Top Gun (More like Naked Gun)
This is a top pick! The jeep arrived at 9.30, rather than 10.30 as we'd been told to pick us up for our tandem paraglides which made it a bit rushed, but at least we didn’t have time to back out! Bumping back up the mountain to Sarangot, I once again realised just how ...
Day 3, Chamje to Danaqu
This is a top pick! ... chocolate bar snack. After the climb, we were both hungry. School boy error. Should have bought shit loads of chocolate bars in Pokhara where it is cheap !!! We left the village and walked through fields with nothing in them. Wrong season !!! Oh well, ...
Sailing at the top of the world
This is a top pick! Another fortifying breakfast and, without much improvement in Dan's health, the rest of us set off to the water. Amongst the women busy washing clothes as usual, were several boats floating in a mirror like lake – paddlecraft, rowing boats, ...
Nepal Jomson Trek
This is a top pick! ... to its airport. Our initial plan was to do another 3 days of hiking and return to Jomsom in order to catch a flight back to Pokhara, but Virginia's knee was starting to bother her quite a bit, so we decided to end the trek here and catch a flight the ...
Annapurna Circuit - Day 3 - Explosions and I'm Fat
This is a top pick! May 11th - Day 3 - Ghermu (1130m) - Tal (1700 m) Total kilometres: 34 Today:12 "Bistari, Bistari" (Nepali for "slowly, slowly") "You are very fat!" (said with a big smile). - Almost every Nepali I seem to meet. It may become my mission to ...
Pokhara
This is a top pick! Pokhara and Nepal for that matter feel a world away from India. It is much more quiet, touristy and clean than India and the scenery changes quite quickly as one heads into the heart of the country. Of course, the change for us was not quite gradual. We ...
Day 7: Gorepani to Naya Pul
This is a top pick! ... two entire mountain ranges were spread out before us. Annapurna loomed in the center, while little fishtail (which we had seen from Pokhara) was off to the right. It was a panorama of the mountains we had been hiking around for the last six ...
After one week in Nepal...
This is a top pick! I arrived in Pokhara, Nepal, last night. Its not to be confused with Pokharan, where India tests its nuclear weapons, but only when the wind is blowing in Pakistan's direction. Pokhara is a laid-back little place next to the rather large Lake Fewa. In ...
New Year's Eve Pokara Style
This is a top pick! Waking up to dull grey skies and Dan looking very poorly having been vomiting all night was not the best start to New Years day. He couldn't get out of bed, but at least Dad was feeling well enough to get up. After another enormous Landmark ...
oh yeh, this is what Nepal is about...
This is a top pick! Day 87 ; Bus from Kathmandu to Pokhora today, probably one of, the most interesting and beautiful bits of travel we have done, Pictures will do the talking... As Jeremy clarkson said about a particular road somewhere I can't remember, the road was ...
mmmmm peace and ruddy quiet!!!
This is a top pick! Day 88 ; Took a walk around the lake, couple of hours maybe, got about half way round, well away from the main drag which was nice to see, would have been nice to take one of the little boats out on the lake and float around. Walked up and down the ...
Splish Splash....
This is a top pick! Day 90; Rafting in Nepal is definitely one of the best experience we have had so far, the feeling of just floating down a river in such a beautiful place. The silence sorounds you its so peaceful. The river flows really well so there is only ...
Bus run to pokhara reasonably smooth from ...
This is a top pick! ... his Ralka schoolbag and had that paraded up and down the aisle sqwacking in celebration of a safe crossing. Bonkers. Arrived 8hrs later in Pokhara to the usual madness of taxi and hotel touts. Got in one taxi and was joinded by 2 hotel touts. Got ...
Well it don't come much better.....
This is a top pick! Day 89; This morning we got up at half four to take a taxi and then half hour walk up to Sarangkot to see sunrise... Again, we'll let the pictures do the talking, also hopefully head down to the local market, 2km from here, see if we can't find some ...
"I Would Walk 5 Hundred Miles..."
