First
Snow in the Valley of heaven-l
Sequence
Nepal is one of my first overseas travel dreams, dream start from 05 years trip to Tibet.
Felt a little more than ten days to go to Tibet and Nepal attached so that the two holy places is too short, too profane. In the decision only to Tibet, I think, Nepal, one day I will visit this mysterious own Kingdom, visit sunny boccara, white Holy Anne PMG, the Sky God Buddha of Kathmandu Valley, as well as exotic tropical rain forest.So in my first day of the cycle, the first spring morning, back on me away tens of km backpack, and again open the door, start a stunning and intoxicating journey.

D1-18 February Namaste Kathmandu
SH Pudong airport -Kathmandu (KTM)
Holding won tickets early arrival Pudong International Airport, there were only 11 a.m., 3 p.m. of the aircraft, a full 4 hours earlier! so early to the airport because I heard that there are tickets, airlines oversold, and it happened last October, the tourists on the ticket but the aircraft's events, plus I previously in Nepal air tickets through a wave N fold, so let me on route confusing system produces a strong sense of vigilance heart, came to the airport early to prevent your own original work, not because a few hours in travel initially frustrated.
Sure enough, I and ELAINE two is the plane early to the airport of the passenger, even to the front of the travel agency team ticket.
4 and a half hours after the Royal Nepal airlines take off on time basically. Sitting in the right-hand window seat of my relaxation and a sigh of joy, Kathmandu, Nepal, I. ..6 hours of flight, quickly arrive and walk to see the night white snow, but not very true, it is said that if you sit on Thai Airways aircraft, one night in Bangkok, the morning flight to Canada are full, you can see the eight 8000 meters of Snowy Mountain stands in cloud above the heap.
The NI propulsion, because the route and time, is unable to see this scene. However, I don't see snow, I saw the lights of Kathmandu mancheng, in night black evening lights of the pit was dotted with the mysterious Kingdom of ancient capitals!When the plane landed, has a, 9: 30 local time than Beijing time 2 hours and 15 minutes later, so it should be 7 o'clock in the evening.
After checking, salute, 8 points out of the airport, the airport some locals, looks like domestic airport service personnel, will be very eager to help you push carts or baggage, if you let them help, chasing after will give me that "money, money. Tips tips "and has been trailing to taxi. This is not the local currency in small nominal does a bit of trouble. Anyway, as a mix of all their own hands, adhere to the principles.Advanced EMAIL contact the Tibet Guest house accommodations Tibet offers free airport pick up service.
Sure enough, one out of the airport saw his name was attached to a piece of Solitaire, Nepal's services gave me a first good impression. Drive for about 30 minutes into the city, plus are full, do not know why, to my initial feeling, reminds me of YunnanTown. May be due to the rugged terrain, and the mysterious lights in the night. The car had several streets, see garbage piled up a 1/3 of the pavement, garbage in some dogs looking for food. There is no feeling of being in a foreign country, only pedestrians looks and wall text prompts me, already present in a foreign country.Open to TAMEL area, Tibet Guest House Manager, a charming smile, smile pretty Sabin's road "Namaste", took us to the room, and please pass our reservation tomorrow to bokhara Green Line ticket.
The evening also telephoned to the Point of View, l Guest House, tell them tomorrow we will sit on Green Line arrives in, confirming a reservation, View Point said to Bus Station to meet us.
Everything arranged, think about the first day of the cycle, a long dream and start smoothly and gently for himself wish "happy new year!".I'm in the spring of night first met you, and you won't let me watch you away, only to reveal the real rugged Street and the low door, hazy old alley, I heard red brick and sandalwood in there, are you? Kathmandu?
D2-February 19, quiet bogarra
KTM–Pokhara
5: 50 am, 6: 30 or so, and ELAINE go out for a walk and the other is Beijing time at around 8, but not yet fully awake in Kathmandu, we see and after a completely different Thamel, bending of quiet stretch into the distance, woodcarving of window frames, the low door a bit like the old Shanghai alley.
Passerby seldom, but see that we will smile say NAMASTE, and asked if we are not from Japan?In order to show that I am a Chinese, before going out on your own bag hanging on a full three Chinese knot.
But strangely enough, in Nepal, many locals would ask me is not from Japan. Don't know if there is a lot of Japan to Nepal, but I do like Japan,? Japan women have me so high?Because the 8 o'clock to get on the train, so can't seem too long, to go back on the road in Tibet a diagonally opposite the Guest House in dollars the rupee (1: 69), and returned to Tibet.
The other girls are in the Lobby waiting for departure. We want to make Tibet, for we Reconfirm flights for the return flight, but because we didn't bring a photocopy of the passport, and you also can't find photocopiers (power outage) only ticket Reconfirmation of shelf for a few days, bokhara came back.Several girls in front of their hurried Sabin for us, Check Out, pay for the room rate, fare, so unknowingly already 7 point and a half.
Sabin told us to hurry up, go here to the Green Line station to more than ten minutes. Show map, so that the location of the Sabin pointed out that the station to carry heavy package set off.A watch with compass function, a Kathmandu map, a mouth, three things that I can in Kathmandu labyrinthine alleys freely and with ease.
Walk about 15 minutes later to the Green Line station, we should be the last drawn guests. They sit on the top six positions.Maybe and many people: Kathmandu-strange-bokhara General routes, we are going to arrive in Nepal will boccara.
Is so, just to avoid and we like to travel with the Spring Festival holiday visitors, find a serene, if there are too many people, it must be all the way across. And I was a really quiet travel. Sure enough, the car only 6 people is Chinese.Enjoy listening to music on the road looking scenery feeling, let alone from on the way to the bokhara scenery infinite.
Nepal mountain still reminds me of the long-awaited ****. The car is very quiet, passengers may take in the scenery or in leisure time to think and meditate.12 points to a lunch place, Green Line ticket includes a lunch.
