopped car had basically no how.

Happened to be preceded by an ambulance, all cars have given way to it, we have the opportunity to follow hyper-a lot of cars. But the road blocking much too much, our car is slightly larger, and finally in a Department failed to keep pace with an ambulance. In this way, the car stops, roadside everywhere left stranded passengers, a mess. Fortunately, we sat in a car that can overtake from time to time. 10 points more car finally passed the landslides, 12 o'clock we arrive from Kathmandu, near a small town for lunch, potato cake, Curried Lentil Soup and vegetables, fried local fish, anxiety 12 hours after finally eat a full meal.

After lunch continue to hit the road.

In fast to Kathmandu, we see the side of a truck bombing, estimation of the Maoist stem (later heard that Maoist previously issued news that all 24 January to Kathmandu to closure of the road, but still have a car through the day, so they will attack one of a local car and a truck transporting drugs cardCar). So the way checks are very strict, in Nepal, roadside checks are common, general inspection vehicles when needed, but tourists separation is barrier-free.

Before you get to Kathmandu to crossing a mountain, view from the mountain to the North of the snowy mountain is clearly visible, Patan and Bhaktapur later on also the snow can be seen.

After entering the city, we went back to Kathmandu while thankful, and to feel uncomfortable and dirty here until later went to the Patan, Bhaktapur Squares and Radisson Hotel Kathmandu is the exclamation have simple and original clean place, which is why Arun suggested that we should at least live on in Kathmandu a week or two, before the city has a more complete understanding.

The Hotel Victoria has more than 2 pm (later caught last night on the same vehicle buses and Shenzhen, Chengdu girl know their last night 6 points to Kathmandu.

Local paper this morning on Highway 24, because landslides off the traffic jam, until the next morning before the opening of the succession. Nepal's roads are cycling road, it is difficult to overtake, and a traffic jam, shut up, it seems that local traffic conditions or very poor). Good washing a hot bath, and a second day of Mountain Flight, Sissy said she was too tired to die, so I went to the Patan.

Patan square, downtown than Kathmandu DURBAR SQUARE clean and orderly, probably because it is Sunday, the square there are tourists, many of the locals.

When is the evening, the mild sun shines on the square, the feeling is very good, this is Nepal's quiet and rustic. Patan trip although only half a day, still makes me happy.

Arun invited to the evening should be one of his friends of Nepal Korea Korea restaurant, where dishes are authentic, the boss is a Sherpa, he can speak Korean, behave like Korea, we also think that he is Korea?

This is very interesting, ask him why than we also put a lot, he said that his mother told him "No clothes, no cold; More clothes, more cold", in order to prove his love from the snowy peaks, snowy mountains, he would have to be cooled more clothes, hear us dumbfounded. Arun also tells us that the Sherpa people engaged, remaining engaged in some and mountaineering-related occupations, such as porters, Wizard, etc. Very enjoyable and a dinner, but unfortunately did not leave a photo.

2004-1-26 Kathmandu tour ¾ end-to-echo

In order to aspire to long Mountain Flight, we set off at 6 points to the airport.

See the sky without the fog, the airport, 7: 30 in front of a class when we should have 7 points off of the air yet, our class is 8 points, nature also have to wait a long time. After much deliberation, we decided to take the time to go to, is said to be from the airport is very close to the Pashupathinath Temple around. Nepal's time and distance concept really disagree, because before, many times over, so this time we do not dare to believe in what they call the airport to Pashupathinath Temple in just 5 minutes walk, we decided to hit the car. Facts prove that our fears are unfounded, the taxi had 10 minutes on foot to Pashupathinath Temple.

Here's the toilet should have to pay, even though only 2 rupees one, but feeling not balanced, because Kathmandu DURBAR SQUARE of tourists are not charging the toilet, but also a clean than here.