... life walking from one place to the next) to Pokhara. Oh beautiful, relaxing Pokhara, even better then I remembered... Pokhara is an incredible lakeside town, perfect place to relax after a strenuous trek. Wonderful food, book stores and guest houses. ...
Day 9
Starting Altitude: 1540m Finishing Altitude: 2874m Hours Trekked: 8 So the guide says to us - "we're going over that hill today", pointing to this GINORMOUS mountain. We all laugh, cos the dude's gotta be joking right? Wrong. You can tell by the starting ...
Chame Arrival
... called the Marsyangdi. It is birthed high in the Himalayas, the result of melting glacier waters, and makes its way through Nepal before eventually joining up with the Ganga in India. We at times hike far above it only to come right down ...
Another shit story
... after spending a further day in bed, allowing my arsehole to recover, I was geared up to make the most of my last day in ''Pokhara'' and took it upon myself to join Vaila and Tom on a paragliding adventure. We took a jeep up a rickety road, to the ...
FREE TIBET
... have ever seen. (all my more recent photos are still to come) Then that was that and we got the bus from the park to Pokhara which is where i am now. I'll be spending the next 10 days trekking around annupurna with rose (which is some huge mountain - gert ...
Tahara Nepal Orphanage
... two days ago, and the journey here, guess what?... STRIKE!! This time actually on the road between Kathmandu and Pokhara, which meant that instead of the bus taking 6 hours, it took 11. 11 hours on a ridiculously uncomfortable bus, with ...
Manakamani
... their place or to buy suveniers. But we hurried to the temple. We actually had to fast that day. Manakamani is a very popular temple in Nepal. It's said that if you make one wich, only one, it will be granted to you. It was a small but pretty temple. You ...
Coming 'Round The Mountains
... true antithesis of Kathmandu. Where as Kathmandu represents an intense, sensory overload full of sound, movement and people; Pokhara stands as a quiet, relaxed and downright subdued place by comparison. It also helps that it hugs the ...
The Himalayas
... up to bright blue skys, green mountains/hills and just peeking over the top of them were white, rocky himalayan mountains! Fabulous. Pokhara itself it better than Kathmandu - there's a big lake and the people are friendly. Lots of tourists, ...
Første møte med Nepal
... i egen slendrene person samt brasilianeren Daniel, som ikke hadde booket noe hotel og var sjeleglad for gratis transport til hotelområdet i Pokhara klokken fem om morgenen. På denne tiden av døgnet er det temmelig kaldt, og da vi endelig fikk kommet ...
Chitwan National Park
... my stay in Bandipur Purna, our guide, picked us up and tooked us to Chitwan. It's located in the southern flat lands of Nepal called the Tharai region. It's completly flat, hot and humid, completly different from th ehigh mountains of the north, and the ...
Pleasant Pokhara
Here we went Paragliding by the Himalayas, which was amazing! We also did some day hikes to The World Peace Pagoda/Stupa & to some bat caves. We hired a boat one day, where we chillaxed on the Fewa Lake & went fishing. That was until Ashley ...
The Wheels On The Bus
... Surprising really that rice costs so little when so much work goes into growing and harvesting it. By about 2:30pm we had arrived in Pokhara, which is much larger than I anticipated. It is not as busy as Kathmandu but there is still a fair amount of ...
From Tibet to Nepal,
From TIBET we took the harrowing drive to NEPAL this was certainly an experience we will never forget there was a sheer drop and the 4X4 was alarmingly close to the edge. This was the only day of the whole trip that we didn't feel safe. It wasn't for ...
Rafting und Safari
Schon nach einem Tag relaxen in Kathmandu wurden wir ungeduldig. Wir wollten noch mehr von diesem spannenden Nepal sehen. Maerssu war genuegend ueberzeugend und wir machten ein Rafting. Es hat sich gelohnt, das Rafting war abwechslungsreich. Vom ...
We're on flat land in Pokhara
... out and we rested our aching legs in a natural hot spring down by the river with the monkeys. Which brings us to here in Pokhara where we spend two days, last night being our final in the tents. We have said our goodbyes to the porters and the ...
