In November 2008 the fifth Nepal travel: 11/18

11/18 fifth day exotic Mong-l (4-6 hours by car)

Plan trips: After breakfast, 4-6 hours by car to have Asian Switzerland of bokhara, along the way to appreciate the Himalayas mountains, you can enjoy the mountains living environment. This is an in the 1960s by European youth as "the road" Holy hippie, today it is well known for its numerous hiking routes starting or ending, become the world backpackers recognized "hiking paradise", beautiful lakes and mountains, is known as the "small Switzerland of the East."

Looking for accommodation, and into the license and the wizard is ready for 3 days of hiking.

Accommodation: available prior to find several do comparison, if you want to see the Hill-view room reservation may be required to go to the front.

Hotel Meera, you can see mountain view.

The actual tour: morning follow a RAM to see birds in the Woods.

The Woods to see the sunrise in the outlying areas are not far away, we are not too many want to see what exotic birds, just want to breathe in the fresh air of the morning is also quite good. In the Woods to see a large adult elephant ivory, dream wanted to get down to it's ivory, eat and drink to worry about my life. This early morning stroll around an hour or so, we go back to the hotel for breakfast. Ram is good, the coach to the hotel to take us, save some comrades have to sit on the roof rack pica. The whole range is about 150 km road section, half of which is to reverse the drifting back, very boring. Midway once off to dinner, although generally also stomach to eat local food, buffet. Because it is not a Green Line, the meal yourself to pay. I also want to help themselves, on a number to a cup of tea to drink, tea also collect the money. The bus station, l, long time no one to cut our, it appears that the hotel no one to pick, on their own to make a car 130 RS to the hotel. The hotel with their complaints, why not come to meet, they said they had already sent, apparently didn't hit his head. Alas, this money can only own cut. From the bus station to the Lake District, unified price 130 rupees, or talked about. The hotel although the facilities look OK, YuanWang has a mountain view, but a bit noisy Street. After about 1 hour, Wizard to meet with our hotel, told us that after three days on foot. PASANG booked via the wizard the next morning from hotel to Nayapul – on foot, start and end points of the town. 6 van 4500 rupees, the price is 6000 before asking the hotel, so I can't offer it should, it still feels PASANG. This price is a bit expensive, but still 6 minutes down and then folded into RMB no number. If you are a 4 person car prices could in between 2000-2500 rupees. This money is finished with them and then put on foot we reconnect boccara. Finished these, we rushed out of the way down to find the store you want to live after, because we only through a proxy for a two-day accommodation, are more expensive. Wish to own see what tasty small hotel. Random walk into the alley, saw several, chose LP has recommended NOBEL INN, quiet and see the snow-capped mountains of the North room USD15 full price including tax not included, feel complete the task. Proprietress people quite good, but also more concrete. Dinner in a travelogue was recommended in the restaurant, such as call Lake Garden Hotel, the English Garden restaurant called the Chinese, the wizard also ate together. The flavor is good. After a stroll around, someone has already couldn't sell bought scarf, offer 4000 rupees, she also 1000, can't other people gave, it seems the price did not grasping the place. Finished, everyone went back to packaging, from thinking to myself ready to go.

Tips: 1) proxy will say that now is the season, good hotel not scheduled.

In fact, no need to book, because if you are not very demanding, General conditions of small hotel has very good. For example, Noble Inn. As for the so-called mountain-view room Lakeview room you also do not enjoy much, most of the time outside sloshing. Furthermore, hiking in close watched Himal, presumably for the ghostly's fishtail peak also nothing. 2) if the reserved hotel, usually someone to pick up, but it is a good confirmation with the agent. Local access is also very funny, very few examples of brands, is totally confused and not knowing what course to follow you, a person close to you, usually or can receive, patience, and so on. Walking tour 3) can also be scheduled to bokhara. We have four in ten people who are only looking to bokhara. On the price is USD 27 to contain from bokhara Nayapul's return fare, the price is still possible. But they better than our late day hiking, completing, the same three days away. 4) in the Lake District of bokhara, East Lake District and North Shore area, it is recommended that first night in the lakeside area to live in, then find a car looking for agent and shelter are more convenient.

November 2008 15: Nepal travel experience

A lot of experience in every day there is a detailed summary, here are some important experience.

Summary:

1) prior booking is good first day at all accommodation still very necessary, ask the hotel reception.

2) signed a contract is required, the contract you want to clear the project

3) through a proxy in hotel reservation, you can seek request fee includes breakfast (we forgot about this time, so does the package as early as after all luck)

4) off the entire country Nepal is common, so the flashlight is essential, of course they always are ready to candles.

Often a candlelight dinner quite romantic.

5) price expensive hotel is with its own generator, like the Hotel Meera and Lake View Resort has, in General, small hotel is only a romantic moment.

6) Nepal consumption is very low, per capita income is only 3000-5000 rupees every month.

Our six meals average is around 1500 rupees, the most expensive a steak dinner is 3 000 points, this country of RS. how poor.

7) if the radio is very useful, especially in Nepal.

You do not know when there is no signal. And radio does not have any extra costs.

Converts 8) mainly European-standard plug.

9) most comfortable is the people here are very friendly, whether on foot or sloshing in various city attractions, the most listened to say most of Nepal language is "Namaste".

In the poorest countries, people and human distance but so close. This intimate are based on a material basis of their poverty, but sometimes you see they feel that they are rich, because many people meet in life, they live very relaxed. According to our common sense, backward state security is definitely not good, needed careful dike thief robber, but I feel very safe here. My little backpack always is back behind, never touched the thief. I think the tendency of each country must have, but this proportion of the number is the key, at least I personally feel that in Nepal in Shanghai security than I am.

10) recommend that dry season to Nepal, because although the dry season is a busy season, but also not too many places, each should be able to find hotel.

Just all spend more money, but this money into RMB is exactly the point. What to see during the trip, as well as snow sun sunny much of probability, for Vista's satisfaction will increase a lot.

11) exchange rate fluctuation compared every day.

Plus all Exchange rates are higher than many other places, in addition to swapping when both.

12) here also traffic India rupees, some shop owners will find you India rupees, try not to accept, it is said that India rupee with counterfeit money.

Some of the shop owner is not willing to accept.

13) there is a call next door Puskar, 5 rupees for one minute to China, really cheap home elsewhere seems not so cheap, the signal is also quite good.

In the morning to go to girls in the hotel, they have to go out.

Their fight to the param Tan, du bus Plaza said good 80 rupees, the driver to take me to an arch-like door said Joanne, the car cannot be entered. I am in the midst of the old hangout in a confused, ask a few people do not speak English very well, as a result a looked up and saw jinmiao signs, they went in, which is very small, purposely, flocks of pigeons in the temple, roost enters the Palace next to the need to take your shoes off, I couldn't stay, take a left. It got to the square of a portal, because early, no one entry, the square was packed with stalls selling in the crowd, selling vegetables, fruit, a variety of crafts, a rather large markets, to a certain amount of time, those food vendors, fruit vendors will its own cargo volume with a go, it's on the square spotless floors. The square building has beautiful pekah, particularly several Hindu temples, with obvious Byzantine style, with the exception of India Christians is not let people into. Flocks of pigeons in the Plaza of open space and landing, massive, carrying soldiers M-16 line-up slowly passed, dressed in a Sari's women in the temple to pray, before wearing the t-shirt jeans youth idly sitting on the stairs, there was an increase in foreign land.

We went to the Emperor, paspa door to buy tickets when you ask many, is that the price rise.

08-Oct-Nepal trip-15 days (completed)

Morning wake up very early, thinking today leaving Nepal, suddenly has a very residential feel, those lovely Ocean Nunu, those rich color, those kindhearted people give us good smile, those with strong exotic architecture, 15 days in Nepal, with too many things worth aftertaste, go nostalgia.

Similarly, potholes uneven roads, streets, piles of garbage, air bursts of rotting flesh tastes, always immutable power outages, and let our home has a great yearning. Pack up your luggage, the last time we ran to the balcony, while eating the bread on one side and say goodbye to this city. Mood is always this way, each to leave when there was no care, think later should no longer have the opportunity to return to this place, this unique, colorful city, we use our deep look and say goodbye to her.