Lunch-environment is very good, in a hotel with swimming pool. The car felt really hot weather, the sun shines on a lazy feel, but delicious Curry give me awake. Nepal Curry Chicken, potatoes are very delicious, raw fresh sleeves, coffee is also very fragrant-soon. So in the sunny afternoon, Palm tree enjoy my first in Nepal for lunch.(The Green line on the map: lunch at the garden)
Lunch about rest for half an hour after 3 pm to bokhara, a car knows why the View Point of Guest House so positive to come to meet us.
Many Guest House, in the Tourist Bus Stop waiting for tourists, there are numerous cheap l Guest House for tourists it is worthy of "selected trance heaven".On the View Point of the vehicle, perhaps a dozen or so minutes later came to the area located at the Lake Side View Point.
The Guest House the original l concentrated in the second place, Lake Side and the Dam Side. In recent years the Lake Side against the fee WA Lake (Fhewa lake) and the Dam Side flourished, but the depression, many of the original in the Dam Side Guest House go openThe Lake Side. In fact, the toll WA Lake while Tim Mei, but the most spectacular, l is the snow-capped mountain, and tenderness of the Lake must and majestic snow-capped mountains such as lovers like dependent phase contrast is nice. So, you want to see the most beautiful sunset on the Lake, WA costs snow and shadows in a scene of Lake WA costs, but it is in the Dam Side here. Of course, the we later experience.In View of the Point where we live is 401 room, a room with balcony double room if the weather is fine, you can see the distant fish tail mountain, but the weather in February, because the transparency of the air, fish tail is very dim.
Think you can go tomorrow morning at sunrise in Sarangkot, nor too disappointed.Down while drinking coffee on one side and the boss Bicky discuss tomorrow's Trekking. I told him we're going to take 3 days to Poonhill small ring counterclockwise, he shrugged and said, "if you can walk"-I didn't understand what he meant, Of course, the answer "we can walk," he explained. Subsequently, we know we come across Nepal 62 years of snow, we plan the next day, the road is very slippery and difficult to walk, Bicky was "a real challenge to you," but because of the prior heard that Nepal Trekking difficulty not too, so I don't really care about Bicky reminders.
Later experience before they let me know that it really was the challenge.Bicky first recommended to us is a full package of the Package, about 100 dollars more a person, including the mountain license fee, packages of fares, accommodation fees, fees, etc. all Porter.
Can we feel a bit expensive, and didn't see it when you are buying Package Trekking, or just looking for Porter, 9 * 3 $ (RS 1890 three days), I think porters very hard, this money can be considered reasonable, so there is no longer a counter-offer. Also booked tomorrow morning from the View Point to see the sunrise in Sarangkot TAXI back and forth to and from the View point of the Naya Pul, all TAXI fare is Rs. 1500 in total. Folded into 48 USD Bicky. And so we all talk about after four girl down the stairs, they want to go 4 days of clockwise, so it seems that the respective tomorrow.See Bicky and girls and into tomorrow's discussion, we also sources exit.
View Point from the fee is only half a minute of Lake WA, we walked along the fee WA Lake aimless walk slowly. At this point the visitors rarely, WA Lake at sunset in the golden light shine, lining grey snow away, appears to be quiet and cordial. And our two first boccara, everything felt fresh curiosity, see Lake a tree with red flower-like plant similar to their own lift the camera plays according to, disturb a quietly sitting idle in Germany by the Lake. He was smiling at our two silly face flower shot right, the left really tempted, told us that the scene in too general a bokhara, and asked us to do research on plants. We asked very ashamed, he answered and said to him, we just want to feel free to shoot some photos. He told us he had retired and living in bokhara almost a year. In bokhara, so visitors should be a lot of it. Travel time units is the year, we are not afraid to imagine things.(Above: the first fee wa l.)
Farewell to Germany, continue along the Lake.
It was getting more and more dark, bokhara hotels and bars at this point, but very few, probably guests true season hasn't arrived. We chose the one called "Lake Side Resort" open-air bars, decided for tomorrow upcoming Trekking line corruption. Choose the wine for two reasons, one is seen here 7 p.m. a Nepali Dance Show "and" the second is seen here are set to point. Nepal's early years and we will not be the order, the package is quite convenient choice.Bar waiter effusive, know us from Shanghai said he looked "Shanghai Noon (Shanghai noon)" and is Jackie Chen (Jackie Chan) fans.
He said also like Bruce Li I guess it might be a Bruce Lee, Chinese Kung Fu star Li, Bruce Lee, the former far abroad than the latter. We call them today only two packages a roast fish is Nepal packages whole point. Eat down think fish, Chinese food has made it to the extreme, other countries, it is difficult to surpass, Nepal packages like majiami than in Tibet. Hehe.(Top, dinner and Jackie Chan in Nepal fans photo)
One candlelight dinner looking at Nepal cant babes singing and dancing, I feel really good, so take the cigarettes ELAINE delivery, two women in Nepal's Pub started tunyuntuwu, if in Shanghai, a woman in a bar will appear to decadence smoking may be drunk in bokhara this spring evening, SIP a cigarette at the smoke is dispersed in the candle light is a very comfortable and natural.
This one night, in the quiet of the Lake, WA costs snow feet, I sleep so sweet, like sleeping in your own home in bed.
D3-2-Trekking on the first day of the beautiful Anna PMG
Pokhara –Sarangkot (sun rise) – Naya Pul（1765） – Gha
ndruk（1939）Sarangkot sunrise at 7 o'clock, and from our House to the Sarangkot viewpoint at the foot of the sunrise to 40 minutes or so, 5: 30, about good TAXI at the front, we View Point.
Open to Sarangkot bought tickets (RS 25/person), then the car sits on a local man.
This time it was very dark, Sarangkot it seems there is no one. Knowing that he is trying to make up our tour, so we can not deny.And walked about half an hour or so mountain road, less than 7 points came to the Hill locates source.