Because little is known about the Hindu, we invited the door a bit Ian local guide as we explain. Pashupathinath Temple Hindu temples, is the most important God Shiva (the creator and destroyer, which dominate the God of life and death. Two other important God Vishnu is the preserver and Braham,, Temple of the creator), the most characteristic is that here is a Hindu devotees cremated after death. After the death of all believers are family carried to the temples of the Bagmati River in the West Bank, cremation, dead man's clothes and cremation ashes after being cast into the River, and finally flows into the Ganges. The eastern shore of the Bagmati is people mourning mourn late ancestors and relatives. Pashupathinath Temple has many small Buddhist pagodas, mostly for the life and death by God Shiva, and some of The statue of King of Monkey. It is in fog, at Ascend, stupa surrounded by stone carving of the whole super ° undead Pashupathinath Temple cigarettes wreaths, filled with a slice of sadness. We also came across some India an ascetic, is the so-called India yiren, seeing we fengyongershang, to let us take pictures, of course, is to pay for it. To tell the truth, here seen these people feel some funny, or is out of tune.

Back to the airport at the time of 10: 30, yet the plane took off, many people in the Hall, it looks like there are several flights were delayed.

We directly go to ask the staff or to take-off at the 7-point of the first flight, or cancel, the afternoon's itinerary is too late. Asked to result is suggesting that we abolish, somewhat disappointed, after all I'm looking forward for a long time, but also better than waiting for better time here.

Pipi quickly recover from a ticket agent there, we suddenly became very "rich", exactly, this afternoon's task is consumption: shopping and eating.

Pocket drum up feeling is not the same, always save thePipi was in one of the best selling fabric shop buy 4 pieces of valuable items, one of the most expensive one should, or should we have previously bought a large silk carpet! take Pipi spreeto now, I also wanted to buy a Chinese long string puppets and some jewelry, then came to the hooded get Helena Bar & Restaurant for dinner. This is a large dining room, 4, 5, and the decorative arts East, we went straight to the top floor in the Sun. Long heard that here the amount of stuff cheap and more, this time it is imparted, we accidentally spent 605 rupee point enough 4 personal eat! full a big bowl of Lassi with Fruit, there are other hotels of two times, other meals (Cheese Pizza, Chicken Dish) is very large, and of course taste is very good. This is the first time no Pipi to point things all finished just out the door, I knew would not point so much, and two individuals spend 300 rupees enough to eat. Holding inflatable bulging stomach, we began to look for and last will buy from: Sally. Sally is Nepal's national costume, of course, is India, Pakistan and South Asian countries territory. But looking for a long time, it seems no selling Thamel, we call the tricycle ran to the city centre a department specializes in Sally's place, buy a red Sally. The trouble is that Sally is really just a piece of about 6 meters long, 1.5 meters wide, rectangular cloth, to put it in the body is more complicated, but there are many wear method, I let the salesman Mr. taught twice himself and tried it again, hoping to get back to at least do not forget this kind of wearing law.

Afternoon we went to Bhaktapur, the legendary absolutely worth a visit of the old town of Nepal.

Because I didn't go to the Patan yesterday, so only get it with Kathmandu DURBAR SQUARE, really is a beautiful, clean, quiet and relaxing place, ya we spent 250 rupees fare (return more use up 350 rupees!) and had a 45-minute vehicle exhaust to be here. Afternoon sunlight is too strong, not suitable for video, so we first in an open-air cafés to drink coffee in the moment, by the way, take a look around the building. Heard of Bhaktapur is famous with wood carving, so we went around the Cafe downstairs a woodcarving shop, it really has a lot of good things, but the price is too high, and that those who are on eight, nine thousand rupees or even more, hesitated a half day or not to buy. Sunset, Bhaktapur really very beautiful, light red Sun optimally Sala in each building, bring out the unique charm of the old town. We shot video, photos, excited to have full time 1 hour until sunset generally faded out before now abandoned. Get off, think or reluctant to Chinese and wood before, back and ask a price lower, but still failed to psychological price, had to leave. However, as already said, today we have money, Pipi special generous, so we went for the third time to return to the shop, the last killed a RS-price, to allow this seems 4,500 boss is a bit not price moved back to the God of the mountain carving.