The hotel roof terrace

The aircraft was 10: 45, but we for Nepal's slow deep feelings, so some good guide: 8 am to meet us, the car is on time to the hotel's entrance.

In fact, already heard in the travel, Nepal airport check very cumbersome, so this time baggage sorting, we have two convenient to check, in particular all things compartments structured well, 2 x 60 litres of big bag all sleeping bags, clothing and toiletries, and a small shoulders the cross-Pack is the husband of the camera, lens, I was always an oblique backpack, which is a small cosmetic bag and passport, wallet, and other supplies, and another is the handbag, which is the time to buy a set of drums. Wait until all the luggage on the bus, tour guide, official and we bid farewell to each presented Hada, this is a blessing, we are flattered to receive blessings, but for how to deal with this had made the difficult, but I want to wait for the airport, take the airport directly to the one of Hadad Inspector, it is estimated that he would be because our blessings and our a horse?

It's probably had played a role, the car on the way very smoothly, no traffic jams, soon to remove the baggage at the airport, we see people pushing carts come over and say just how much money can be given, in fact, this is not to spend money, just a special little luggage here, but I just have small change, think back to China, it's no use to him.

Pushing a car into it, not long before hitting the first entrance of security, one of the appearance of security equipment and domestic equipment is no different, to please, I quickly hands respectfully give our Hada, the attendant's neck, although the attendant was very surprised and grateful, but checks still, for dropping drum handbag walking back to their requirements, my curiosity to look along the edge of the monitor, this device too corny, and only shows two round things, feel is like a bomb, so they come two requirements, that the husband opened the bag to buy drum with a handbag is true enough antiques, the light that Pack on badgering rope is enough to open for some time now, with her husband is also very nervous, less open, then I can only be kept in the edge of the tame and tell them that this is a musical instrument can be beat, we especially like your country music so we went to the trouble area home, they seem to understand that attitudes become friendly, the attendant also learn drumming posture schematic, but opened the bag check, and wait until finally release when her husband is also a sigh of relief. As the walk, if you have extra rubles, can fold into RMB, however it is important to remember that when you ask him to swap to a voucher, if you do not have the credentials here cannot be swapped into RMB.

Nepal airport

We came to change registration card window, when we produce the itinerary, the staff asked us all staff everyone together, but we had to buy is 13 personal group ticket, but the trip early because their itinerary and divided into two groups, we repeatedly explained to him, but he still quietly insist must go together, but also his registration all manual, it may be that the world is unique, and behind him is a long string of people waiting for us because the numbers are drawn by the delay, all waiting for check-in were very worried, but staff are not urgent, it did not propose that we stand by and do not agree to release, so it seems ready to consume it, we feel that this is not a solution, or let the people behind, then we all passports and shipping luggage aside, specifically with EASE waiting another two companion to join together, at last a little while hastily rushed companion also came to the window, was successfully obtained a boarding card.

We all feel thanks to early to the airport, all have free is better.

And then is security, our two large package of 60 litres shipping, the remaining few packages carry, because before you know it security is a need to take your shoes off checks, so we all wore sandals, it is very convenient, this way of security is very interesting, first ever security doors, with sticks and check on you, but this is only part of the check, and then separated from the men and women, have a dedicated men and women inspectors hand to touch your toes mess, uniformed women inspectors, especially sturdy and dignified, estimate this is Nepal features, but I suggest that they should put on national costumes, so we can better these passengers accept such indecent treatment.

I will soon release, only the husband and the handbag is jammed, or to open package comprehensive inspection can only be opened once, they carefully the offspring of two drum through out read it through, even the two drum pad were not spared, it is estimated that there are very few people will take it back, so raises their particular vigilance. Finally, or release, husband greatly relieved, because a security check, it should be fine nowHands-on with peace of mind.

Sitting in a small boarding Hall, surrounded of duty-free shops can help you get the rest of the rouble was a blank, the Hall decoration very elegant Brown pillars Dim light, followed by the color so simple, yet impressive, Hall Middle hanging big TV screen that is shown is India's movies, movies and dancing people has always been so prosperous, love, and now we have fully understood the art of living is higher than ever, but India's dance and songs still very good and Nice.

Two select 7 days hiking companion came and said to the 7 days of walking, they describe just a miserable, finally came to the foot is rotten, look at the King's heart because physical pain has gone, it will when strives, overview of small hills, not only need to have a good mood. More need to have a good manual.

At this point we begin to line up, I think I should start boarding now, quickly and husband to take a packet queue, in the front to think that it is divided into two rows of men and women, with a sturdy uniformed women, on my toes to feel, really terrible her carefully and seriously made me feel too bad, although a clothes, you can also let the embarrassing, but I tell myself this is national characteristics, so at least better accept! after being touched by, there was a row of the table, each individual has a dedicated inspectors to the table, and then he will ask you to solve all carry-on luggage check, he asked me to open my carry-on bags, almost turned to request according to the day, and then open the make-up bags check, see my 100 ml powder bottom said this is a band of, let me turn out, I just ripped, 100 ml of liquid is completely portable, I argue a few words, her husband walked threw for fast not long-winded, think well, I really missed the plane is not more than gain, submersible thrown into the other side of the table, there are a lot of cosmetic threw, some sunscreen, latex, etc, so be sure not to put these things in a carry-on bag, to honor a is not equal to all of the attendant.

After this check, was taken to the Terminal, there is a TV set, sat in a small room, the light still in the dark, the top of the room and bathroom, no headers are men and women of the signs, but in the bathroom door standing female guards should be female toilets, bathroom but there is too little health.

At this point in everyone's chaotic and pleasing Nepal security enforcement, so time was too quickly, it wasn't long before finally official check-in, and we as people take the boarding pass ready to board the plane, the plane of the cockle, husband again be stopped down, stopped him this time is that the crew of the national language of China, they first examined the we put the drum of the handbag, but in the end is China inspection equipment is advanced, they didn't ask us opens packages check, direct to an instrument, and then in the handbag on something into the apparatus, the apparatus squeaky sound, the instrument look like a universal instrument panel.

They estimate at a half-day or factoring out our taping on composition, so a crew undertone on another said: first let them, see them so solemn expression, we also can't agreesargue, quickly took the package looks to find seats when we sat down and thought this happened the way today the package also is unusual, but it doesn't look like a dangerous, is now even have cunning criminals to acclivity? but we are also very pleased to wide solution themselves, after all, so closely, at least, passenger safety is assured, boarding almost over, the door has been closed, then just check the officer came and asked us where to put the package, and then take our package said he first custody, after the aircraft to be returned to us, we both looked at each other, really can't figure out what they discovered what clues, you need this package so closely monitored, however we do not dare to dissent, after all, we don't dare defy all aircraft personnel safety.

Trouble in India drum

Flying Air China is an important advantage is that you can see in the Himalayas on the plane, after all, witnessed the towering Himalayas in one's life is still very rare, mountain direct plug in clouds, penetrating a thick cloud, blue sky, accentuating her unique.

Sitting on the side of the companions, and self-service to Nepal Tourism, their line of 16 people, all from different parts of the country are convening of the Internet, he said he will organize a dozen more travel, going to Greece next year. We the people are so lucky, because of the Internet, the world as we open the door, so many strangers people because invisible to the Internet, and become acquainted with the friends and acquaintances. Of course, also benefit from the country several years of rapid development, and finally let us in pursuit of material wealth, comes from the spiritual level of demand continues to deepen, the outside world for our temptation is no longer confined to the cursory flowers, in fact everyone on a local perception would certainly not be exactly the same, so go out to see this and your life has a different world, how interesting thing to do, every time you travel can make me excited, travel thing can I recall a long time, although we often lament life is so short, but short life should be aware of this wonderful world, this is still alive in this life.

The aircraft proceeded to Lhasa short stay for 40 minutes, when we are under the aircraft successfully reclaiming our handbag, Lhasa Aiport is very spacious, have there will be gaps and Nepal's airport, you will feel that the country now is too powerful, La machine outside the blue blue sky, but because the Lhasa or have a certain altitude, so a lot of people will feel comfortable here, and here and Kathmandu a two-hour time difference, then remember to add a watch to Beijing time, this time because when a lesson, so the clothes we wear

A full, husband ran ran after trying to photograph, so blue skies and a variety of cotton cloud, is God given gift of Lhasa special. Once again the boarding is a direct flight to Chengdu, the distance from home in the narrowed to the feeling of home is more and more strongly.