At this point from the Sun is about half an hour, not many tourists. Guide to us that most of the mountain on the left is the Dhaulagiri (Dhaulagiri, altitude 8172, World Summit), Dhaulagiri Annapura mountains and on the right, Fishtail (altitude 6977) seem very clearly. Fishtail's tip of the graphic as a sign of Nepal mountaineering.7 point, heard the voice of noisy, Sarangkot is one of the tour itinerary attractions has expected that there will be a large number of pedestrians.
7: 20 minutes or so, in the East of the Sun at the West and the Fishtail hilltop Annapura slowly lit into gold, Annapura peaks and the fishtail peak of sharp corners and formed a beautiful arc, snowy mountains embrace of bokhara and opened a brand new day. Station in Sarangkot Vantage, I miss the Yunnan feilai Temple, Meili snow mountain sunrise in my mind the first branded is the deepest scars. Since then, so far, no other snow-capped mountain Sunrise let me shaken and moved.(Above: the fill tail at sunrise mountain)
(Above: sunrise over the Himalayas)
8: 30 am we went down the Hill, ask tour to give him a number of tips, he said, to casually we give when we gave him $ 1, he said little, General $ 10 others give him or 20 dollars, we give him a dollar, told him the most.
He said at least going to give him $ 5. You can see we do not give meaning, there is no longer recoverable.9 points back to the VIEW POINT, Bicky said we back some late, four girls didn't go to see the Sunrise so already start Trekking.
So hastily took baggage CHECK OUT, you find the lobby sofa sat a seem a bit stiff boy, he is our Porter Dipendra. Dipendra skin dark like India movie actor, build people to Nepal than generally tall man. On his first impression is the perception that he is the kind of shy but can quietly protection around women's boy, later prove my intuition was correct.Car to take us to the ACAP (Annapurna Conservation Area Project) each person paid RS 2000 do mountain license (said to be more than 2 days of Trekking itinerary we must handle), photographs (1-inch 2-inch all rows)
Run the Entry Permit, the Naya Pul away, about a hour, arriving somewhere a traffic jam, but our car very easily revolved.
10: 00 a.m., arriving at the Naya Pul. Naya Pul is the starting point for Trekking. Next road will rely on the go.(Above: walk begins.
）The weather is cool, not hot, walking through a cable bridge after 11 o'clock in the noon, at Birethanti a mountain inn had a simple lunch.
To order, I have not quite at home will order, not in Nepal to order. Ask for a moment there is no set meal after casually to an insipid vegetable fried rice. Eat half, see Dipendra meals up, rice, Curry Chicken and potatoes, vegetable soup, surprisingly dishes while the assembled with small bowl, but the boss will continue by Tim dishes. See my mouth water, modesty and asked him how those dishes, which is located at the corner of the menu, and then silently take down, decided to follow the way point tonight, good to eat a good meal.Ate lunch, continue Trekking, but not for long, should meet our four girls.
Surprised, they walk clockwise, should not be and we are here to meet. I find that the traffic jam in the morning we met turned out to be an accident, they stuck in there for an hour, forced to get out ahead of time, and some means of went counterclockwise. And we arrived late because of the departure, the traffic jam when vehicles almost faster unblocking. Hear them say, from the traffic Department to take also the Naya Pul over an hour, and the road isn't good to go, so they feel very tired. After listening, irresponsible congratulates side and they said goodbye to continue their way. Their two porter smiled and told us that "we will catch you" Yes, tonight, our destination is Ghandruk.In the afternoon, as the altitude increases, the landscape a little prettier, Fishtail just before my eyes, and saw, Sarangkot Sarangkot see Fishtail is a sharp corner, but now is two sharp corners, more like a fish tail.
Nepal mountain is beautiful, climb a certain height down the mountains of terraces. Saw a couple drove their cattle in cultivated land. Heard many of Hinduism are cattle countryside to arable land, not the machine. Because the machine noise and weapon will harm mother earthSkin. Nepal were extremely love nature. This from them to ecological protection as well as the city and the people living in all kinds of animals.(Photo: Anna PMG mountains is full of terraces, it really was 90 per cent of national income of large agricultural country.
Anna PMG, according to a foreigner, she was ten years ago and now there is no change. Because she kept it simple, so is the escape from city life of the people of paradise. ）(Above: when you walk pass the village children.
）And domestic daocheng, Yunnan, Tibet many scenic and exquisite local hiking in different ways, bokhara of Trekking with Nepal-style lounge and leisure, to go some way to the mountain station of the wooden stool to sit on, have a cup of black coffee or tea, dot a cigarette, have a look at the scenery, and countries of visitors used the same word "Namaste" greeting, it makes me feel as if the Earth village.
Trekking, life seemed so simple. There is no cell phone information, no television, no electricity. No one knows me in the corner of the world have nothing to steal the music alone, I no longer worry about everyday annoyance with my dreams and people.The mountain road is the stone steps, it is easy to get, plus the first day of the manual is quite abundant, ELAINE and I have walked in front of Dipendra.
Dipendra carrying my large packages is not tight not slower followed behind us. Always and we keep a distance. When I asked him to rest, tomorrow's roads are not as well, he said with a worried of totally different, the road is slippery is very difficult to leave. But we still have no idea about this.17: 00 not arrived today's destination Dhandruk (1939), we live in a House called Trekkers inn Mountain Inn.
Trekkers on kind of corridor with many flowers, very clean. Because a public bathroom, so we need a 3-floor not Double room with bath (RS 160), with bath and the word was RS 300.(Above: we live in a mountain Inn, Inn Trekkers flowers pendulum full corridor)
It's still early, Hotel in addition to a call coming from Ghorepani people Tony, no other tourists.
