Strike in Nepal--11 days running travels

Strike in Nepal

--11 days running travels

Nepal has been my and my wife's dream, but this trip is unpredictable, but the trip too many surprises and unexpected, so this trip even more memorable.

First, the decision process, taking into account the almost 3 year old with chocolate, the original plan of the sabbatical year is son go to Thailand, but decisions down Royal Orchid Holidays seat has been booked.

Angry so that after a 11, will target steering a favorite of Nepal. Son couldn't join us, little guy very unhappy, that we go out to play without him, so that we assure him that after the vacation will be with him.

Friends from cyts Chengdu company booked Air China Beijing-Chengdu-Lhasa-Kathmandu airfare, 4400 Yuan from taxes, very good price, but not including Chengdu accommodation, December 18 to the Chengdu, 19 in the morning flight to Kathmandu.

Say that, because the work is too busy, no time to do homework, the Chinese version of the LP all sold out, the English version of it is too expensive, so above from Taobao bought a electronic edition, 5 bucks a share.

At that time was to Nepal and then buy a piracy, but proved to be wrong. Of course, does not do homework by error must not be limited to this, for example, didn't bring a sleeping bag, with alpenstock (had no) etc. Anyway, is set out in a hurry. However, no matter how many things I forgot, after all, is to start, go back to the road!

Day 1

Specifically, the first day is from Beijing and Chengdu, but since this is only half the journey, in addition to the Marquis had a hot pot, didn't do anything, so I took the day to Nepal counts as the first day.

At noon, the exact time is Beijing time at around 11: 30 pm, the aircraft left, cross the Himalayas.

Aircraft to the right of the seat can one let go of Mount Everest, in fact, not only is the Mount Everest, Himalayas of the group as a whole are a porthole, can only use one word to describe the "very strong, very shocking."

On the plane, we developed the initial itinerary of Kathmandu – Blue Nile – boccara-Naga profile-— Bard Kong-Kathmandu.

Of course. This trip too perfect, perfect.

Our line of three people in the local time 10: 30 or so finally reached Kathmandu Tribhuvan airport, the trio is his wife, the wife of her husband, a wife of her husband's dad (clarify the bar).

TribhuvanTribhuvanTribhuvan airport is a two-story red brick building, compared to a domestic scale of-luxury airport, appeared quite simple and compact. Good, less than the Beijing airport to walk a lot. (I wonder how many people each day in the capital city airport terminal building huge put valuable time wasted on walk).

In a Terminal, we'd swap point Nepal rupees, met with the same objective two from Beijing--flurries and black, our entire programme partners.

Since the airport exchange rate is not very good, would like to receive commissions, so we only changed very little money.

At the airport around looking for lift brand of people (in Chengdu to add all of an Inn for a scheduled mail, LP recommended, is said to be free airport pick up), the results do not have our names, it looks like we made Inn is hopeless, only able to join the bargaining with the taxi driver.

These drivers also will say a few words of Chinese, finally chose one looks on the majority of honest people, free to send us to the Themal Inn, if you are not satisfied with the Inn can change until satisfied. Taxi is a small surface, simply sit down our 5 individuals, black carry forward the spirit of sacrifice, the initiative has mounted lying luggage trunk, bump, poor road conditions, some odd half an hour later, the Themal district. The first Inn is not satisfactory, a layer is a bit damp room, second floor and a little GUI, second Inn called Seven Corner, fairly good, 10 dollars a triple room with hot water, we all feel good, is selected here. So settle down, is at noon.

Nepal's first meal is called the Themal Saika little restaurant, flurries or wife discovered.

Then for some reason, we are in and of every meal is here. The restaurant food was good, but also cheap. We are a group of people are there with us, the waiter told us a message, a strike. This English word has it a day, starting from the 20 strike, nationwide, to last for 3 days, all aircraft of traffic tools to stop functioning, including the cab, the restaurant is not opened. This message lets shocked, immediately reconsider travel, blue Bobigny is to not become (no plane to), you can only fly boccara, because instead of being trapped in Kathmandu that is trapped in a bokhara, at least there's landscape, snow and fee Siwa.