Lhasa airport

The aircraft arrived in Chengdu we have out of Chengdu airport handled directly through the connecting flight to Shanghai, boarding passes, but still want to get your luggage, and then again at the boarding gate check-in baggage, luggage, took to specialized mouth boarding, go to Beijing and Shanghai are handled in this port, a staff are disoriented and around his confusion people for boarding passes and checked baggage, you can imagine the scene there is more confusion, combined with the shipper of luggage in a security inspection of time found a lot of people took control of the saber, Nepal w, Saber world famous, but it is, belong to our national control arms cannot be allowed to own, once found must be confiscated, of course, you buy in Nepal, he'll tell you no, everyone smoothly zone back to the States, but can he not know everyone was allowed a smooth belt out of the Nepal border, because Nepal as this is legal, but also their State one of the main tourist souvenirs, but he does not know all the requested in China directly turned over to the airport security sector, although many people constantly struggle to plead that he was raised as to whether there can be temporary, acquaintance to the airport and then take the idea of this kind of funny, in fact, certain dimensions of the wide, Saber, already belongs to the control of arms, individuals can't have, before seeing that Phoenix can help by mail, complete nonsense, because the post office will be forfeited, if you really like Saber, be sure to ask in China, how much is the shipping size can allow, to not have lost more money.

Saw a lot of people in order to bring it all the way over hill and the red border, as Yunling national army library equipment expansion contribution, a pity.

Pudong International Airport

Aircraft from Chengdu to Shanghai for two and a half hours, the amount of time on airplanes is always passed quickly, while everyone complains about the meal on the plane, good taste is good but I think this meal, I was just on the plane and the stewardess identified no aircraft, such as smell wafting aroma of rice and driving the car, I was excited, her husband always ironic my good appetite, I don't know why I like airplane meals, this is an integral part of the trip, I like the feeling of the journey, so that like aircraft, only.

Aircraft flying over in Shanghai, here is a piece of the lights of the sea, really can't imagine a city if dark is how scenes, although will be sky stars, after all too lonely? go in fashion and luxury of the Pudong airport, her husband that return a civilized society, feel really good. Yes, we have been inseparable from the convenient way of life without the ablaze of city life, although we often miss the funky and original to our senses, we often will escape from the bustling, but eventually will come back, just like now we finally into the bustling city of excitement is not inferior to the original our departed.

They say that this comparison is the owner, things are not necessarily cheaper than others, but something must have been good. We wanted to compatriot should not be alien hoodwinked us! say, almost everything, we also do some shopping for hand letter. So for lunch before the store bought large wallet, after lunch, go back and buy a scarf shawl. The price is to be severely cut, I almost didn't make the transaction. Bought something more than RS 8600, want to 8000 close, shops or die is not willing, in the end I resorted to a killer, things a drop on the go. Out the door, he still loose mouth, RS. 8000. Our lunch at LP recommended Japan eat vegetable KOTO. The taste is very good, free of barley. This would point to the Lake, but window shopping or delay for a time, it was already too late that can only give up. In addition all change rupees is not very much, we judged to be the cash on hand, feel that it is not enough. There is a companion in a store bought Thangka, shopkeeper to 1 US dollar exchange rate of the 78 rupee rupees into u.s. dollars, a friend paid in US dollars. Our whimsical, go to this shop to the exchange rate of the Exchange point 78 of RS money, if the change to the exchange rate of the Exchange, bokhara will than Canada. Take the Renminbi, exchange rate of the day is 10.31 stickers, but we estimate that in all of the exchange rate is higher than 11.40, that time has been working in the appreciation of RMB. This gap is still very large. Us $ gap didn't so much, if the exchange rate change or 78. But the shopkeeper must we then buy something before. The rest of us have no interest to Thangka also. Last thought to go to the "I love Kashmir" try, shopkeeper asked the Bank exchange rates that can be changed to 78 exchange rate agreed. We had a few hundred dollars, and become rich overnight. The shopkeeper or very good. The afternoon also incidentally found a taxi on the tomorrow morning to Sarangkot Mulberry ran Kut and Begnas Tal-gnas Lake car money. We only have four people went to see the Sunrise, so a taxi. See our predecessors Raiders 700-800 rupee Kurt Mulberry ran back and forth, around 10 km, but it seems that no one ever than gnas Lake. See LP, this lake is also from boccara almost 10 km, I'll talk to the driver about the price. End to 1300 rupees to these two places. Say good time he will be transferred to hotel to meet us. In the evening and six of them in the Lemon Tree eat, blackout, comes a candlelight dinner. Return to hotel after dinner, continue to power outages, to bed early.

February 2010 Nepal-kink dream tour (6)

Lunch is only 2 points, we began to worry about tomorrow's arrangement, what I'm going to do the first time while traveling to do nothing.

And just when you know Chinese gliding girl we strongly recommend the poon hill walking, particularly interesting. Two more shaken, after full consideration, struggled thereafter, we decided to shoot-trekking to!!

Trekking (accurate translation words should be hard and long distance hiking) can let you in just a few days to discover the different climate zones and ecological environment, you can see the sunrise in the Himalayas.

Generally do not have any experience, physical nor them will select poon hill Boone mountain link. The starting point in the distance l 1 hour's drive nayapul, start here will normally be scheduled four-day trip, of course, the SCL and will play in Europe will slow down and the same distance schedule 5-6 days. General link points counterclockwise and the hour hand, two lines are the same, but in the opposite direction, the advantages and disadvantages.

Due to time constraints, we on the morning of March 2, 1, aircraft to return to Canada to live, and today is the 24th, 4-day link means that our 25, up the mountain, the mountain is 28, then bokhara live night until 1 March morning catch the greenline bus (bus only morning classes, 7 hour), 3 pm only to add, simply do not have the time to go to the essence of the essence — Bard posts, would it not be the biggest regret this row!! so we decided, 28, direct chartered bus to go to the mountain fatehabad hillock, which need to set a good condition, and ingenuity of taxi drivers, l-l-nayapul-Abad, a hard bargain the price of our 9000r hired a 60-year-old drivers who, left for us to go trekking, then we came back, and then direct to Bard posts.

Through the introduction of the drivers we found a wizard, 15 USD/day package. In fact, many people just hire porters, no Wizard, because the wizard requires the English border, but also to good cause all accommodation and travel, but also a tourist guide permit, potters would not have so much money, typically 8-10 dollars on it, in fact many porters can serve as the wizard's work, because the line is very simple, nothing can be designed. We are the believe a driver, use the wizard's money to hire a porters for less than all the way!! rubbing fire. First of all, on the route, we looked at other people's experience, weighing the decision to walk again, but didn't think counterclockwise Wizard insisted we go clockwise, said to his cheesecake, because earlier tianshan and snow yet, if you go counterclockwise on the second day of the journey can be very difficult to walk, so he's repeated insistence, we abandoned clockwise, while in another encounter, l on the young couple went counterclockwise for 3 days.

Our route: clockwise: nayapul-ullery-ghorepani-ghandruk-nayapul.

Nayapul – probably go 5-ullery 6 hours, in the Middle can more rest-lied, 10 a.m., and other Office opened the door, he opens a mountain card before they go off to nayapul, for over an hour of mountain, about 12 o'clock in the morning soon into the mountain. If you can run well ahead of the best mountain pass, so you can leave early in the morning, a roadside lied, dont miss. We bought that appear, letting alpenstock Wizard to help make good results he start to knock a twist over the head, exposing spring, scrap, and we haven't started up the Hill on the bequest tools! separate with him only a few minutes to find that he does not speak English, yeah, no, there are a few of few words, we asked him for most of the problems she can't understand, let alone answer, have started we also try to communicate with him, but then simply give up all the questions we asked later encountered other porters or wizard, listen to other people's English is so good, open price is 10-13 USD/day, really annoying.

Start of a very easy, there are many small village, you can eat, drink, and so on, until you come to 3, and 4 hours of time through the Canyon suspension bridge to the other side, began the arduous climb in the sudden rise in altitude, but always climb, stage and steep and narrow, seems to be endless, clothes have been soaked, dozens of meters are tired out of breath, then it is important to note that additional water, then sank to back a bottle of water to drink at any time.