So we are going to rest for half an hour to go take a bath. Sitting on the terrace of the Trekkers, face snow aside drinking milk tea also, smoking in Nepal I quickly turned into a smoker, you can return to the city but it is not the urge to smoke. Ask a Dipendra want, he said that the sentence why not? and pulls up a Chair to sit around us. This action makes me feel and our porter closer, the introverted boy, because when you've been walking trekking behind us, at the end of the day are still unfamiliar.Four people drink tea chat, one hour quickly in the past, well see the other four girls go here.
Dipendra remind us to go take a bath. Trekker Hotel water very very hot, very comfortable. Bath, it was already dark, go downstairs dining room for dinner, the dining room there is a large rectangular table, the table also baked on fire, let visitors warm feet.Sit down and point out late Choi, this time a little experience, according to the noon Dipendra lunch and ordered one, just put the staple food for a surface.
Serving speed and sure enough as legendary as slow, we continue to listen to the starry side other tourists and porters who chat, as English listening training. This evening, all guests TREKKERS have second Australia, Hong Kong, our six people, and their respective porters. A big table to hold us.Supper is very delicious, I taste surprisingly large, all meals ate, thought the hard way tomorrow, the early break.
The mountains of the evening was very cold, watching a layer quilt on the bed was a little worried, are going to go get a bed quilts, Dipendra up and asked whether we need to add layer quilt, if necessary, he get us. In a strange land is concerned, let me feel warm, so a careful boy.Covered with two layers of blanket, I embrace in Anna PMG enything.
D4-21 February Trekking on the second day in the snow, mountaineering
Ghandruk（1939）-Ghorapani（2874）
Today 7: set off, at least today to hear Dipendra said 10 hours to go.
If not snow, today's road for approximately 8 hours to walk.Year of the mountains before l was a heavy snow, is said to be 62 of the weather.
Because of the snow, our team was the only boy eventually did not come from Tibet over hill and we meet. I'm no snow hiking experience, only one was last year in Tibet to the El Shannan Prefecture Braco, at an altitude of 5000 meters, deep into the thigh of the snow away two hours or so, before we move a total of less than 1 km. Other memory comparison difficult hiking section is the complex cashmere daocheng cattle farm to the milk in the sea, the Group spa to Yunnan province where village, Xinjiang Jia den Valley to hemu. Today, after my foot hard history can be coupled with a pen, Ghandruk to Ghorapani of snow mountain.Starting from a, Ghandruk began to walk through the snow, and more deeply, completely do not see the stage.
Along the path of others stepped out, often slip foot often trampled, in soft snow and suddenly sink, the body to lose balance. Also good for the fall in the snow is also very painful, just winning and more humid, and walk. Who's that emergency pants from dark blue to be dyed Brown Xueni. P > over the past year is busy with work, ignored the exercise, in order to this trip to Nepal, small certainly includes also added a night class, now in bokhara hiking and they knew that they could drop much more powerful. The most striking comparison is my companion Elaine, she walks in the snow flies, out of my sight, I and Dipendra far behind. Until the break point, only to see her sitting there waiting for us.(Above: the rest point to a cup of hot Lemon Tea, let me forget all the footsteps of hard journey)
From Ghandruk (1939) to Tadapani (2721) walked uphill, there is a very steep slopes snow accumulation, every ten minutes to let my heart accelerates to wanted to jump out of his mouth.
Because they are too busy, no time before departure to buy alpenstock, if so, certain alpenstock borrow many dint. In the white world, the temperature should be 0, but wears under single-I am not only not cold, hot rolled up sleeves. Probably because the pores, I rarely sweating, need to expand the thermal area.(Above: 2007 first snow, is to stay in Anna PMG Nanshe love knot)
Dipendra was taken care of walk behind me, I walk, stop to accompany me to rest, downhill visor in front of me, let me not because the road is slippery falls.
I think if no Dipendra, maybe I could not walk the road today. And our two friendship also grow in this way.10: 30 arrival Tadapani (2721) rest; 12: 00 arrival Banthanti (2650) lunch; 14: 50 arrival Deurali (3045) rest.
Listen to Dipendra said that if we go one day, around to JHINU DANDA little of the hot springs or to more distant point of Tatopani. Thought richerby next time, be sure to go to enjoy hot springs.The morning after physical effort, great afternoon walk more slowly, every 100 meters will be stopped to rest a few minutes to look around white one, think of the new year's day 04 Huangshan trip, also met with 8 years of snow.
It is said that I hit tianma star moves, so often walking as a reason to travel each year, and each trip, are able to meet special scenery or character.Increasingly gloomy weather, I'm worried about before dark to a destination, ask Dipendra he and worry about voice yesterday, always smiling and said to me, you can.
I followed Dipendra learning in snow downhill method, that was sliding down the leg relax, anyway, preceded his stand, I fell upon him at that time even he knocked. In this way even slippery with the deeper way to let a lot faster, even up to the front of the number of visitors. They are from today to Ghorapani Ghandruk which rest point of departure, a day in the snow from Ghandruk went to Ghorapani, may we three.Met a glasses of Taiwan people, slow to follow an old potters, found retaining our road, give way to us.
See he was very tired, he asked him where to go tonight, he quickly takes the voice said: "Oh, tired, want to go to Ghorapani to live, just do not know can not be to me." Although already tired to do I, or encourage him, said should not far away, you can go to. He also used quickly to snuff out voice said: "I hope that if something is". Fat he look like on the heels of old porters is slowly moving in the snow, interesting canvas.18 point 44 minutes, go fast 12 hours after finally reached Ghorapani.
Live Kamla logde. To be honest, I'm cold and tired, does not have the strength to choose from in the morning to go to poonhill to see the Sunrise near point Inn. Fully hear Dipendra, just want to sit down and rest for warmth. Kamla is dark because of power outages. Nepal is very short, less power in the mountains, the city is also a blackout day. But the fun is a go to see a large furnace, two United States girls around the fire. And already soaked shoes off and put the fire Grill, stove is hot very comfortable, sit a while back about God.First point of the dinner, two United States girl enthusiastic recommendation we eat a call DIDO (tone) of local food, that is very good.
