Arriving
in Kathmandu Nepal was a shock – flying into the country we see
majestic mountains all around and the climate is cool and dry –
such a difference from the humidity we've been in for the past couple
of months in SE Asia. Stepping out of the airport we are swarmed by
taxi cab drivers (though we're pretty accustomed to this scene by
now) – we use the airport pre-paid taxi service. Our vehicle: a
1962 Nissan – absolutely no cushion in the ...
Pashupatinath
We decided to escape the hustle and bustle of doing business in Kathmandu city with a few day trips out to the interesting towns in the Kathmandu Valley. This is where we would gain a true feel for the Nepalese people and a greater understanding of their culture and ways of living.
One day we went out to Pashupatinath where Nepal's most important Hindu temple sits on the banks of the Bagmati River. One of the most important Shiva temples is also located here so t...
We had decided it was time to get out and meet the Nepalese city people to see how they live in comparison to the mountain folk. We did a number of walks where we rambled around the streets of Kathmandu to see what we could find and usually ended up in obscure places with no idea of where we were.
We walked south of Thamel towards Durbar Square through the alley of Tibetan Buddhism shops selling silk brocades and prayer flags, busy streets with markets, houses with intricate wood-work...

... to their death into the deep gorge inside the cave (story told by guide). As we entered the cave, the passage became narrower; we kept crawling to the falls with a torchlight in hand, lots of grumbling from the sound of us, especially from the ones with big bellies, whom almost barely squeezed into the low ceiling passage. In the middle section, we finally get to stretch ourselves a little better, about four feet in height, above us; we could see the formation of the snake ...

... hotel with a 180 degree view of the Himalyas and the Kathmandu Valley!!!! Its a hard life!!!!
We recently visited a place called Maiti Nepal, an organisation devoted to putting an end to women traficking in Nepal, and what an amazing organisation it is, it receives NO government support only support from NGOs and private donation. It is committed to the rehabilitation of trafficked women and trains them in order for them to be self ...
... Face gear. Today we booked to go white water rafting for 3 days and also trekking for a week, so we leave for that in a few days. Will be nice to see some mountains. Thinking of climbing Everest, but I don't have the footwear.
Will hopefully have some nice photos of the Anapurna Himalayan mountain range for the next entry.

... was even more of a surprise. I had porridge but it was topped with finely chopped apple and banana. It was delicious and swiftly followed up with an omelette and Tibetan bread! I certainly needed the energy because if I thought day one was hard (6 hours of uphill) then day two was to prove even more challenging. There was not so much continuous uphill walking but we were out walking for 9 hours. We left Chisapani early whilst it was still very misty and quite chilly. I ...

... not be thrilled about.
I laugh as a boy of about 16 tells me that once when he met a foreign lady who was 48 years old, he harmlessly commented that she looked like an old woman. To him this was a perfectly normal thing to say and not meant to be rude so he was taken aback by her strong negative reaction. "She was sssooooooooooo angry," the boy said with wide eyes and over-exaggerated intonation, and Surya laughed since the boy was one of his former students and the lady ...
... designed to part you with your money. I ended up buying a miniature library which includes 'Birds of the Indian Subcontinent', a weighty tome that goes into about a thousand times greater detail than I could ever wish to know. I also bought a book entitled 'People of Nepal' by one Dor Bahadur Bista; a scholarly work that I fully intended to digest and regurgitate in this travelogue, thus inflicting people with the impression that I am a learned ...
