The apple Kingdom of Nepal

The Trek begins today!
This is a top pick! Rob and I jumped out of bed raring to go only to find Rame still in the shower. We thought he was slack but no, he was smart. He knew that the plane which would take us to Jomsom had to come from Kathmandu first and he hadnt heard any planes coming ...
Annapurna Circuit - Day 14 - Forbidden Adventures
This is a top pick! ... will walk again tomorrow. After that it's anyone's guess. It's understandable in a lot of ways. With the exception of Kagbeni, everything has felt rather anti-climatic since the Pass. Things are much more developed on this side. Instead of walking ...
Rachel and Graham in Engagement Shock!!!!!
This is a top pick! After years of waiting Graham finally got down on one knee and proposed!! Perhaps more surprisingly Rachel said yes. I think we can put it down to altitude sickness... it all happened about 100m above Everest Base Camp (5300m - 17,500feet), after a ...

This is a top pick! ... is their first site of Muktinath. Fuck me, they must have good eye sight !!! We walked down some dodgy single track and into Kagbeni. Found a hotel, Yak Donalds !!! And had a walk around after a feed. We ran into Ryan and Megan the Americans, it was good ...
Views of Annapurna, Dhaulagiri
Some great views of Machupukhre, Annapurna range and Daulagiri on way to Jomsom air strip in Kali Gandaki valley one of world's deepest. Many treks from Pokhara end up here. Some then fly back. Twin Otters can use this strip so the Pilatus did not ...
My Himalayan Near Death Experience
... hard on the knees, actually making it more hard work to come down than to go up! Last night we stayed in a place called Kagbeni, which has a Monastary behind a hidden door in the Hotel, which has a huge statue of a Buddha, the Woman explained that it had ...
Trek autour des Annapurnas, Jour 5 à 9
... , rempli de galets. Plus je monte et plus je me croirais au tibet. Les villages et monastères tibétains sont légions et à Kagbeni je loge dans une maison tibétaine ancienne. La région, le Mustang, appartenait au tibet il y a deux sciècles, et ...
Fire table madness
... sand. It's quite hard going although it doesn't seem to slow us down that much. We reach our destination for the day - Kagbeni - after about six hours. We have, over the last couple of days, put in some fairly serious mileage. We walked about 25km ...
Le Mustang, porte du Tibet
Nous arrivons à Jomosom en passant par la variante que Cecile avait faite 2 ans auparavant avec son Papa et Philippe. Alex est emerveillé. 3 jours d'avance sur le programme initial, il nous faut donc changer nos permis de trek pour l'Upper Mustang. A ...
Nepali New Year
Sinead Day 12 Muktinath - Kagbeni Began our day at the holiest hindu temple in Nepal and was interesting to find the local Buddhist temple within the same compound. There were 108 taps all around the hindu temple, each of them spurting water ...
Reflections on Ngari
Ngari is the western Tibetan province and it is unlike any place i have ever been. We had an amazing time and almost everything that was difficult about it i wouldn't change at all because it made me really appreciate what i have in my life. THE ...
Himalayan Adventures Day 12: Dusty road downwards
... trail downwards through the villages of Jharkot and Khinga—both impressively built into the valley. We finally arrived in Kagbeni where we found a decent lodge. Our guidebook describes Kagbeni as a medieval village and it's not hard to ...

Up Up Up....some more UP and then too much Down
A day so narly and great it gets a whole entry to itself. The Thorung La is a 5416m pass linking the Manang and Kaligandaki valleys. Thats 600 or so metres higher than the top of Mt Blanc. It's a 1000m (3000ft for you oldies) climb up to the top, ...
The Life of Riley

Muktinath to Marpha
It was a very windy path from Muktinath to Marpha. We left at 8am and got to Jomson (a major town) at 1.30 for lunch. The prices and vegitation is getting much better here. There were a couple of checkpoints here and it was another 1,000m decent today so ...
Tatopani to Ghorepani
We walked 6 hours today, 5 of those were non stop. The 2 guys went off ahead but this suited me, im enjoying walking by myself - although Liz kept showing up waiting for me :-0! We left at 7.30am and the whole way was up hill - im sure you realise how ...
Chame to Pisang
We keep encountering walking desks and chairs, these nepal porteds carry the heaviest equipment up the mountain side and they are going as quick as us - it is sometimes a little surreal to look ahead and see a desk walking along, or maybe a stack of ...
letdar to Throng Phedi
Throng Phedi was only a 2 hour climb above Letdar but you have to take it so slow at this altitude, it is also very hard to breath. The scenary has been pretty shitty today as well but it is to be expected up here. We arived at the base camp in Throng ...
Pisang to Manang
Manang is the main town on the way up, it has been our target for the past 4 days and quite an achievement to arive as quickly as we have. The walk could have just been a 4h flat road between the two sizeable towns but we took a 7 hour journey which ...
Trekking in the Himalaya's
... tea houses - and ate dhal bhat (lentil curry) until it was coming out of our ears. When we got to the apple capital of Nepal - Martha - we had a few glasses of the local cider which went down very well. The second half of the trek was higher in the ...
Tal - Chame
Leaving tal was ok as it was so cold we all wanted to get moving, We got up pretty early as we wanted to catch up to the plan but a day ahead tonight - meaning we had to walk another day and a half - it was going to be an effort especially with the ...
Day 1: Flight to Jomsom and walk to Kagbeni