Arun gave tonight we arranged for a special program, go to the Radisson Hotel in Australia's National Day reception.

Participating were officials reportedly of celebrities (for example, we saw Nepal Prime Minister is, of course, the we know by Arun introduction), in fact, apart from Arun, none of us know. Finally I met Ambassador of China in Nepal (of course also been introduced), although he only in 1976 that once in Shanghai, but I still have the feeling of fellow townsmen, Koreans are comfortable! in addition to this, the best thing here is to have free food and drink, but because the early tomorrow morning to catch a plane, so had to go back early, must find a way to put today's a lot to buy stuff into a bag.

2004-1-27 home!

(Pipi records)

Today is going to go, it's somewhat reluctant, even though this way a lot of trouble, but when I left, I remember only the Sun and relaxing Nepal living, there is a way to get acquainted with the friends from all sides.

If you can then enjoy a few days, it would be wonderful.

6 point more to the airport, the days haven't fully lit, and just like yesterday, the fog really worried today and be late.

In the Terminal we met that day together was trapped in the bus on the three Shanghai girl and a Shenzhen girl. Three Shanghai girls because that day I missed the plane back to Shanghai, so again today to Hong Kong. Shenzhen girl boarding time has been advised of the ticket because there was no prior to NI propulsion of Kathmandu Office confirm return seat, air ticket has been canceled! good at last you can add 75 dollars litres tanks, she finally or to be home.

We at the airport the extra rupees into the US (1: 74), the loss of many.

Do a check-in, departure, security check (this is needed for both men and women separate, I almost and Sissy together at a girls '), in the airport and waited for more than two hours, the plane has taken off.

Kathmandu and again overlooking the wish from the air saw the magnificent Himalayas, sprawing snow until 15 minutes before completely disappear from sight. Somehow, the Holy magnificent snow-capped mountain has always been my dream, I want to leave her closer and closer to ... Goodbye, Nepal, I do not know when to come back again.

(Do not plug a sissy who emphasise words: it is highly recommended that aircraft curry rice with lamb! we are because no sitting at the back of selected, to eat the Lamb meal and found that not much mutton, fresh scent delicate, punctuality.

）

Four hours later, we saw the sea, Hong Kong.

Tour butylparaben and some minor suggestions:

1. tickets to a son, continent apart from Shanghai twice per week to Kathmandu aircraft, other cities have no direct flight routes (go Thailand go, long), so either walk from Shanghai or Hong Kong (direct flight fares are relatively low and save

Time) or from Beijing travel in Bangkok transit flights (04 may in Beijing in March, after the opening of the direct route of Kathmandu), furthermore from Tibet camphor away road. In short routes, season ticket was tensions, almost a month ahead of even two months intended to ensure that the seat, discounted tickets are not likely to get. In addition, if the clause is a round-trip ticket, to Nepal after remember to hold tickets to go to the airline to confirm return seat, or is likely to be cancelled, because the people on the waiting list is too much.

2. Nepal tourist cities everywhere currency exchange counter, you can use a variety of free currency and Renminbi converted into rupees, the counter exchange rate slightly different, in exchange for cash than before.

Generally speaking, compared to the US dollar and the euro exchange rate of RMB cheaper for some, it is recommended that the domestic first change some euros, and because the par, so it is easy to carry.

3. the aircraft ready perfumed body lotion, skin very dry long journey.

4. waterproof windbreaker in tropical jungle tour on foot and is useful for, you can easily deal with rain, snow and branches of the tree leaves dew or rain.

5. what recommendations on foot, with sleeping bags, and more clean chilly mountains, the hotel may not be enough to blanket.

Tents can be without.

6. stick is a necessity on foot (unless you follow the wizard as much), which goes down through the snow, the road is very difficult to leave.

Because of this, it is best to use waterproof shoes hard bottom gaobang, huhuai, BC-owned hotels, travel agencies or to borrow spikes (also have a nail claw, set in shoes), easy to walk in the snow.

