... stick dancing. Was a good few days and managed to see a rhino or two and some alligators although didn't manage to spot any tigers (in the wild at least). There was one tiger that was put in a cage after it's mother killed 6 villagers (or so they say) and supposedly fed this tiger human, and when it gets the taste for human theres no turning back and it always wants human! so it didn't feel very right watching it in this huge cage but it was certainly the most beautiful ...

... food poisoning took a turn for the worse. In the afternoon, we called a team meeting to get a pulse on their condition and make a plan for what to do about the pass that was now starring us in the face.<br><br>To be honest, when we first entered the room, neither Greg nor Chris looked good. Greg's ...

Mike's Entry<br><br>Left Chitwan to go to Pokhara though it took a 5hr, lousy, ******* the butt bus ride to get there. We were seated in the second last row of the bus again and so were a Dutch couple that had been seated in the same seats across from us from Kathmandu going to Chitwan the four us had a good chuckle, you again! The road was really rough the pavement more or less was one lane so when you approached on coming traffic the bus ...

... luscious misty green rich rainforests to dry landscapes with red and green bushes , snow capped mountains and pine and fir forests. Also the smells, sounds, villages, animals and people change. The trek is really easy as you have really good food and accomodation all along.

... and some of them really nice. The food was great, the main dish is called 'dhal bat' which consists of rice, curried vegetables, lentil curry and chillies but surprisingly there is a lot more on the menu anything form pizza to mexican. The trek used to take 18-21 days but there have started building a road which can now speed it up so it can be done a lot quicker. <br><br>Day 1 - Bessisahar to Bahunanda 17km now at 1310m<br>Got up early to get ...

... t have dorms, so till now I was staying in twin rooms alone, but this time I shared a dorm designated for guides. To Manang it was only 20mins on foot, so after lunch we visited this major settlement on the east side of the circuit to get the latest news on weather conditions. Actually today we met many people who after waiting for a few days turned back since snow blocked the path to Thorung La Pass, a critical bit of the circuit. If it doesn't snow in coming days, we ...

... 3330 steps, up to 2073m managing to meet some ex-British Gurkhas and see good views of hills, mountains, waterfalls and rice fields before stopping in Ulleri village overnight. The village was full of small teahouses and children eager to say hello and swing on the bamboo swing!<br><br>Day 2 saw similar weather (overcast and drizzle), and we trekked through forests further into the mountains upto 2855m stopping in Ghorepani for the night ...

... injuries to include some signs indicative of a spinal injury so it was interesting. She is at a hospital in Kathmandu and hope she is okay.<br> Today we saw our first 8000 M peak, Manaslu...and we even got a photo with no clouds at the summit. Pretty cool. We are both doing fine and will add some pictures when we get to a more reliable internet site...can't believe they have one here!!

... guy told me he was in an arranged marriage whilst this one said he had told his parents he would not marry. So he then tried another tack. Looked up at the mountains and told me how he walked 2 hours down every day after preparing wood....etc....etc....but he was quite entertaining so I bought him a cup of tea and let him tell me about Pokhara. It was so obvious what he wanted though!!! Even when he showed me the text messages on his mobile from his "English ...
