Daman Kathmandu, Nepal
It was 11.45 a.m., Wednesday 24th October. It had been a 2 ½ hour walk to get here from Gorakshep. It had been a 9 day walk to Gorakshep. I'd been anticipating this moment for over a year. Huge numbers of people had generously sponsored me on this trek in aid of CHANCE (www.chanceforchildren.org.uk) . And I was there. I had made it. I was standing beneath the prayer flags at Everest Base Camp, arms jubilantly aloft and a massive grin on my face. A few minutes later, victory photos snapped, a...
Kathmandu, Nepal fishtails04Last night we stayed at Khumjung with the plan that from here we could visit the Everest View Hotel and hopefully get a good photo point of Everest.( In scouting terms we find a tea room.) The route should take us thirty minutes and we make an early start so that the cloud should not obscure the view. Although our route yesterday was clear of snow here the sun has not had any effect and we are walking once again in deep snow. It took us forty five minutes to reach the hotel and we order tea f...
Khumjung, Nepal helenseimsMi querido Pedro: te escribo desde la room nº 7 del Himalayan Lodge de Gorak Shep, despues de haber pisado el Everest Base Camp (o Sagarmatha Base Camp hablando en Nepali) y subido los 5.550 mtrs., según marca el plano, (o 5.630 segun dicen los guias) del Kala Patthar. Por las gafas de sol, la visera de la gorra y el pañuelo de los mocos nadie se ha dado cuenta como las lagrimas bañaban mis ojos pues no aguantaban tan bello paisaje... o porque me siento llena del inmenso bien-estar que te pro...

... more than 600 metres a day, ascend too quickly and AMS (acute mountain sickness) can set in. Day three of the trek is one of the worst in terms of height (700 metres) late in the morning, I was feeling sick, faint and unable to breath, each step was so ************ly day three - I had had a cold in Kathmandu and under usual circumstances I would be tucked up in bed with a lemsip not walking up and up hundreds of steps towards the ultimate goal ...

... mad. We hired a guide to show us round each temple and explained what everything was and what everything meant, we got so much more out of it so was really worth while.
After getting lost on the way back we got into a rickshaw which took us back to Thamel which was pretty scary as they just go all over the place avoiding people, dogs, car, motorbikes, other rickshaws and potholes! In the evening we went for a traditional Nepali dinner which ...
... honored the Hindu god Shiva who, legend tells us, liked to take a toke or two of the local ganja. So, cannabis is legal for one day each year in Nepal...for this festival. Of course, I had to go over for a look. Due to the throngs I was not able to get inside to have a look for myself, but outside the crowds, estimated at over one-hundred thousand, were very mellow and calm. Those zany Hindus really know how to party!
Kathmandu, Nepal marjorieandpaul... steep. The few trekkers that we met were also going in the same direction as us but some hardy souls were taking this route up.. Our destination was Ghandruk, a huge Gurung village spread out on a hillside and connected by thin cobbled streets. We reached it by lunchtime and, again not being in any hurry, decided to stay for the night.
We selected the Hotel Milan which had been recommended to us. The hotel had been voted 'Lodge of the year' for the entire Annapurna area for ...