Waiting for dinner, take a bath, but water is not hot. Inn the boss let me say that water is too cold, a bucket of water over the barrel hot water in the bathroom to wash the face and legs. After the meal is ready, but the taste of DIDO is not afraid to flattered, Westerners taste really and we are very different.After dinner, and two United States girls and their respective Wizard sits by the fire to keep warm chat.
It is very cold at night in the mountains, leaving the furnace slightly farther I feel is not, and near the furnace but very hot and dry, I was in the fire of ice and fire and move between them. Two United States one of the girls have had to stay in Nepal for over a year. Their Nepal Wizard says China Japan Korea guests holidays are very short, usually only to be 7-8 days, as we have up to 2 weeks, but rather Western question a long time. Sure enough, there are so many Westerners like rotten in Nepal this hippy second home of the country. Borrow an old saying in China, rarely in Shu, old not Imadegawa, here you will be less than l, old from Nepal. The beautiful scenery, l and pleasant climate, Nepal-Yung lazy and leisurely pace, you can give to people who have no music.Wet shoes has not completely dry, put it in the downstairs to let it continue warming himself.
I went to sleep on the floor, barefoot in miles outside of the alien can be at home withIt felt wonderful. On this day the only regret is likely in the evening because of overwork, but slept well. Been dreaming, doing a lot of dreams, forget the specific plot, just remember my dreams have snow, birds.D5-February 22, Trekking on the third day encounter strike
Ghorapani（2874）-Poon Hill（3210） – Ghorapani （2874）–Naya Pul
5 am wake up and look out the window, see stars, today must be clear days, so get up to see the sunrise in the morning.
Didn't think Elaine isn't going to go, I'm the only one, then to wake Dipendra. And second United States girls together set off.Yesterday, the manual has an overdraft, plus any night also didn't rest well, Ghorapani to Poon hill Sunrise viewing platform of 500 meters, I was very tired.
Also fully understand why anyone would say in Ghorapani to find the closest Poon hill where connotation. We don't leave early, and we like to see the Sunrise is a small, old, increasingly alive team. Visitors from all over the world come together now in Poon hill thick snow upward-moving slowly through thick and thin.See a sign on the way, it was inscribed with two small characters "refuel" with a smile on his face, I wonder if the kitten is a masterpiece of our compatriots who, or the locals used to encourage the Chinese people.
Sunrise time is 7: 30 or so. Compared to the two days ago to see Sarangkot Sunrise, Sunrise Poonhill wider vision, Dhaulagiri (8172), Annapuran South (7219), Annapuran I (8091) here perfect far like a postcard. Just point and click to shoot out the magnificent scenery of sunlight mountain, so simply go to buy a cup of hot coffee, drink while enjoying the beauty of the eyes, do not like the others focus on the light and angle of the Sun.(Above: Poonhill to see fish tail)
(Above: Poon hill of sunshine mountain)
(Above: I and Dipendra)
On the way down the mountain went and saw yesterday met Taiwan glasses male, he still shaky followed the old potters Hill, I said, your physical good Ah, yesterday left so tired today can also climb to see the sunrise in the morning.
He and the day yesterday, or in the voice of the fast snuff out "Oh, but I feel very tired!". I asked him today is not also go to Naya Pul, he replied "Yes, this is what you want, just don't know what you can to" hold back smile and he said goodbye, today the mountain is likely to be found this interesting people.Back to logde has 8 point Kamla, after seeing the sunrise as spirit and appetite is good, deep breath ate a big apple pie.
Today's Road and boilerplate than yesterday, Dipendra, "very easy". The whole road is a road of down, but with the altitude of fast drop, the snow is also lost. Imagine if we select clockwise, this section should be our first and second days of the mountain on foot, and if one day it counter-clockwise to walk, so Poonhill small link, counter-clockwise with 3 days is enough, but the first day you can head to the fish tail peak travel days, counterclockwise is relatively small and don't miss the ideal for Trekking.(Above: on the way down the mountain, Sun, to disperse fog gives me into Wonderland feeling)
But down the road, and while good balance and a sense of direction is very bad I finally still fiercely fell.
The stone, climb it, I almost put Dipendra takes up, makes me feel so embarrassed, he said that my feet are relatively small, it is easy to wrestling. He looked at my feet and started as a child my hands to walk, so I and Dipendra like two-color of M & S chocolate-like hands all the way down the Hill. Hand in hand in the eyes of others, like a pair of intimate lovers we will never be treated as a colorfully? but live away from home for tens of kilometres of strange I, Anna PMG Holy snow feet and do what you want, like your favorite people, why care about other people's eyes?12: 33 arrival Uller (1960), is eating lunch, see Taiwan glasses men, and this time he sees we are very happy, is probably the way to go down the mountain, he said to me, "coincidence, and meet you, we really have a margin of Ah, Yes, now is the Spring Festival: Oh, I forgot to say happy new year!".
Then followed the old potters slowly continue down, every time I see him are so slowly, never seen him to eat and rest! really a though looks no mountaineering manual, but the spirit of the great climbers.In the afternoon of the road better go now, but I heard a bokhara today in the strike, we can't find back to bokhara car.
Dipendra of Nepal said anti-Government party, that is, to our great leader Chairman Mao Mao for Idol of the Maoist party of the most important people arrive Kathmandu, so national strike for a day. And said that when we walk in the mountains to see posters that say is this. The above date, calendar.Ask Dipendra, if today is not what happens to bokhara, he said then went to bed tonight, tomorrow and in the mountains have a car it is best to not go back to bokhara, waiting for us to first call the Naya Pul View Point to ask.
