Pokera was an awesome treat after spending 13 days trekking through the Annapurna Circuit. We took the local Bus from Beni, only $2 for a 6 hours bus ride (although we did ride with goats on the bus). We arrived in Pokera and checked into the Snowland Hotel which I selected from the Lonely Plant because it said it had hot showers and after 13 days and only 3 showers, a shower was on the top of my list! Once we checked in we went strait for the closest restaurant and ordered up some pizza (whi...
Pokera, Nepal supervalStart - Finish Chamje - Danaqu Alttude - Ascent 1436 Metres - 2240 Metres - 804 Metres Distance - 15 Kilometres We had found out from a couple of Poms, who in fact were a couple of ****wits, that the group we had seen the previous day, were a group of 14 Poms travelling on a tour with a company called Exodus. There goes the lack of people at this time of year !!! We had ordered breakfast the previous night, so we were eating by 08:00. Much better to get it out the way and make an early start....
Danaqu, Nepal uncle_davrosThe last feared day - an arduous hike up 1800m. It's steps, steps and more steps for six-and-a-half hours to Ghoropani, tough and repetitive, up into cloud forest with a stunning view of the Annapurna range. (Clouds mean we have to wait till tomorrow morning for that pleasure.) This is a four-soda hike back up to 3000m. Today's guesthouse, Hotel Snowland, a tortuous extra 500m above the rest of Ghoropani, provides the best menu error with its 'soup, per bowel'. Back at 300m, it's cold again, ...
Ghoropani, Nepal williampotter... boire des oups et mager.<br>Allons direct au Busy Bee, car ils ne connaissent, pas. On boit d'abord un mojito, mais a 3 euros ca fait un peu cher, donc me suis ensuite rabattu sur le rhum et coke. Ai pris en snack des cheese balls, au fromage de buffle, tres bonnes ces boulettes. Mais a boire et fumer j'avais encore faim donc je me suis pris une pizza a la saucisse de buffle. Bien bonne. Puis Samy est arrive et s'est installe avec nous, avons parle et bu ...
Pokhara, Nepal emeric.bensaci... and we go into a quick spinning ascent. Man was I ever up there! The tower at the top off Sangrakot mountain looked really small and it looked like I was as high as those beautiful Himalayan peaks. I no that wasn't possible but for me it it was too high! We eventually start coming back down heading over Fewa lake where I finally remeber I have a camera with me so I get a picture of the Peace Pagoda and our landing site when I received my third set of mid-air instructions ...
Pokhara, Nepal mo_mike... masalate og kortspil (som alle de andre dage). Annapurna base camp – 4130m. Saadan Trusser og Ditte – godt gaaet – hold kaeft hvor er I seje og traette. Det var sgu da megahaardt at gaa op og endnu vaerre at gaa ned af det bjerg. Vi havde ingen problemer med hoejdesyge, men til gengaeld havde vi sindsygt ondt i laegge, ankler, knae og Trussers achillessene da vi dagen efter gik 9 timer ned – svarende til to dages trek op. **** hvor gjorde det bare ...
Annapurna Region, Himalayan Region, Nepal trusserdittei remember waking up and feeling like i just did 8 days of plate pushes with mark. i still hate that man. but todays climb is supposed to be the best part of this whole trek. You wake up at 4:30 in the cold and dark and climb Kalipitar a high peak that over looks the mtns including a great view of the peak of Everest and u watch the sunrise. We made it up there its another race about 15 of us stood on top of the peak while ...
Gorek Shep, Nepal timcarrier... place and are barely worth a mention in this blog. <br><br>What has changed though is how I relate to people. When I first arrived I knew nobody and felt quite nervous about being out and about on my own. I interacted with a few locals in Kathmandu, like my rickshaw driver who I still chat to every morning and the guy where I buy my water who now calls me "didi" (a term of respect in Nepali for an older woman), but apart from Nabin I had nobody to really talk to and even at the guesthouse ...
Pokhara, Nepal slw321... to Devi Falls which took about an hour only to realise we didn't have a bike lock so we had to go in separately! Devi Falls is a massive waterfall where a stream vanishes underground, it pretty cool as it sounded really loud and had loads of spray all in the atmosphere. We made friends with some Nepali guys that were riding on their motorbikes through Nepal who the looked after our bikes and one of them showed us around ...
Pokhara, Nepal chrisandem... view from the top of the lake, the mountains and of Pokhara. I had a lovely stroll down through the woods, around the lake and through some villages, across a river.<br><br>Nepalis are lovely peeps just like i heard. They are very friendly, welcoming, open people that always say hello and smile...withoot intent. I always get asked as usual 'where am i from' and they always say in return, 'oh canada, very ...
