Mount Everest Base Camp - das Dach der Welt!
Hallo ihr da unten!!
Am 09. November sind wir von Chengdu in China nach Kathmandu, Nepal geflogen. Wir haben uns gegen eine Tibet-Reise entschieden, da es sehr erstens sehr kompliziert ist einzureisen und zweitens extrem teuer ist. Zudem ist es sehr unsicher, was die Chinesen dort schon alles zerstört haben. Von einem niederländischen Paar …
Namaste!
So we left you last just arriving into Delhi Airport - what can we say, by far the cleanest and most spacious airport we have ever seen. There was even a Ghostbuster wannabe with a hoover backpack cleaning up any crumbs people dared to bring in with them.
It appeared that our bags we somehow already checked through to Kathmandu but seeing …
Namaste! Welcome to My Next Adventure!
Yesterday was our 3 hour flight from Kunming to Kathmandu! It was a pretty decent flight and I got the window seat again so I was satisfied! Lucky for me, I was sitting on the right side of the plane and as we were flying closer to Kathmandu I could see the Himalayan mountain range in the distance! I had been waiting the whole time to see this and …
Monkey On My Back
Another day of waking up at 630am. It is hard to sleep in since I have been sleeping so early and doing so much walking! I finally braved the shower and it wasn't so bad... Just took a while for the hot water to get going! We had a late breakfast so we could get an early dinner and avoid being out on the crazy streets too late at night.

I Would Walk 500 Miles...
I woke up again this morning pretty early and just lazed around, not wanting to get up... Until around 8am I heard horns blasting and drums blaring through the street. I ran out to see what was happening... And it looked like a big procession of some kind. Everyone was dressed up in their best clothes so I figured it might be for a Hindu wedding. I …

“Great, affordable accommodation ! ”
Reviewed Dec 7, 2012
From the very beginning we were treated with great kindness! The atmosphere is great and the owner and all the staff are phenomenal! Very very friendly, always so talkative and making sure you are comfortable and satisfied and have everything you need. They are always offering some tea or coffee and helping you out in any way. Was a lovely surprise that breakfast was included... Simple but very good! The rooms were very nicely decorated and clean and the beds were SO comfy!! I definitely needed a stay like this after some of the places I experienced in China! The location is also great 5 minutes to a bunch of shop filled streets with lots of great restaurants and cafes. Each floor also has a nice balcony to sit and enjoy the sun and mountains! Thanks for the wonderful stay! I would definitely come back!

“Elbrus in Galkopakha”
Reviewed Nov 9, 2012
We stayed there for some 2 nights before our trek and 2 nights after our trek and were happy with the guesthouse. It lies not in Thamel but some 6 minutes walk outside - still easy to reach! The hotel is run by Khem and he can organise quite everything for you (like every other travel agency in Kathmandu)
Breakfast is very good and they bring it up to any of the terraces ... which is lovely to sit outside and enjoy it while sun is rising

“Better Off Staying in Inner Thamel”
Reviewed Oct 7, 2011
I booked this place off of Hostelworld and realized once I arrived that I would've been better off just arriving to Thamel and finding a place. There are so many too choose from that are cleaner, more central and more conducive to meeting people. It is up on the 4th floor on the main road into Thamel. Not that clean but staff is nice and they did arrange for airport pick up.

“Friendly folks”
Reviewed Dec 8, 2010
Elbrus supposedly has the best hot showers in town. They are good enough, but don't expect Western standards. Ale who runs the place is super sweet and helpful as is his side kick Raj. Kam is more of a business man. All of them will happily help you organize any trip you might care for. For local standards it is clean, though it didn't look like the sheets were fresh. So be sure to use your sleeping bag. Internet is painfully slow as everywhere, but available whenever the electricity is not out (which is a total of 7 random hours a day everywhere in Khatmandu). Breakfast is very good. All of our demanding requests were met and we were well taken care of. At this price range, very recommendable.