Don't forget to look at the mountain River opposite you have traveled, great scenery. When you finally see the small village ullery, suffering to end, as soon as possible to write a backpack, a hot bath, then wet clothes into the furnace is drying. The accommodation is very simple in mountain areas, may be you can imagine the most humble rooms – 2 plank, 60 cm wide, with mat, a pillow, a dirty wet weight of the thin blanket, sometimes no one can put things in the table. So bring sleeping bag becomes necessary, at least to bring a sleeping bag liner, unless you don't mind pillows and quilts, light yellow or dark brown hair traces and tichou. This one-day journey that don't see snow until ullery Inn on the roof to see annagh temple that the mountain peak. Innkeeper is professional to advise you of the time tomorrow morning sunrise. General Hill accommodation two per room are 150-200r, as for how much money depends on the ability of your wizard. Also has a separate bathroom, we live in is, or facilitate, not less, 200r to another later asked to not even 250r toilet, a bath once a 50r. However people hired is potters, every day than our guide cheap $ 4.

The next day to get up early to watch the Sunrise, after breakfast, you can hit the road, compared to ghorepani ullery, yesterday, to more easily, no continuous long uphill, this time to the way you can see the mountains of fiery red azalea, very shocking.

The apparition of snowy mountains. Normal speed go as long as 4 hours you can reach, lunch (1: 00 pmPoints or so), if the weather is good you can see a row of snowy mountains stand in front of you. You can choose a rest, or you can go climbing 500 m on poon hill Watch the sunset. Our opportunity to catch bad, just after dinner clouds up, then it started to rain, mist, don't see anything, but always from the rain in the afternoon to evening under ... Boss comfort us, today it rains tomorrow morning to see opportunities for greater sunrise. Lying in the damp cold small bed, may be at issue, is always just sleep at ease, 2 a.m. wake up when the curtains, see fizzes, full Moon shining bright in the snow, just like the United States the film company's titles short film (what film company again???) I rubbed his eyes, thought it was an illusion, and then work out glasses look, everything looked really!! sleeping companions, not the heart to tell her tonight, I enjoy the beauty of the ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

5: 00 a.m., the wizard calls we get up to a knock at the door.

A lesson in advance, to see the sunrise in the morning was cold, we can be dressed up, lisancengwaisanceng, like two penguins, followed by the rest of the Boone mountain. 500 metres to the thought that should not be too difficult, but I didn't expect, multi-day mountaineering exhausted, eat well and sleep too well, no effort. Fortunately, there is a sky full of stars to accompany us, really, I never seen so many stars, and so on, only the bright two words to describe. Only a few minutes of Kung Fu, stars began to recede, it started to go off, we could step up the pace. To the top of the Hill, still almost collapsed, thick clothes into a big white elephant, which was soaked in sweat, early to rise now drink water, eat a meal nobody, station are unstable, fortunately there is a hot drinks stalls, a cup of hot specially the feel good in your stomach. Left, is waiting for the sunrise. The weather was sunny, the snow to fall into the clouds and the Sun appear pitiful we are out of the respiratory ... Every time I see the perfect snow mountain Sunrise — either in domestic or in here — I can't help that he will be in orbit in moist, very sorry, but really control ...

Watching the Sunrise, back to the Inn breakfast, 8 points we started down the Hill.

Today's ride is 19 km, ghorepani-ghandruk, slope, very difficult, from 3000 meters above sea level has fallen to 1900 m. Just walk from hostel to start a few steps to the mountains, there is no tall trees, only the Meadow, the left hand is the beautiful snow, there is a red azaleas in full bloom, we break out of the shutter, seriously affecting the forward speed, the wizard always urge us, if not quickened, afraid before dark to the camping ground. But he didn't last long 9 o'clock, clouds began to rise, a little bit to Vista with a great care, thenightbeingdarkandfrosty until the entire mountains are clouds around, starting from this time the whole day we have never seen snow, although we know it should stand in front of a direction ... Then start down a slippery slope, we seem to have been in the thick of the jungle walk through of the original cuckoo, the road is not yet fully covering the delivery of very bad snow, road conditions, because we are wearing are not winning the professional, often slip, so all the way down, half-way passing through several small villages, we did not catch many stopover because time is very tight. Probably from 11 o'clock downhill more steep, though we have alpenstock but knee or some of the pain. When the road has been along a deep valley and then go to intermittent water, rocks covered with MOSS, Alpine azalea ' remains faithful bout, which has been down to the bottom (we thought of the abyss), came to a rest stop of rhododendron filled, I've never seen so many so red so fruitful rhododendron forests, each tree towering structure, we trace the open big flower of the Saffron. Here our short break for dinner, and then began to climb the mountain, Hill climb a mountain ... Go to tatapani, start here, road signs, front is the primeval forest, prohibits entry alone: because this is Rob's high places, always sailed in the rapid adoption. We breathe a sigh of relief and then we ran down, apart from the old tree or a tree, each one seems to have hundreds of years old, the body covered with MOSS and green plants, which also saw a cute black plumage monkey, and Golden Monkey is similar, but the hair is white. The next journey due to excessive strain has some confusion, just remember that finally went out of the Woods, fewer and fewer rhododendron, legs have twitched, mechanically repeated down the campaign, the last before through dark at ghandruk chimneys ... A day of suffering only run this isn't. Live more beautiful flowers around the Scripture in the breeze, rushed to the chronology of the Bell, but room more dark, dank, no hot water bath, make do it 'til the morning pushed open the window, you see the fishtail peak and peak Annaba Poole that morning in the dimness, birds in the stands, and with perfect Sunrise, we ate breakfast in the courtyard. Then began a run of 5 hours. Here the road two mountain a quietly watched behind us, particularly in the 10 o'clock, it seems that this season only morning 10 o'clock transparency will better, then surely is becoming more and more water vapor, until noon is basically don't see snow. If you are going counterclockwise, this paragraph should be our first days on the road, and the day can see snow. Basic is the next road left hand is the deep valleys, walk to the River is nearing the end of the road to nayapul, great scenery, opposite the village of terrace and in the mountains of the layer, in the sunshine; comparison of different intensity, then go down 2 hours getting to see River, mountain snow huicheng's Green Green color, although the cuckoo has disappeared, but a higher and more strange red flower tree began to occupy the eyes, like flower, I'm not sure if this is not to get to end at noon, a worthwhile enjoy slowly. 13 o'clock we arrived nayapul, sitting on the cart to collect us boccara, the driver took us to a local restaurant quickly ate dinner and then go to Nepal to Bard Kong catch, because we too tightOn this day, if not possible and Bard gang brushed past.

A practical guide to Nepal tours-trekking article

Because I write a practical guide for lack of supporters, would also like to have accommodation articles, shopping, articles, some references to not set.

The following is the husband insists on TREKKING articles to write, his co-author, I am responsible for Add.

We are the 27 January start Annapurna Trekking small link (Naya Pul-Ulleri-Ghorepani-Ghandruk-Naya Pul), almost 2 and a half days to go down, physical state better than imagined.

26th evening delegate Hotel good English speaking guide and beifu 650RS/day charge.

Moreover, the side in advance see can see his English communication level, you can communicate with Trekking routes and itineraries, etc. Maybe a lot of friends will think the prices high, but he provided services we enjoy it, and the other at the end of the trekking to the tip.

27 October, in order to avoid the mountain 2000RS/person, 5 am half from lakeside hotel travel Naya Pul, taxi fee approximately time-consuming 900RS 1 hours.

The way in the Pokhara time met 2nd military police checks, see the visitor also release, no hassle. But because some information obtained, there is a way of rendering too worried whether Maoist will put cold gun proved to be unfounded.

About 6: 40 start crawling from the Naya Pul, just over the bridge to Birethanti saw the fishtail peak stands in Chaoyang, but as our front line, will soon disappear in the back of the mountain.

This beautiful, all the way from time to time encounter trade caravans and early pedestrian, 9 point half-eaten breakfast proceed. After Hille soon embarked on such a small link on the most difficult segment road until after Ulleri (about 12: 30), this section of the road is steep uphill continuously, and has been in the morning sunlight, soon feel very tired and hot Tea House along the way in, or hotel, complements the better water and cold drinks and, of course, drink prices also rise together with altitude. Close to Ulleri, discovered in the Valley Annapurna South, is open to the fatigue, the road is a little relief.