After dinner, arranged for second-day air ($ 70/person) has fast 3 point, let's go to du Bal square.

From Themal to Amadou Toumani Touré BA not far to walk that is 20 minutes. Du Bal square there are too many people, too many cars, chaos, no order at all. The ancient temples, quietly situated to the noisy crowd, at sunset, solemn and beautiful. Clothing colorful Dervish who walk through the temples, but also between increased a little mystery. Du Bal Plaza on foreigners is charge of 300 rupees per person. Tickets can be extended, in other words, buy a ticket, you can come back and extension procedures for is in an Office to the South of the square, take the photo.

Day 2

19 in the morning, the ticket agent company sent a young man took us to the airport bus, such as the local bus, there is no any sign, is a group of people carrying a package stand together, stand, where the car stops.

No car on the street, it looks like the start of the strike, we feel that all the visitors in Kathmandu to fly fled, waiting for the bus station is full of tourists in a street. Waiting for the bus finally appears, the crowd crowded fengyongershang, Beijing morning 300 road. I also think the seat next to me is a 70-liter backpack, and so he began to call it a personal back also. Airport bus took us to the international terminal building, which is the two-story red-brick building, we have to go to the domestic departure hall. Looking around, never seen anything tall buildings, only a small slope behind a building, a group of diverse people skeptical of a slope, turned an iron fence, a traffic sign appears at the top, it says "the Passenger", has finally told us this is Terminal. Terminal signage within is indeed a counter, side have said luggage scales and a trailer, nothing else will. Check-in is simple, just to pay the airport tax of RS. 170. Security is also very simple, men and women separate, casual look backpack will release.

Interesting is the flight number in Nepal domestic routes like nothing, flurries and black a flight with us, but to the airport late than we, so we also fly by night, didn't know who was sitting in the wrong flight.

More interesting is that my wife forgot to turn off the plane and visiting scholar, results in the sky to receive the text message to your friend who asked us? wife immediately reply, is to fly too get a fabulous!!

Aircraft is snowman airline, is very small, a hostess, a total of fly more than 30 minutes, the air hostesses to each cup of coffee and coffee cup was, the aircraft arrived.

The window is the interlocking of the Himalayas, we basically flying along the snow, it is to enjoy.

We waited a while at the airport, the snow and the aircraft went to black, like small public.

Because of the strike, no car, Inn told us can only walk. So, we pick up the luggage, on foot, from the airport go to ha'afeva lakeside Inn. In fact, not too far, especially with the small case than on foot.

The Inn is in Kathmandu is decided, the name is pretty good, call Nepal Guesthouse, steward is a small, very strong, very clever, all quotes are more expensive than others.

We only stayed for one day, they went black, they joined the Inn Lodge called Holy, not only cheaper prices, and porters quotation is also cheap, especially with the chamdo, Inn working too cute, we all like him, especially snow classmates and my wife.

In the first afternoon, l is in idle lakeside stroll.

In the evening back to the street car, most shops are closed closed households, also opened a restaurant at night are not open, go a round trip, also could not find places to eat. We almost despair, one who told us about Nepal a secret, the restaurant is a backdoor, and enthusiasm took us to a closed gate, reached a push, suddenly found that nobody's fool, and eat. We finally have pulled down.

Thought to eat lunch at ease, I didn't think that eating eat a power outage, the restaurant was a candle, the street but a dark, do not know what time you want to stop to, only from the restaurant to the candles, shallow kicked back of.

Walked, suddenly heard someone calling our names, is this place was also an acquaintance, looked back and is black they couple, hidden in a small restaurant 黑灯瞎火 and so eat it. Together and talk for a minute days, returned to the Inn. Power outages also has a power advantage is able to see stars and the milky way, in retrospect, last seen Galaxy or a child.

Wife of notes:

Power outages, dark, the stars shine Street, flickering candle light back to the shop.