I thought the ship to the bridge will direct to worry about. But take it easY. 4: 20 minutes to get to the one called Bitethanti Sunrise's Lodge, here near the NAYA PUL very close, if you really don't have a car you can live here, there is no shelter NAYA PUL. And here there are phone can play, for we call Dipendra View Point, answered today does not find the car, but you can send the car early tomorrow morning to come meet us, to carriage return price is 1000RS. I think tomorrow back to bokhara, in the mountains spend an extra day is also good, let alone to bokhara is night, just a place to sleep, let it be even better.In the evening after the washing bath, open-air in Sunrise bar for dinner, there is the murmuring flowing water, a similar Golden Retriever dog growling at excitement, Dipendra said dog never seen there are so many people to live, so called so.
After dinner, the three of us walked to the other side of the River, sit down, in the dark smoking chat look across the hilarious, occasionally someone over the head lamp open, so as not to scare people.Three days of exposure, accustomed to Dipendra of Nepal-English, we own a limited vocabulary was silent.
About their hobbies and dreams, seen a movie plot, also hear Dipendra tell their pedigree. This was born in the northern mountain bokhara boys, home, in addition to his three other sisters and a brother. His father died, his mother was sick, as the eldest son in the family of his early take on the burden of life. Have ever been in Viet Nam, Malaysia and other places to work India earns. Now with the Sisters of the marriage, the mother's body gradually, although there is no previous hard life, but there's little brother in India reading needs his support. But life is hard, but still hold their own Dipendra. He likes Chinese Kung Fu, had to go to school for a year of martial arts training.Just chatting chatting, it was late at night.
Here's the low altitude, the climate is warm and pleasant, unique unfortunately dark sky didn't see the stars, the Western Sky is beautiful, but unfortunately it is too cold at night, is not this open chat idle. Perfection is always so difficult to reach, life is full of this kind and the kind of regret, so let's all enjoy Drivin of everything.Bedtime sidetracked, feel and mountains is destined in the distance, so this special love mountains.
Before each time the mountain, there are all sorts of adventures, but today's Anna PMG, wish to stay with me in the mountains to strike more 1? in this kind of happiness in a reverie about sleep.D6-February 23, promise
Naya Pul – Pokhara
8, View Point came from bokhara sent the car, we received very good weather, the sun warm Sun Microsystems.
Hiking up 3 days, is a Sun-like sunlight, in the car was a bit drowsy.Back to the View Point, know this for a few days to a lot of tourists, especially in China, if not we come from the mountains on the phone yesterday, surely even the room.
In the Lobby you can see a pair of Guangzhou to couples waiting room, finally did not live together, and our other four partners in the evening back to bokhara and no place to live. Again hugged us first to bokhara choice.In the View Point booked tickets tomorrow back to Kathmandu, back to the comfortable room has a shower, wash for dirty clothes, people also have a brand new feeling.
Go back to see such good weather, the decision not to call TAXI, rent a bike everywhere rather casually stroll.In their own Office and met Dipendra, he was troubled, has waiting for us to stay we had in the last day of l.
He hired three bicycles together set off.Nepal bike around driving direction and internally to the contrary, the road surface holes in the road a lot of cars, or need some stunts.
And Nepal is a country that slopes uphill ride unwieldy, downslope and special Jello, downhill, I want to open your hands, close your eyes and face the wind, let the bike all the way to fly.(Above: bokhara open-air restaurant, even the wind lazy.
）No one will Fall to the Devil.
Devil's name is Fall because a visitor fell into. It is said that there are some local men and women who will be the climax of this place. This aroused my curiosity, to go to the Devil Fall look, take a look at why can make people love life recede? love really so much magic? now is dry season, the Devil's water Fall is small, however and I read all the falls is Devil Fall is an abyss, falls, falling from height is not, but from the ground into non-detection of deep, with lots of little-known secrets.From the Devil Fall out and went to a nearby CAVE called Gupteshwor Mahadev, is the Hindu God Shiva snake incarnation, this is not allowed to take pictures of the camera to buy tickets with.
See the description of gate, where there are two parts, the first part is about 40 meters deep and the second part of the 100-meter deep, you can see the DEVIL FALL, but now it is monsoon season to close for four months.(Above: Devil Fall, is said to be lovers showed partiality.
Don't understand the bad for us, thought it showed partiality just legends)Out of the CAVE, we rented a boat, down boat fee WA Lake, I remember in Ghandruk
See a picture of snow-capped mountains reflected in the costs of the photo, baby Lake is let the boatmen in shooting point, the Dam side. We disembarked, sitting on the stairs quietly waiting for sunset. Unfortunately the weather in the afternoon into a cloudy, it seems that today is not likely to see the sunset. Mengmeng of fee WA fog Lake South of the taste of ink, distant snow clouds looming some waterfowl Lakes fast, although can not see the Sun, but now the King still so quiet beauty. The three of us sat in this fee WA River, watching the day in WA Lake gradually dispersed, time also unknowingly in passing.(Photo: our boatmen)
Dipendra took out two CDs sent us, because last night to hear us talk about Nepal Pandora songs.
Also said that night to please our dinner farewell dinner, took us to eat a in Nepal and India is extremely popular Chinese food, called MOMO (tone), listen to him on this kind of food is the description I guess, guess the dumplings. Nepal's dumplings in steamed and China as the meat and vegetables, but don't have the steaming water is boiled. Cook is a very handsome young man, a pair of bright eyes, and see us in to his photography, happy to reveal the Sun-like smile, we're amazed when his beauty, and he suddenly has an exactly the boy came in the original are twins and wondered if it is a domestic, packaging, can become a pair to reverse all of twins. MOMO and mutton soup with surprisingly delicious, I'm in Shanghai are not too love eating dumplings and never eat lamb, this time they ate double. This is the line until the most delicious food.(Photo: sell MOMO handsome)
After dinner, we are still sitting fee WA Lake, look at the other side of the island of fishtail mountain resort Golden night light blinking on costs WA Lake, surrounded by the quiet, even the wind is blowing gently, is not afraid to interrupt our remaining the short time I want to now this King in mind.
