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.