Day 3

Morning casually took some biscuits, then check out away from the Guesthouse, Nepal shortchange finally also charged me 40 rupees for boiling water charges, we didn't talk to him more nonsense.

In Holy Lodge, qamdo have our room ready, 3 room, 400 rupees a day, hot water free of charge.

Wanted to rent a bike around and found that the whole city bike hire all over.

You know, this is a bokhara idle people only transport. In desperation, the provisional decision to world peace Tower, in Lake rented boat boatman transfer us to the lake shore, we let the boatman to take another boat back, the boat leaves us, we are planning to go back. The mountain road is not difficult, about 40 minutes away, the way birds, monkeysA rampant. Snowy Mountains, Siwa and boccara city sky real Lake. By the way, if you want to see snow in ha'afeva Lake reflection, there must be robbed in Lake water waves, is in the day dawn when climbed to the top, you can see the postcard scenery. Don't worry about the fog in the morning, after not fog up. These are the sailor says, ours is not to see.

The absolute value of world peace Tower, White Tower in the sky of relieved is very beautiful, the photo is in some sense of Greece, although we haven't been to Greece.

Tower is Japan's donation, praying for the world, but the above text is Chinese. There is a large Tower, one of the handful of grassland in sunbathing lawn, or sitting or lying opposite annapuerna Himal, think of Hazel's poem: face-snow mountain, with spring blossoms.

Back of the boat is our own Division, the boat was noted only a paddle, which had a strong, only two left, right Division of Division III, anyway, ship gone straight, toss a half point, I'll we be back.

The next time it is killed by the Lake, with chat between various people waiting. A Beijing to aunt got chatting with us no less than one hour, says her how to walk, how to drift, how to, how did nothing of the gliders and how the language barrier of buy eggs, buy food, cooking. Too strong!

The strike continues, the restaurant is still open.

We have the experience of drilling on the first dinner in the restaurant, the restaurant has a person did not, as is also turned off. Boss look at us, recognized as a person, big heart and let guys give us something to eat. Listen to him, this morning, the Maoist people to throw a stone door restaurant, frightened everyone is afraid to business. After a while back, and there are several girls came in, we all looked at each other and smiled, yesterday in the eating of acquaintances, meal out of the House, also did not forget to say tomorrow night.

In fact, even the door, I guess we have nothing to look. On the contrary, the bike is quite enjoyable, especially all the way back to bokhara, despite the snow, it is good. 11 point done climbing permits, we want to go to the old look, by the way did find places to eat, the results were disappointing, ride for half an hour also didn't see a door restaurant, was met with a so-called Tibet refugee camps. I do not know who he is, in roadside bought a big banana, a pedestrian-place open to eat, what is more, some comrades also sit in the police's alcove, alas!

Day 7

4: 30 in the morning to get up, get ready to see the sunrise.

Looked at, what you saw nothing, the window was ice cold, it was enough. And so go take a look at the ground, a thick layer of snow, the stars of light, with silver light. This is really a surprise, we in Nepal 3200 meters on the top of a White Christmas Eve.

Go to Poon Hill Road, many people don't know is where to drill out, with a headlight, and proceed to electricity, all wearing messy, it is all the fabrics are wrapped to me, there are people with a dog, I do not know where to get to.

Climbed by approximately 1 hours, finally came to the top of the Hill, where the Sun hasn't come out in the cold wind, can only wait.

All the hard work at the moment of sunshine is Chinshan turn Ukraine has, despite the Sunrise, the front is the left peak, fish tail is annapuerna nanfeng, behind Dhaulagiri Summit.

Each building is perfect, xuefeng Golden Sunrise, with dazzling light. This time the only way to do things like the camera, we wore socks hands kept pressing the shutter, every angle, every scene, the toss over and over again, or feel that didn't do enough. I think my wife said that sentence, taking pictures is how fun activities!

From Poon Hill down almost 8 point, and wait for the departure time was about 9 points, while the original plan is 8 points out, this one-hour delay, let us next day trip is full of challenges.

Just off the road is fairly good, and scenery super good; it is not worse than Poon Hill mountain.