Anna PMG, bokhara, WA Lake, a date tomorrow, you can again?, Dipendra said we gone tomorrow, he'll miss us, look around this big boy, think of three days of inseparable time so that we are like brothers from strangers become, he is no longer the Poter, we invite into our Nepal brother, we are his Chinese DIDI. But in a blink to respectively, have a sentimental and nostalgic. I put on the backpack down Chinese knot gave him, tell him that I am on the day of departure is the Chinese new year on the first day, so I take a Chinese knot, want to travel well, now the Chinese knot gave him, hoping to bring him good luck. Also he says in the spring, we will come again, go to ABC with him. He said, looking forward to the arrival of the next year. I also hope that next year, they will realize the promise of this evening.Note
DIDI (tone) Nepal, sister of meaning
ABC: Anna PMG base camp on foot (Annapurna Base Camp), hereinafter referred to as ABC
D7 24 February goodbye, bokhara
Pokhara – KTM
We Check out half past 6, in order to catch the 7: 30 departure of the bus.
Never thought about building see Dipendra, etc in the lobby for us off, it's difficult for him to stay with us in the mountains so difficult Trekking, back after not good rest. He first met so silent, quiet for our luggage to the TAXI, waving farewell to us almost no longer speak to us. His cell phone in blue Chinese knot fluttering in the wind, and he's quite sad eyes. In fact, I also don't want to stay in bokhara, just a few days, then half of Nepal trip, there are too many expectations, no I reside.Return to the Green line season price 15 USD, so we had another Tourist Bus, called Golden Travels.
Driving time is 7: 30.All the talk, I was immersed in MP3 music, and farther away from boccara, I found was full on boccara and Anna PMG yearning, and docking it's journey is full of confusion.
Kathmandu Valley, just as you would like to I, l, the wonders and moved?As if God knows I don't care, bokhara car approximately less than 4 hours, suddenly no longer open.
Front wall was covered with a wide variety of large and small, Local bus, Tourist Bus, TATA (childhood India movies see wagon). Ask the driver or conductor "what ' s happened?" But that does not know. A car, walk about 1 km to go, we know what a strike. Set up roadblocks in front, back and forth of cars are not passed. Roadblocks have tire in the burning, many locals Wai together said something that looks very exciting.In fact, think of the Nepal Government was very tolerant, I see everywhere in the mountains of bokhara Maoist slogan posters in the Kathmandu Valley after.
There are three days of the second head of the strike. If at home, where you allow this to happen?Under the scorching waited about an hour or so, I first met strike like calm.
Thinking big about tonight and then back to bokhara. Other tourists seemed also don't worry, I even saw a European tourists climb to the rooftop solarium Sun up. In Nepal, Nepal is infected with the calm be calm and optimistic attitude. To be honest, I'm in Nepal for over ten days, seems to have never seen the local dish quarrel. Nepal, although theyAnd have not received a high level of education, but always one happy Smiley, sounds cordial greetings, humility and easy-going tone, as their songs and music, full of joy. While the ten-year civil war leave scars, now still frequent strikes, disruption in order of priority, scarce materials and energy, poor pious people, is also true of the other side of Nepal. Nepal is not a paradise but purgatory heavy body, and look forward to the wings of the soul in heaven light fly in.(Photo: strike scene, colorful cars is a child in India movie big every car TATA)
After a meeting with the tourists carrying a large bag small package from the opposite side.
Listen to drivers that take up dredge, not knowing how long to wait, so we have to take luggage went to the roadblock to the other side, then and in another direction of Golden travels on the visitors ' car. This way everyone can reach their destination. So we have back good size luggage, like collective uprooted and joking as they walked. In the Sun-bearing off 40 minutes, only passed up to the other side. Reverse direction of the car has not come yet, we put the luggage first roadside bus. I also took out in bokhara buy grapes, are mountain shade enjoying the sweet water again and many were, suddenly hear the grape driver shouted we quickly left and heard something fall into the mountains. So very sorry for fast run away, back to the latter view, it was at a loss, the original mountain has a little monkey walk, take down a little stones, drivers think someone threw down the Hill, the transport of dangerous goods is a false alarm. I guess I'm just my little monkey attracted grape, do not know the little monkey eat grapes?Without a will, in the opposite direction of golden travels to, also shattered the illusion of my back to bokhara.
So we all went well until the Kathmandu. In this way, we returned to Tibet after six days of the Guest House also has to see handsome Sabin. We put in bokhara ready passport and a return ticket to him, let him help us confirm tickets tomorrow.Have just returned to Tibet in the Thamel and on the way after 6 days before the early morning of Thamel completely different variety of small shops, with colorful artwork, see our dazzling.
Led us both to strongly desire of shopping, especially fond of Nepal – Elaine. So I put the luggage to go out into the streets shopping for the crowd.Quiet bokhara seems to have left me very distant, warm old Kathmandu Valley in Nepal will reveal to me another style.
Nepal's spring (travels & with Raiders), the Sky God Buddha of Kathmandu Valley: http://www.ctrip.com/community/itinerarywri/showwriting.asp?writing=969230
The first part of the strategy
I. preparation:
1. air:
Shanghai (Royal Nepal Airlines, took off from Osaka, with stops in Shanghai) every Wednesday, October 14: 55 flights take off, 19: 00 arrival (local time 17: 00).
Round trip fare price (2007): $ 5770Want to buy a new set of air-tickets is a row in the first and most significant difficulties.
I know in the booking process a lot of like-minded friends, finally smooth win ticket only two adults. Eight adults are difficult to determine because of delays in air travel or also in other places or with a tour group. May be they abandon the achievements of our last successfully obtain tickets. To Nepal's compatriots encountered after, except for a small number of direct flights from Shanghai, Nepal with a variety of methods of reaching Nepal: have come from Hong Kong, from Bangkok, and have come from India, from Chengdu to Tibet and then turn the Nepal, Guangzhou direct flight to Nepal (China Southern Airlines in January was finally opened in Guangzhou to Nepal's course), there are even come from Qatar. Nepal Airlines tickets buy reason one is special small (only two classes a week) and the second is Shanghai just transit point, the aircraft was proceeding from Japan large plate, the main reason is the golden holiday tours have set all the seats in advance, the fit is very difficult to obtain, directly from the air terminal.Total like ours get down off of air tickets in addition to prepare early in advance, also available at all costs, must resolve to persevere in patience and perseverance.