Generally tourists go small link will use 4 days time, will stay in Ulleri D1, but because the time is tight, guided tours with our continued to climb.

1 point, we chose a place you can see snow peak of the hotel for lunch, this is the longest Trekking in time consuming a meal, spent one and a half hours of food is served, I just point out fried rice, shops, a woman with a child, like boiled rice is now. After the road no previous paragraph so ferocious, mainly through the ups and downs in the Woods, but most of them still uphill road. All the way to keep up up, there is only one thought in mind, that is how Al-legs, arrived at their destination before dark, without any distracting thoughts, maybe this is the city a ethnic group pursues a relaxed bar.

All the way up to the weary 2750m of Ghorepani, it grew too late, is 5 pm.

Guide to our hotels, we scheduled time and around as though within reach of xuefeng twilight photo. After the sun goes down, we dive a bath, because most of the use of solar energy on the Hill, you must first have a hot bath. Comparative calm, discovery dinner here is the hot chocolate with rum, tired after a day drink 1 Cup, the very one, opened 1 listen to the canned fish, enjoy delicious Chinese. The hotel is good, only $ 3, another on China's people and 1 help Korea, restaurant gave birth to a very prosperous of firewood furnace, quite warm. After dinner and tour a little chat, very pleasant, the Convention tomorrow 5 points off to see the Sunrise Poon Hill, and then back to the room into sleeping bags ... .... The night have the mouse in the wooden floor, very worried about the food in the backpack is they found, had to get up and put them on the wall.

4 am 28, just knock on the door of the hotel staff that we get up 5 points slightly too, we again on a guided tour of Poon Hill climb began.

It was getting very dark, and must rely on the flashlight and head lamp road, walking or feel cold. The strange thing is that we do not have since yesterday's mountain and leg acid foot pain. Met a lot of peers who have local mountain people carrying food mountains. 6: 30 or so, climb to the top of the mountain, there have been 10 to individuals arrive here. Poon Hill hilltop smoother, only grass and shrubs, a good view of the mountains around viewing. A crowd of people waiting for Sunrise, there are many Chinese. Each stop, a little cold, but there is no wind. Horizon gradually rippled-belly white, ceaselessly each place photo, looking at sunrise, laments the beauty of the snow under the Sun, and emotions, until the Sun completely, there is a layer on the hillside just mist. You can see on the way down the mountain Pohkara fly small aircraft through Jomosom Valley, the tour guide told me General season here will appear the Maoists, but we are lucky to be in no (this could be the off-season, Maoist nor do such low benefit thing), back to the hotel, go to eat breakfast, row 3 people packed in a hurry to hit the road, 8 in the morning. Going out soon, a small mountain, blue sky, xuefeng and staggeringly beautiful green trees form a landscape, looked, distant snow-capped mountains in the blue sky, very beautiful, we consider here is the small ring road Trekking is the most beautiful in the scenery, but also some more as some regret not PP. Walking through the mountains, the snow has disappeared from sight, the slope is very steep and the slope of the road is long, very definitely wants to come here to upgrade is difficult. Afternoon 1 point to Tadapani, lunch is a small hotel in here to eat, but also spent one hour guided tour of a friend's Inn, patiently to recommend his massage, unfortunately we do not dare to, but he recommended Tibet Tibetan Bread (bread, is in fact the shehuo, very good, and domestic,But time is very slow). After lunch, proceed, compared to the morning mountain road is very comfortable to walk through the forest, the 5 point is not to Ghandruk arrived. Ghandruk is large, you can see the South and the fishtail peak Anapurna and closer than Ghorepani, but lower, we walk through the village took half an hour.

This night Ghandruk is new year's Eve, quiet village, during the low season Trekking, it is difficult to find other visitors, the whole hotel for our 2 people, with guided tours that we can get your own zhangshao? a positive response, we are also very pleased that the vegetable is also only the cabbage and potatoes, 2 kinds of raw materials with fried cabbage and potatoes were, to a bottle of beer, combined with the zone of instant noodles and DACE is our dinner.

This night is very quiet, no Spring Festival evening show, regret not having a small radio, fortunately, tired, also wash sleep.

29 morning wake up earlier, Temple of the outgoing music very early, woke up to see the sunrise.

The roof just the two of us, you can clearly see the snow-capped mountain trail Anapurna South, here at the xuefeng no Poon Hill surrounded by feel, but more recent, more clearly, coupled with the village of green trees, homes and more bring out magnificent snowy mountains. We ate breakfast "Tibetan bread", 8 started down the Hill. This way no major uphill, mainly along the terrace side path go down, say goodbye to the snowy mountains, across the stream until the Naya Pul, 12: 30. The mountain road, smoother, will test the GRF, unlike the uphill road tests of the heart. Returned from Naya Pul hit, spent 900RS Pohkara, 1 hour later returned to the lakeside, if you take the local bus, may save a lot of money, but the car is stops under the ' on ', will take a long time, and in the Terminal, l from lakeside playing also need 50RS.

2 half days Trekking in small link is first days on the mountain road is very tired, after two days of the day, maybe this path is suitable for not climb in the us.

You can also use and we take the opposite path counterclockwise, but mostly to 2 days before to Ghorepani, but this is hard on the mountain, with many ups and downs of continuous large, physical exertion is large, it seems generally do not use this direction. However, this approach would have the advantage, you are climbing towards the snow surface, will find the snow getting closer, as long as you have time to enjoy the snow without looking back. Along the mountain are good, cross the Brook, terraces, farm, forest, Nepal also very friendly, but the language barrier, Exchange only through guided tours.

Nepal Trekking environment of very good, a lot of Tea House and hotel, and the price will vary with altitude fixed by government agencies, not bargain, unlike domestic requiring considerable bargaining, ultimately most ripped; good sanitary conditions in the hotel, the same conditions failed to mountain areas; meals more clean than there are perfect for drinking water systems, I also drink outdoor drinking water, no problem; the Guide and look after our good, beifu US relations better; but every hotel meals prepared slowly, it can be considered characteristic of Nepal.

Next door is the paradise of hell — Nepal travel 12 (12)

2.14 Thursday Day 10, widening-cloudy, Kathmandu clear to cloudy

Walking in Kathmandu

Naga is a broad, is located in the hills of the town, facing the Himalayas, be able to see the magic mountain view and the Sunrise, the place will probably never be known.

However, for the allocation of people, there's nothing, because God does not help. Wake up in the morning, opened the curtains I'm disillusioned, the top of a cloud, in mists, also can expect to see what it is better to continue to sleep.

Na widened, really cold, than we are in the vicinity of Poon Hill 3000 meters of cold mountain, and sooner or later all the more so because it is estimated that this piece of small mountains alone, without a shade no retaining, remind haven't donkey to more clothes.

We live in a Hotel View Point with another good hotel Resort is next to The Fort, while occupied the commanding heights, but the biggest drawback is the door can't find taxi, we had to carry big packs come a long way before they were halfway to find a car going down the Hill by Jeep, of course, is black, the benefits are great, the car without previous days huddled Dadaists, after several rounds of owner doesn't allow us to 1000Rs paspa references to the temple.

Car out for a few minutes, two blonde stopped the car, apparently want to take our rideshare, Belle how can refuse the request, since the car was packed.

Greeting a few sentences later, we learned that they both are Austria, to Nepal is teaching, specific contents to guide local preschool teachers, rather than directly to the child classes, and they have been in India for seven months similar work! it's not easy, that European ideas and we really don't like, they do volunteers as a very common thing, but no matter how hard they are willing to conditions for this offer, this spirit is indeed commendable!

Jeep driver is a Tamang people, not many at first, all of a sudden in Belle after boarding, they began to dance of the stop when he starts talking but also completely open, we talked a lot of things, he said that he was born his father only 14 years old, and he got married at the age of 19, sounds a bit exaggerated, but it seems to us a maximum of early marriage is premature senescence, this driver is only 29 years old, looks at least had approaching 40! later we also talked politics, hair, religion, nationality, etc, but because the chat very rise of the old man's speed is slower, more open all hours is not open to Bhaktapur, let us patience and had to stop to chat, let him faster speed, otherwise it will affect our day trip later.

