Mo's Entry<br><br>We felt rather confident after our rafting experience so signed up for some paragliding with Blue Sky. Three other rafting buddies decided to come too...so we were five. After all the safety instruction before rafting it was a bit shocking to arrive at the top of the mountain be strapped into a tandem parachute with your instructor and just be told to run off the mountain...that's all the instruction we had....run!! I was the last one out so tried to get a ...

... state we were both in. As we climbed more stairs to 3000m the views were simply breathtaking &#8211; snow capped mountains all around us. A walk down into the slate mine and it was lunch, although neither of us fancied eating at all but knew we had to for the energy. This really is challenging stuff, especially when you get head butted by a donkey!!!! We have to share the paths with the donkeys and you just stand to one side and they walk round you, however one didn ...

Ligeledes fortalte de os om det nepalesiske samfund, kultur og deres egne familier og fattigdom. Aldrig har jeg modt saa behagelige mennesker, som jeg stadig savner i skrivende stund.

So eventually, third time lucky we managed to go paragliding as the weather was great and Chris managed to lose 5kg whilst trekking!! We drove from Pokhara up to Sarangkot which is a mountain overlooking Pokhara about an hours drive. We did the paragliding with Sunrise which is a company we would recommend. <br><br>We met our pilots at the top, Chris had to go with the tiny Nepali guy to even ...

... br>The ride from the airport to my accomodation in the hotel shuttle was amazing. Not scared at all because I had confidence in the driver. He controlled the vehicle through everything in the path with unlimited talent.

... table chair and a bathroom.<br>Basic but just the job and the price is right, which is great because<br>in India we stayed in some nice hotels, which are cheap compared to<br>back home but expensive in the sub continent. We both really like<br>Pokhara, its a laid back spot and there is a great lake surrounded by<br>hills and mountains, one main road which is lined by shops, bars and<br>restaurants although most people here seem to be westerners going off<br>to trek and or do a bit of ...

Apparently, apart from the tourist boom which accounts for 16% of foreign exchange, there is one bright star on the horizon; Nepal has reached agreement with Bangladesh to supply the latter with Himalayan boulders to shore up flood defences and act as ballast.
