October 8th - Kathmandu, Nepal

We were treated to a stupendous view of the mountains as we ate our breakfast at Taropani that morning, which more than compensated for the sorry state of the food we had come up against lately. In particular, Machhapuchhre (meaning fish-tail on account of its twin peaks resembling the back section of a gian...

Off to the airport just before 6. Len is carrying our 22 kg duffle bag and I have the 2 day packs. It's not too bad going down the main street, but we have to go up a hill and above the airport. Luckily we know where to go and what to do once at the airport. We are check in fast and our duffle bag went through security - get this all you airport...

Namaste from Kathmandu, again. I learned this week that the biggest reason so many people look at my tattoo's on my legs is because it is very unusual for people in Nepal to have tattoos in that place on the body. There is a particular caste of people here that have tattoos on their arms and so they think I'm from some different caste but I gues...

Every traveller knows that there will be unknown challenges ahead, some testing of their strength physically and/or emotionally. One of the consistent challenges has to be dealing with people in authority---from police, to border guards, to government officials, to airline personnel and so on. I was certainly challenged by the Indian embassy in ...

Het heeft eventjes geduurd vooraleer ik de kans had om Kathmandu en de omliggende vallei te verkennen maar afgelopen week is het dan toch gelukt. Het is een erg gevarieerde week geweest met veel leuke, verrassende momenten. Kathmandu is een fascinerende stad die balanceert tussen verleden en heden, religie en het leven van alle dag. Deze vreemde...

I've been to Nepal four times. Each time I was there I tended to have a specific agenda...either trekking, or climbing. I've been drawn to the place over the years because of the scenery, opportunity for adventure, and the people. Also, I just feel at home in Nepal. In fact, if I had to guess who I might have been in a previous life, I would say...

Durbar Square and the Royal Palace in particular have more sandbags, barbed wire and soldiers than my last visit, which is no surprise. The tourists still pose with sadhus, prayer wheels are turned, bells are rung, Ganesh is still smothered in vermillion and the cakes at the Snowman Café are still moist and generous. Western T-shirts are popular...

Hello to everyone from the Mystical Kingdom of Nepal! We arrived in the capital, Kathmandu, on February 27th and instantly fell in love with the place ... I know we've said that about every single country we've gone to, but this time it's real, true love. In fact we love Kathmandu so much that we haven't really been anywhere else yet! We've just...

[written feb. 8, 2002] hello! so my time in nepal is almost up and it was entirely too short. having recently descended from having my head in the clouds (literally, for once) i'm finding myself missing it a great deal...the himalayas are a wonderful group of places full of wonderful people (at least, the part i saw was...but i imagine the rest ...