The following can be set to Nepal Airlines have direct flights with Shanghai of air tickets,
1. Royal Nepal Airlines office address: Shanghai wanhangdu road No.1 world wide House b, 405.
Phone 32140717 (very difficult to get through)2. Nepal Consulate-52661817/52661807

Tips,
> Don't think to Nepal Airlines ticket is all, there are numerous oversold flights. Shanghai started 15 points of aircraft, 12 points from early to the airport, until you get to the boarding pass is guaranteed to be hands-on.Return to three days in the local reconfirmations.
But even confirmed ticket is also does not guarantee that the check-in, listen to tours on March 3, say from plus all back to Shanghai aircraft oversold 80 sheets, see tours are a formidable enemy like early Check in at the airport we these fit more not neglected, sat, air plane to leave early to the airport check-in.2. visa:

3) Anna PMG Annapurna
Mountain Inn prices, equipment, etc. are more or less the same, select hot enough, the scenery is good, we had to go, so even the scenery of this request or you can save.
Is the mountain with solar power, hot water supply is limited, so order early as soon as possible of the bath, because serving speed slow (45 minutes). Mountain frequent power outages, headlight or flashlight to carry, even if you're just a toilet or bath, always bring headlight. Mountain Inn I think it's very clean, you can not bring sleeping bag, if you feel cold at night, you can go to a quilt.We live in is called Ghandruk Trekkers Lodge inn, the environment, public bathroom with hot water shower very comfortable.
What we want is not a double room with bathroom hygiene, RS 160/room, if you are with bathroom double room, health is RS 300/room.Also see the higher point of Annnapurna Guest House, on the Internet see someone recommended that good, unfortunately not.
Ghorapani live Kamla logde because arrives late, so do not wash into a hot bath, RI
Side of the room and the living of the Ghandruk House than a bit flimsy, I want to live in, it's a good idea to Ghorapani elect a comparison from POON HILL near point, because the second morning also climbed 500 m Hill to see the sunrise.2. line

Kathmandu to bokhara we sat in the Green line, plus $ 12 to bokhara.

It is said that Green line is the best and most expensive NEPAL Tourist Bus, was very good, and we came back to sit in the Golden travels over lunch are the quality and the environment. Highly recommend Green line, lunch at the open-air restaurant is very nice, there is a swimming pool, the food quality is also very good.From l to Kathmandu, Green line is said that because the prices to peak season 15 USD per person, so we changed the Golden ticket travels, 12 dollars per person, lunch also pack a, while it was true, and the quality of the Green line, or almost, but think you cheap 3 dollars is valued.

If just a sugar for a child's smile, why not give it.We go counterclockwise Poonhill small link, as long as 3 days to complete, if you add one day to go to JHINU DANDA spa can or to more distant point of Tatopani.
But like most people go clockwise, distance and 3 days of counterclockwise exactly, but to spend 4 days time, mainly because of the difficulty than clockwise counterclockwise, it takes 2 days.Others clockwise line
D1 Naya Pul went to ULLERI (1960m), altitude rises nearly 1 km distance to the afternoon is much more difficult to walk down a steep ladder; ULLERI
D2: easy walk much, as long as 4 hours at midday to GHOREPANI (2750m), live, go to the next day to see the Sunrise POON HILL.

Compare the clockwise, counter-clockwise than the schedule on which you want to compact, but it might be a bit tired.
In a day you can go to JHINU DANDA Spa.3. eat
I eat is not very high, anything like it, feel that what is good to eat, Nepal so what gonglue cannot write.
Recommended Nepal's potatoes, spinach, chicken, Curry and Tibet guest house in Nepal and Beijing Hotel of Sichuan cuisine. We, just the grapes mature Nepal, sweetness can and I have been to Xinjiang grapes, and is a nuclear-free. In addition, l Street to buy biscuits, packaging simple, inexpensive (RS 10-15), but the taste is very good become our breakfast a few days.Nepal everywhere can drink to the Tea and coffee, especially in the mountains, the snow to have a cup of hot black coffee and a cigarette, Jello to the pole, makes me feel all in the blink of an eye and pay all of the hard work is worth it.
III. other
1. Jet lag
Nepal time is slower than Beijing time 2 hours 15 minutes.
2. exchange rates
Exchange rates on a daily basis, from us $ dropped effects of RMB rises, our dollars than the exchange rate is 1 Nepal Lu: 69; the RMB exchange rate than Nepal Lu is 1: 9
Go to bokhara before in Kathmandu for enough rupees, as bokhara exchange rate are you sure you want to lower than a little bit of Kathmandu.
In addition the mountains to pay money or in rupees, the mountains some places are not dollars.3, Nepal over the two-quarter: the dry season and rainy season, June to September in the rainy season, the locals call it the monsoon, every afternoon rain, mist forever shrouded in the surrounding mountains, is not fit for travel, but there are some areas in the northern mountains of the Himalayas to the Lee side, not subject to the influence of the MONSOON, or keep dry and sunny weather, for mountaineering.
4. folk taboo:
In the face of the diversity of national cultures, deep-rooted cultural traditions, foreign travelers should note that some locals in taboo issues:
• Is Nepal's greeting "the mast (namaste)", the corresponding action is becassocked;
• Enter Nepal Temple, home to take off your shoes before;
• Be careful not to use your own used knife, fork and spoon or hands to touch other people's food or dishes;
• Do not use the feet to touch people in Nepal, which is considered a non-serious offense;
• Focus on clothing, especially female travellers do not wear the exposure;