Sky, snow, temperature comfortable, nothing in such an environment more comfortable on foot, but you can imagine, we would not be comfortable for a long time. Sure enough, the mountain road, horizons and steep, snow stage wet, it is better to have porters help, finally came to a Valley, and suddenly see a stone on a few words: "Beijing friends, come on!", is the Canton friend writes, thank you for your encouragement!

Go to the afternoon, we sit down to eat something, look at the map, it was only after one third.

In the afternoon the weather is not very good, we also do not photograph the lab, just the hurried, just want to get to before dark, or Gundruk was sleeping in the forest. 4 pm and a half minutes to XXXX, the weather has been dimmed, it is before dark to do Gundruk. Ask dad also go farther, dad said OK, potters pointed little lights in the dusk, there, about 2 hours to be able to discuss it, everyone, or go away. In fact, is to go to XXXX conditions it is too bad, but we didn't see anyone else. Wear a headlight, turn on the flashlight, we continue to walk through the mountains, go to the end, in addition to trample that bright, almost nothing in sight, the benefit is not afraid, even the cliff we could see nothing. Up to 7 points, we finally arrived, we find Gundruk first Inn also is full of black said, nothing left to fight in the floor of the HallWe laughed, cajoled out only brought him to the us to find good hostel.

From the morning to get up to 4: 30 to 19: 00 dinner at half the House, in addition, a full day off 12 hours, I think we simply terrific!

My wife has learned from the small black one: no money.

This sentence was demonstrated today. The story is like this, we took two headlamps, one is 70 million, a $ 600, battery number, usually didn't think much of difference, anyway, according to a bright chant. But they are completely different in the performance of the mountains, expensive that lamp, high brightness, light is not bulk, irradiation distance and brightness and stability, and that only Windows on their own feet, is better than no strong point, not practical. Of course this sentence in black and flurries of alpenstock, have also been confirmed. This is way down the line, let us not talk.

Our legs have not pain, upper and lower floor are moved sideways, look very funny.

Even from the bed to the bathroom the step road, have become abnormal hard mouth had groaned. That's too late, had no solar hot water, the boss for we sent barrels of hot water (free), washed his face, bubble bubble foot, saved us.

The road is in the morning.

The so-called step, in fact, go down along the terrace, along the picturesque, snow-capped mountains, forests, rivers, there is a terrace, Nepal children singing in the street clapping, idyllic pastoral. But from another perspective, Nepal since conditions difficult and had to farm the land reclamation in the mountains, our hiking in them is life.

Afternoon Basic is go ping, just like the first day was just walking into the mountain, his wife went to later become mechanical movement, she said to have fast asleep, perhaps already asleep.

5 p.m., we went back to the Naya Pul, a minibus is already waiting for us, carrying our weary bodies back to bokhara, back to the Holy Lodge.

Just for a while, the Inn is not just told us a qamdo, tomorrow to strike.

My gosh, I come to Nepal was only a few days in total, only 3 days already, and to strike. Flurries and black was a bit crazy, they were the original plan was to go to the LAN by bus TOPAMAX, and it also has a Lake on Akira day. We as the tight schedule, just flew back to Kathmandu, plan is buggy directly from plus to NA widened-overnight, after watching the sunrise from na widened, the Bard gang back together. Plan is good, just worry about whether or not we can pack into a taxi. Fortunately, there are rumors that just bokhara strike, other parts of the work as usual, this is can't figure out what happened.

Go to the airport or go, does not matter, we are so came, not very far anyway, half an hour or so to go up.

Swap out your boarding pass, be informed and have all the bad weather, the number of flights delayed 1 hour, then the long wait. Tea, see photos, and capable of doing it again, the plane has not come yet. Ask the service personnel, the answer is 1 hour after the flight, ask the 3-4 times, the Sun stands. Wait to finally be able to fly, it was 3 o'clock in the afternoon, in half an hour to do. Starting from the morning, 9 hours, 200 km, marathon runner running all the way.

The so-called plan can't keep up with changes to NA widened-is too late, can only give up.