Vehicle to the road began to encounter large traffic jam, the driver was moving up the cleverness, cut a few trails, subtly to bypass the blocking of roads, however reach paspa references to the Temple also has more than 10 points, he should also require money, saying that he cut corners helped us a lot of baloney, preceding the time wasted by him, that we don't pick him.

Paspa mention temple as Nepal India Christians in the Holy Land, we have pressure root never go in to look at, despite the continued guidance we go to the ticket office, or only in the perimeter took some photos.

As for many foreigners are interested of cremation, our view is that this is a very personal thing and should not go to disturb the dying person's family.

Our next stop is won, if the references from paspa wear inside the temple, it seems that way in the past will be, but we have not entered the temple, you can only have around from the outside, along the way, many times, and finally arrived in half an hour later the famous large stupa, Pagoda of ticket prices, to get to know 100Rs, to the Holy Land of Tibetan Buddhism: a complete turn around a stupa of the runner, the side of the temple incense, devout followers of an ascetic, numerous, are evidence of this sacred place.

Remind in Nepal don't comment a living large Lama, don't put the religious and political links too tight, the majority of believers, he is merely a religious leader, and for Canada are full Street and the living as well as other types in a vain attempt to split China publications, we do as long as they do not exist.

Thamel from Baldur na to forget the car price, quick to having a movie Thamel, police, road closures, refused to bypass driver in the car, we can only discounted pay, even though the driver does nothing to say "thank you, sir."

Before going into the Thamel, soliciting a bunch of people to introduce their GH, in where to live at will without direction, we can find a restaurant to eat lunch, time is not premature.

Restaurant called Brezel Bakely, at the name to bread-based industry, but the taste good dinner. Use the time to eat, we quickly through the LP, finally decided to go to Hotel Horizon to see if there's a room because there are relatively quiet.

Thamel Hotel Horizon is located in the main streets of the South side was a city schools, the door equipped with security, the day that saw each guest will be very polite to say Namaste, on the night shift that is a bit exaggerated, suddenly stood up King a strange ritual, lengbuding scary, huh, huh.

We went double room is gone, we only want two triple room, a restaurant, offer 900Rs also to 3000Rs two rooms in two days. A short break, we once again set off with all core areas — du bus Plaza visited.

Go back to change money, and only RMB Ququ, there are a couple of small H, they changed us what exchange rate I am not sure that we for RMB exchange rate is 1: 8.8, than when you arrived in Canada are high.

We walk the route du bus Plaza is according to the recommended line on LP out of the way there

Many small spots, many monuments were drowning in town, don't have a taste. Intermediate to go through a local bazaar, a hilarious, we plan the next day shopping at the insist that Mart shopping around, believe something cheaper than Thamel.

Unknowingly entered into the scope of the square du PA, Plaza toll area is not large, but building a centralized, fare 250Rs, the overall feeling is as before a lot of people described, it is better to Bhaktapur and Pago Tan, square there is an additional ticket for the Museum, we do not have to go in.

The most attractive to our is living Goddess's home — the Gallery Mary Temple, living Goddess after 4 p.m. every day in the window open a moment, but you are not allowed to take pictures (LP says this "program" canceled, but we went again, probably library with Mary's guardian Plaza management agreement).

We arrived too late, in temples, and so on for a long time.

Mary temple inside the library is in fact very small, there are three exterior window on a gold frame, we used to think that libraries Mary is from this window to appear, you do not want to actually be in the form of a small courtyard in the inside, the results are the key to this fan's window. Almost 4 in 10 minutes, the small courtyard of the temple which is already a wall full of States, a woman first tourists in the window on the heads, made the crowd an uproar, and then a tour of Japan team asked us not to take pictures with loud, 2 minutes and the library Lady Mary was finally reveal the truth, lying in the window looked to the downstairs vigilant, however, at that moment, standing at the back of a European tourists (their entire team it is Eastern Europe, is not very educated, jumble) lifted camera ranches moment Ah, living Goddess dizzying turn away, never to appear ... Two minutes later, the former lady with Nepal language with that guide said two sentences, then tour tell you goddess today won't come out, please come back the next day, however! Halo there was 2 seconds the strong contempt for the European!.

By the way, if you prepare multiple entry du bus Plaza, can go to the library on the edge of Mary Temple not far from the Plaza management service for free, pass to us check out 5 days, although we subsequently did not go.

From Temple to the East, there's Bally shops, is said to be Nepal National only world famous luxury brand boutiques and luxury combined with classical, really has a lot of character.

Find a car to go to the monkey Temple, 100Rs, is the path to the test driver level.

Monkey Temple is located on a small hill, height up to Shanghai Sheshan almost half steps, followed by a very steep slope more than 60 degrees, the mountains have many monkeys and gain the name, but also could be combined with all of the commanding heights, watching the sunset. Interesting is the ticket office at the top of the Hill, and if you go up, do not buy tickets go in is the waste of energy, so can only be good for money. Monkey temple's main building is in fact pagoda, did not leave us much impression on it at sunset, not imagined beautiful.

There are two mountain small Featurette, a Ququ began to fear is high, all the way to hold the handrail to flutter fibrillation slightly down, because they feel sure there is no danger that everyone and no one to help her, like a fiasco in the following way, looking at her, took her "ugly", hehe; second, to the mountain I'm going to find a taxi, the driver of the first point I feel familiar, and even offer words are familiar with, he looked at me seems to be familiar, until small H they down, just understand it is to throw in the morning we left for drivers, beat it, immediately a blow.

Dinner meeting at the request of, go to Leena Third Eye Restaurant eat India cuisine is refined, environment, there is heating, waiter was very gracious, we point out India-"crusty", roasted spring chicken, not to be missed are the Curry, then we finally know not every India restaurant has fly pie, at least this is not the meal to eat a little bit of luxury, cocktails and drinks will have spent a lot of money, think about coming home, should also be some in Nepal good tasty meal.

2009 new year's day dish donkey visit Nepal-7, Nagarkot, to go back to the

1/3

From the morning open eyes see it not too blue sky that moment, I'm in intense ideological struggle: the end is the risk do not see the sun rise risk to nagarkot or Pacific point back to kathmandu eat sleep sleeping? ultimate lazy idea was pressed down.

It is based on the vision of the Himalayan Sunrise, but really do not want to return to the big farms to kathmandu.

Morning at the durbar square, the alley to drill to drill photos.

Next to the 55 winndow palace encounters a fat white old man appealed to me. He calls himself came to China four times. I guess he would like to say that in China was open to foreigners and early 1980s he came too, despite the fact that a Chinese in my memory has been blurred out, but he is still a vivid and clear. Maybe 20 years later, already is half woman, I also met a certain destination from the Korean or Nepal's young people. I have mixed feelings that I have ever been in your country, it was a long time ago. He/she's not interested in the topic, he/she hated being foreigners entangled in the past, he/her eyes full orientation is full of infinite possibilities in the future.

Check out at noon, entrusted the mountaineering packages on the map to g.h after the town of northeast corner found to nagarkot bus.

Many people bought the newspaper on the bus, while eating a peanut side to peanut hulls randomly thrown to the ground — health habits like any one of the Mainland of China town. I tried to please the woman sitting next to hand hold the girl to her a lollipop. Can she put the good hands of sugar in the Palm, and even the look was not much to look at me continue to work with her band.

Ticket goes up and down the mountain 25r, open, one hour after the arrival at the destination.

Stations in the hillside of a piece of flat open spaces, the mountain is only one of the dirt track, along all large and small hotels. Although the size and price are different but the location, see the scenery of mountain ridges should not vary a lot, whatever our go higher, of course, better. Apparently not so steep walk up quite tiring, several children to sell postcards, ps too blue sky snow vibrant hopelessly, followed by a moment to see I haven't the slightest idea you want to buy or give up.

According to the recommended Internet strategy, found a newer nagarkot besso.