7. bring good headlight, a mountain on the frequent power outages, two in the morning to see the sunrise or night out alone at night are used, three emergency situations (such as on a bus for the night) is also useful.

8. sunglasses, sunscreen, Sun protection is necessary, such as lip, snow-capped mountain ranges (also in drifting) of UV rays are very powerful.

9. many of Nepal's children (in fact, some people are not small, at least to the proposed budget youth) are used to see tourists for money, and even music this is Peter (such as a tip, candy, travel articles, and even I also met in the store to buy chips, a salesperson can I just buy a package gave him).

So if your heart is good, then more keep some change and sweets, but also remind you that gave a, optionally Wai up a large group.

10. If the rookie-level photography player but also on the photo quality is required, then at least the bring you can reduce the exposure value of polarization microscope, to shoot in the snowy mountains photo color more vivid.

(As for other, more specialized device that should follow the guidance of professionals)

11. hotels it is best to choose a floor higher rooms, quiet, hot water, because many hotel is solar heating, heat, hot water passing from top floor at the ground floor, diminished.

12. in Nepal, drivers strike is always likely to happen, and transportation companies will not refund the fare paid, in determining the visit to see the latest newspaper or to local people learn about the strike of information, General newspapers will one day in advance announcement message to strike.

13. If you want to save money, hiking, rafting, Safari, and other activities directly find travel agencies or wizard, charges will be lower than find hotels do proxy, and you want to shop around, anyway, so that the travel agent or wizard is (sometimes way touch get Ian).

Of course, if you cannot find the wizard, the minimum fee, but they may take some time to go forward, following the conclusion of the accommodation (the active process of accommodation arrangements will normally be included in the guide services), pay when you talk about clear costs including the details of the content.

14. when visiting temples, if on Buddhist and Hindu not quite understand, but want to see that point myself to it, may wish to find a tour guide (temple gate has a lot of this guide, a few people looking for a row), the fee is not high, up to 100 rupees should be can't figure it out.

15. When you basically don't have to walk with nothing to eat, because there are many hotels, restaurants, and of course you can bring some solight chocolate or beef jerky, supplementary energy at any time.

So you can bring some fruit, for apart from Orange Hill, no other fruit for sale. If you own a kettle, every morning you can ask the hotel to be full of water (drinking hot water is generally provided free of charge, and some places do not provide drinking cold water or you want to charge, then you can of course be to hot water own cooling), because the road while also selling the water, but what price comparison on the Hill.

16. don't know Nepal's time, distance, concept and we or they are too warm, even if you don't know the way to guide you, but experience tells me that if they tell you to go the way of a period of 5 minutes, then you have to at least 15 minutes (I think their pace and I more or less), if that drove 3 hours to get to, you have to make a good six hours of preparation.

17. go rafting, water temperature in winter is not a particularly low, but if wet but without the Sun, or very cold.

Organize rafting offers waterproof performance good coat, the plastic cap is not waterproof, not wet, be sure to tighten the waterproof coat collar and cuffs, if then bring even the CAP raincoat and rain pants (city has sold 3 million rupees to buy a set of) the better, in particular, strengthening the upper body yumao waterproof effect is very good.

18. If you want to see wildlife, don't be lazy to sit the jeep, Ah, no animals will be foolish to hear the sound of the car in the street let you see.

Up to let the Jeep take you away in the jungle before, after or own walking into it might be a good harvest, and more free (generally ride the elephant is the best way, but strange Mong National Zoo provides only limited scope like the back rows, the elephant is not entered more deep jungle).

19. If you want to

Mountain Flight, it is best to stay a few days, the plane is taking off completely depends on weather conditions, but generally the first flight in the morning (7 points off) can see the scenery the best, but due to the limited number (class 12 or so), so you want to book in advance. Some of the agents on the basis of the standard price discounts, of course, this requires you to put to him.

20. If a return is sitting on the plane, it is recommended that sit on the left hand window seat, you can clearly see the spectacular snow-capped mountains and awe-inspiring.