Airport door looking for taxi, 1000 rupees, to burn the body Temple, Boda, then send us back to Tamil.

Burned corpse Temple not far away from the airport, is the subcontinent's largest Hindu temples, we request a tourist guide for explanation.

The temple there is a river, six burned corpse station in the West Bank arranged a Word, of which four are for civilian use, the other two are noble, there is a set of construction is only allowed to enter India Christians. When we arrived, there are several table is working, the air here an unpleasant smell, it is difficult to have one word to describe our feelings, mystery, horror, shock ..., involving religion, do not more. The East coast of the River is a hillside, overlooking the entire West Bank, there are some Tower Hill and stone sculpture Totem. In short, if you have time, or quite worth a go.

Let us find it strange that some people sitting on the hillside of the West Bank, as the scenery see burnt corpse, it is difficult to understand.

Anyway, we don't have time to be there with consumption, nor was there a consumption, taking advantage of the day hasn't been black, hied Boda HA.

Boda, is actually more like a Tibetan's small cities, the city centre is

Huge Boda, White Tower, surrounding the were temples, restaurants and shops. Boda Nahata White Tower, bright Budda Eye, in twilight is really beautiful. A huge crowd under Tower around stupa slowly, we wrapped in it, as though the entire Boda Kazakhstan is a giant prayer wheel, humanly.

Monkey Temple in the West, both built in the mountains to climb 365 step to get to the ticket office at approximately 360 step, I will not trust you not to buy the ticket, or you get back.

Very high, very steep, very scary.

It is said that the monkey Temple was Budda Eye is the most beautiful, she had three eyes.

Unfortunately, when we go is under repair. Monkey Temple of the monkey really many, but compared to the Dove, that was only partly right. Small square full of pigeons, is not afraid of people, chances are when you pull your head, what can't rush it complains, lest it something to your mouth.

In theory, from the monkey Temple overlooking the entire postcard, the Kathmandu, anyway, however December of Nepal is the dry season, dust and pollution are very big, so we could see nothing.

The monkey Temple is no longer need to go that's 365 step, you can go directly from the temple to the West.

Go directly to the taxi package Bard posts.

Durr Bard posts than plus all Palestine Square to quiet a lot, you can still enjoy and feel these ancient buildings.

Originally, we are not going to make the Guide, but when a eyes big boy in fluent English to my wife's recommended himself, we completely unable to reject, you can refuse a spare time to earn tuition kids? you can refuse a 13-year-old boy bright smile? you can't, we can't. Not only can not be refused, have offered to pay point guide. Home to 150 rupees, his wife gave 200 rupees. But the little guide is quite good, without him, we are sure in Bard posts get lost. By the way, on the way I and his wife also because the camera thing bucket a few words of mouth, the children gave us a nonchalant attitude, give me candy, we don't get angry, really lovely.

Bard Kong's attractions are many, we do not say that we want to say is that we must go to the alley, see where the old life, I guess they might be hundreds of years have not changed.

From Bard posts back, the couple receives a short message to your friend, they also came to Kathmandu, family car is 3 points to, others much cheaper! back to the Inn, I ran into a bit of this couple, their encounter small essentials, screaming, talking very happy.

The old rules, supper or Zaike, then is the shopping streets, the women were in the houses scarf store in and out, men Exchange there.

The final outcome is a scarf, tea, wood products, spices. However a little regret, wife in bokhara airport saw a foreign girl wearing a special and unique Budda Eye shape necklace, silver border, with a colored stone, is like, but in Kathmandu was not found, it looks only boccara.

International airline security also has a lot of character, the first one like x-ray machine-like machine scanning and then the security doors.

Then is the play that put everything out, drop to the desktop, the attendant as the same check, poor me that great care, thenightbeingdarkandfrosty pitcher of the package, all gone. And then there are men and women separate checks, customs clearance,Into the Terminal.

Terminal is very small, it is a House with a long distance bus station, all the flights are all together, there is no other facilities.

We started waiting for it also in Chengdu. No food, no water, only a handful of beef jerky.