Location in the green valley of the next point of view, a little bit below. First of all I looked at the 30usd room, quite a big jump: the extremely broad perspective, Himalayan peaks of the force. In my eyes not wise looks could do honeymoon room. Q is there anything cheaper, go to the next layer, view slightly down a little but as long as 10usd. Yes is here. Walk out balcony feel the breeze shanying in very close distance swam over. Facing Himalayas, mountain of color harmony in the days of background, continuous white peak seemed to float in the air in the abstract. Hill is China's Tibet. To Nepal's perspective: the Himalayas is the powerful Tibet, China blocking on the other side, bless her inviolability of guarding the Mountain God.

While it's still early to see the four working go wild.

From the hotel in front of a large terrace level by level to the next jump, skip to the new dragone resoet flat grassland before. There are people here barbecue, ten individuals knocking at tambourine with simple rhythm and singing and dancing, fishing, an idyllic village of leisurely scenery. See the new dragoneresoet seems to be quite a bit of popularity, decided to dinner is here. Point a banana shake and india set, serving, as always, slow, etc, etc, until an estimated FY discoloration finished running a bhaktapur buy two banana back time is sufficient, and eventually served my dinner. A look at it here: and there's no difference between nepal set, as is a large disc Center buckle with a bowl of white rice, edge around a circle about a small bowl: Curry cauliflower, potatoes, mushrooms and Curry Curry, mixed vegetable curry sauce, a soft cakes and a hard bread, sliced raw carrots and celery as salads, a small bowl lentil soup.

Always think they most love Curry, now realize that their love is inside has cooked crisp black blocks of beef or chicken, hot sweet tits Japanese Curry, rather than a little meat in front of this satellite does not dip, icy and salty and spicy India Curry.

Three and two with a bunch of curry and vegetables, get back to the hotel before dark. The quiet, nagarkot besso up and down as if I'm the only one guest, and a year in the case of demnoen saduak?! evening at six very punctual and start a power outage. Even the capital kathmandu is the iron every day to stop 10 ~ 12 hours of electricity, other local pilots. This states bluntly is resource-poor, support does more than 20 million people and a large foreign population have electrified modern way of life. Although in theory there is rich in water resources, but the required huge amounts of frontloaded makes actual use or exploitation of the foreseeable future. No, no TV, xianshu of course under no blackouts may candle in front of the TV. Cold, the two bed quilts together, but start sleeping. In Nepal I've played like ancient peasant after sunrise sunset and interest-bearing life. Really boring.

1/4

5 point half-awake, the outside is black.

Continue to be head Lai for almost an hour it was only gradually whiten. Wearing two layers of thermal underwear, socks, hat, scarf, armed to the teeth do not like to see the sunrise on the roof, the strike is going to climb the Himalayas.

Other people's travel notes: in the best ornamental snow of the season, early morning, beautifully arranged on the ridge of each building.

There are several tourists boarded early into the Himalayas on the roofAnd I'm looking in the direction of the Sun to look forward. Bathed in the crossing of the Himalayan projection over the first ray of golden sunlight, people who know each other so that the distance between the wave — how harmony, how wonderful.

The best season in 10 and 11 months.

But at the moment, although not considered a tourist season, but in the eyes of range I'm sure that didn't see the second person and they have the same early elegant. One wore large masks only reveal the two eyes of suspects in the early hours of running around, view on the roofs of seems besso was not sufficiently wide, simply feiyanzoubi, jumped into the green valley of balcony next door.

Winter fog was not a rumour circulating around town, Himalayan peaks of hidden in the thick fog.

Only see the round red as the Sun yellow duck eggs. Mists of fields and mountain paths, traditional clothing carrying a big bundle of villagers in search of walking, down more than a little taste of sunrise. Although not as pleasurable, it can be considered to have a nagarkot.

From current position to the South along the mountain road, 4km an allegedly can "around the eyeground" lookout, there is an end to the changu narayan's 4-hour hiking routes.

May this time my lazy King and up, actually chose to return to the original road bus bhaktapur. I always make such a decision would later regret.

Back to bhaktapur.

The touch sight, all King, was reluctant to leave.

In a Peacock window Wood Street come and go in the past, the first famous resham firiri "iterative, iterative and sing in the ear, listen to the ears of gas.

Wood, paper products, cyan ~ skin Hindu God of portraits, are quite characteristic of Nepal, the price is not expensive, but unfortunately I did not need. Go down to nothing, the result of g.h repossessed mountaineering packages so say goodbye to bhaktapur. Finally more praise a unique boss, a very not like businessman businessmen, do not give the guests a sense of oppression, of careful consideration but is still very young and handsome!

Returning to kathmandu of tamel, four find a place to stay.

Originally on the start of the holy land and no dissatisfaction g.h but because he was recommended to the people of khaki g.h pokhara, I, together with the holy land also produces the ill-feeling, want to change. You can run several equally priced g.h is not single room is the condition even worse than the holy land, toss a result comes back to its original place. Be the boss guys warm and friendly welcome. Khaki in that thing gave it wet, not mentioning.

Journey to a close, start purchase hand letter.

Tamel shops-intensive, but also for foreigners, offer to the world. Gorkha Saber price is high, it is virtual, the legendary hundreds of iffy r a root does not exist, the most rough list price is more than the most impatient 1000r! is a bargain, and even hard-milling tongue twisters to price cut down and later also risk being confiscated by customs. Finally find a home prices in the shop one-stop shopping a lot of natural essential oils, xianxiang, goes to the supermarket to buy tea, instant noodles to his passion for a certain Mr. m's with a glass surface, you can go back to fine a study, only tea is when the real estate (and very nice pieces is the box), xianxiang and essential oil made in india, glass surface is Thailand.

TIPS:

Visa:

The Office, in Lhasa RMB175/person, in the morning mail, acquired by 4 p.m., holidays postponed (with Cynthia's tactic of rigid foam, we were able to one day in advance get a visa).

If you have a passport, to put the old passport together with her, to prove that you have not visited before; the old passport lost Nepal, need an official certificate to prove that you have not visited Nepal ...

So, if you have N this new old passports, to avoid trouble, and in Beijing, Shanghai, do visas in advance.

Lhasa – camphor:

Nepal Embassy from Lhasa West station, walk for 20 minutes, get a visa to go just to sit in the bus to the bus station; or if you have money xigaze have no time, or at the Embassy with others at the entrance to the wood of the Charter.

Xigaze to camphor or nyalam bus there every day, season, winter, people belonging to the off-season before departure stop sign; therefore, 8 am, be sure to report back, told to the station you want to go to the wood of the conductor, so open the wood of the bus driver will go out of the station.

Exit:

The exchange of money, of course, is to change the camphor, we were changing exchange rate is 1: 11.6; drivers to help us find the Exchange site and transactions.

Camphor and KODARI friendship bridge is not allowed to take pictures of, more than two States undercover N back pressure bridge, want to stand in the middle of the bridge boundaries on the beat with a foot in both countries, or non-sterile.

KODARI Immigration Office, fill in the entry table is over, but still did not ask us or even mention also didn't mention 200Rbs fee ...

We guess that is because there is a wood of Chinese businessmen and we at the same time, immigration, and the businessman is almost daily to Nepal, we talked a couple of sentences, and Nepal officials may think we are friends again $% @ …% &

KATHMANDU KODARI – there is no direct Shuttle, shuttle to BARABISE only, 100 rupees; and then change trains in BARABISE, 120 rupees one sitting to KATHMANDU.

Sell tickets from the ticket sales guy speak English very well, very convenient; just because he was so eager, ticketing status was too far away, we take him for supporting the

About POKARA

p>

Because the ruling party has hair, not tourists climb to half the time jumped out to buy a road of money, so party construction costs it outright into collective climbing permit: climbing permits to run twice, one is a new TEAM PERMIT200 rupees per person, one is originally a personal mountaineering, mountain is a bit of checking

Taxi fare to NAYAGAL, 950 + 50 tips (too bad road conditions, we feel a little sorry this car) = 1000 rupees

NAYAGAL village looking for cheaper than bokhara potters also more professional; line price 400Rbs/day

Comparative labor clockwise mountaineering

Accommodation, like the previous station ULLERI HOTEL RIVERSIDE (you can listen to the dry small waterfall murmuring flowing water to sleep) and after a station Ghorepani a GUEST HOUSE (you can symbolically yehua, hotel boss, family and the Tibetan Mastiff, MIXED FRIED RICE and MUSHROOM SOUP is the way most delicious one, play at early morning sunrise in the Himalayas, and no person and you get points for 100 rupees accommodation cheaper than GHOREPANI, however because few people lived, bed there may be bugs, so essential balm essential).

Nepal travel diary 16Nov08

Our new Office in Nepal or follow up of Beijing time, so even very early morning won't feel too tired. But Nepal night really can't be described with a quiet, even as far back as the peculiar Mong country. Or because the causes of late is weekend, Mr Sher dance song of the night was also continuing to vaguely came from the garden. One night, I was in the village of dogs, cows and chickens scream over wake. Daybreak, the village of music once again, but this time is a lot of people together Canción a tune, I suspect they are in for a religious ceremony.

6 point called early, 6: 30 breakfast.

Bread, fried eggs, tea, jam, simple but also very tasty. 7 points, Mr. Netherlands, Spain, couple with me and ran off to ride along the River Canoe at the bird. The temperature is very cold in the morning, walk in with a slight haze of country road, breathing the fresh air, dreaming about going to the primeval forest, everyone face lit up. River Terminal has a lot of tourists waiting on board, our ship is assigned two boats, one in the bow of the command, and the other one is a hands-on boating.

In the river voyage feeling very strange: River this shore scattered Negro hotels and cottages of water, while the other side of the River is the peculiar Mong wildlife world.

A variety of wading birds in the animal world in search of food, and many early villagers in the other side of the human world laundry Division prepared breakfast, both sides of the life they lived together in harmony.

The River in the morning, very quiet.

We are not talking, eyes shore early birds. I think the time seemed solidification, it still only in the distant occasional several children cry before they will be broken, and then instantly restore back to a State of tranquillity. This feeling is usually in the summer siesta in half tranced dream. Of course I have a song in the album is also very good performance in this State. (The Zorro in China "in the" 05 ")

See the birds of the river lot, unfortunately I almost called out the type and name them.

There is a kind of bird is very interesting, they are only pairs of foraging in the River, or rhythm consistently on the shore with his tracks. Feel special, like a pair of comfy old couples go out for a walk together.

The boat went almost an hour, we at the other side of the jungle edge up on the shore, begin walking in the original forest.

At first I did wrong thing, but the guide but look very serious and we called together, explains considerations for hiking in the jungle. Highlighted when encountering a variety of wild animals when we should be protected. The jungle has wild Bengal tiger, the guide said that if we had the privilege of experiencing so only one way to go, that is "Pray to God".

Walk a few steps, he pointed to the droppings said, this is the rhinoceros to stay.

It seems that there is indeed a paradise of wild animals. The jungle has many paths, I asked about the origin of these road Wizard, the wizard says that these are all wild animals in the jungle walk much left behind. Wizard is a special vigilance, far away will stop listening to the surrounding any exception. On several occasions, he seemed to hear something, immediately under the banner of gestures let everyone do sound, not to fiddle with. So all people under body do squat, dare not even out of the atmosphere. But the whole jungle hikes, we only see the monkey and the leopards left droppings, but even so, enough so exciting. My first go into real primeval forest: they almost do not see the slightest human activity traces left behind, all can see are far away from civilization's pure natural environment. There is on the front of the unknown world of expectation and excitement. In jungle walk for about two hours, we from the estuary on the other side of the boat through forest. Walk to the River, ferry, Wizard tell everyone in front of the crocodile, we suddenly became very excited. A large crocodiles are lazily lie wetlands in and shore up sunbathing, who stood waterbirds are not disturb it for the rest.

And so to the ferry, we cross the River to see elephants bathing.

There is a stretch of the river side restaurant, facing the other strange Mong National Park's dense forest, to Andi on rows with chaise, we sit on it and drink a beverage, waiting for the arrival of the elephant. Fast, gentle people take an elephant we walked slowly from the River. Spend a few bucks you can ride the elephant swimming in the River, a few white people changed clothes just climbed up, and after a while it was moving up and down the elephant to get dumped, a white boy catch more tightly, the result is the elephant sucked nose water from head to toe in a thoroughly. Shore of people just like in the theater, applause, and then with laughter.

Wizard at our no down river, just take us back to the hotel.

Lunch is a fried meatballs with meat, vegetables, perhaps mixed with mashed potatoes (or face) and then by frying system. Eat when you eat with curry sauce, it tastes really good, ask the waiter, he said this is a taste of India.

In the afternoon, we went back to the original forest.

But this time you can go deeper, because we have a good mounts — elephant. I, a small and Spain couples ride an elephant. Elephant walk very robust, but sit on it or feel shaky, sit for a while I'll joke: while I may make Halo elephant. Sitting on the back of the elephant scenery really is a different perspective, see jungle are more far-reaching. Go is not long before seeing a bunch of monkeys, deer also appears in front of us, but deer hid in the bushes, as long as we near, they all ran into the depths of the jungle. Through a dense forest, in a broad manner, we finally found two rhinoceros. Rhino mother is with her child chewing grass. We rely on the past, in their side and watch them, but two rhinoceros has surrounded by several head like a blind eye, or perhaps they've been accustomed to this way of life, and eat the food also. But first, while we look at by elephant Rhino without any problems, but if people walking close to them is a very dangerous thing.p>

Leave the Rhino soon, I feel that my words fulfilled: I actually started in the elephant's back, eyes on drowsy only occur when animals and small scream is occasionally open in it.

Small said, she was excited to see deer, monkeys, Peacock, through a river of time is also very dangerous to a large crocodile. When the elephant down river gradually near crocodile, she nervously can't breath, but I am beside her, in a move to an elephant's back sleep! jungle ride the elephant's activities is being held up my NAP.

From like back down after we bought the hard banana kaolao contained our man.

The elephant's trunk is like a human hand anomalies. Keep out of the nose, and then nose point us in the hands of banana, schematic we fed it to eat. That acts like the child to snacks.

Our next stop is the elephant breeding centre, where concentrated feed in Nepal of the Asian elephant.

Feeding centres, star is born on just before 10 days twins baby elephant. Two little elephant shake in his mother's side, very lovely. Like my mother's eyes is the exception, always be gentle with children of their own. In addition a like homes, there is a 6-month-old baby elephant and a 10-year-old elephant, famous breeder has been watching them to eat. Elephant's main feed is a bale of hay ball, 10-year-old like one freely eating grass beside the ball, but whenever a 6-month-old baby elephant cou up eating, breeders will loudly denounced it, or even beat it with a stick, see I am not, I ask myself why it Wizard. Wizard, because the baby elephant of teeth no longer is good, if you eat grass balls, may be because stuck throat and danger.

Elephant breeding centre was a very very large lawn, almost four or five soccer field in the area.

There are a lot of happy children at play. At sunset, a herd of Buffalo from me in the past, where the rural scenery is so quiet and peaceful, far from the noise of the city, the person becomes quiet here.

Evening activities at the Tharu people dance, Mr Sher found a vehicle without the front bezel of the Jeep.

Us and Spain lovers, Netherlands brother plus a couple of Germany. Back of the car the groom sit so many people, so I and small have been arranged to the Assistant driving seat. The driver is a super crazy people, all the way to show Centre, the train speed miracle quickly and also constantly rocked, blow us all.

Tharu people performances can only be described as very general, stick dance and Peacock Dance is nothing new, unique impressed me is the celebration of dance.

Tharu people of carers, people singing drums national songs, a group of actors on the stage and torsion of a rhythm. As usual, the last show is a big Gala onstage. The sonorous voice of the people in the lead dancer with many in the audience of visitors coming to the Carnival. Mr. Netherlands while no power, but in the audience into his big long arm with rhythm hopping, excited.

The return trip is still a crazy drivers.

But somehow many many new passengers. I sat in the front row and small feel scary, and very willingly entered the car of the groom. But this is the car already sit so many people, and several people chose "hanging vote", just like online photos I see in India as the overloading of the train, a similar Beijing jeep's convertible without former retaining Jeep, actually pull on the 18 individuals. This is not the most crazy, crazy since the driver is still the highspeed turning in the country, even when not to slow down. Our jeep in villages and countryside all the way to run, all as ate stimulants, the bright star, screaming little known. This time even the Nepal country never let the chicken will not be able to help, see crazy Jeep ROAR came, they were shocked and scattered flee.

On this day, too full.
