This moring we endured another early wake up call at 4:45. We were piled back onto our bus and driven up Sarangot, a mountin in the Hymalyan range. We joined many other people waiting to watch the sunrise over the snow covered mountains.
When the first glimse of the sun appeared there was a lot of excitement and many a photo being taken. There was even a school group up there who decided to sing in the sunrise. All of which made for an amazing atmosphere. When the sun had almost risen ...
20.9.06 We were ready to check out of the hotel when Lynn said "One of the Bangladeshi guys wants your photograph". There was a group of businessmen from Bangladesh staying at our hotel and Lynn and Lou had been speaking to them about this travelpod and our journey. She gave some of them a business card, which I had printed in New Delhi, with my name and the web address of the pod on it. I was duly photographed by our vehicle and the gentleman said he is a journalist and would translate my tr...

21.9.06 Karma Guest house Pokhara There are many hotels and guest houses in Pokhara and Trek-o-tel was OK but our room was not air conditioned, so we thought we'd try somewhere else. We found the lovely little Karma guest house and it's owner Chandra Pun was most helpful. He organized a tour for the day for us in two Hyundais and he would come along as our guide. The first stop, Devi's Falls was a waterfall where a young Swiss woman by the name of Devi was swept away while bathing there, so t...

... This was all just the effect of the altitude but it was such hard work trying to motivate yourself to keep going. Em got a horse up a steep hill as she was struggling so much, little did we know how much further we had left. The horse ride was brilliant though, fun experience but did feel a bit bad on the horse! We struggled on for 5 and a half hours of freezing cold conditions, feeling so exhausted, sick, headaches and no energy until we ...

... Bhupi did not say a word.
I will not make the same mistake twice.
Kathmandu Durbar Square is large, busy and beautiful. Too much traffic with motor vehicles passing through constantly. There is a legion of tour guides on the prowl for visitors. One approached me in such a nice way that I could not avoid a conversation. Native of India, this young man speaks 6 languages including English, French and Italian. I insisted many times ...
... we rearranged for the next morning. We spent the afternoon on the lake, you can hire row boats for a full day for a fiver so we spent the whole day just chilling out in our rowboat getting a tan and having a swim, the water is so clear and the scenery was amazing so was like paradise. Spent the evening having a few cocktails and game of pool.
Got up early this morning to go paragliding only to find out it had been ...
... house at around 6 pm... at 4 pm we hired a Sherpa to carry our soaking wet bags for 4 USD. He was such a sweetheart, he kept trying to help us down the steep slopes and would protect us if he thought we were going to fall. He also would run to our assistance to help kill the leeches too. He even killed a big huge spider for us in our room before we went to sleep.
Anyways we got to the tea house and ordered everything on the menu practically we were ...
... managed to catch up for drinks with Jo and Simon where he regaled us with his university work experience which consisted of sourcing and preparing frozen ducks for firing at jet engines, as well as of course designing the system for firing said ducks. We watched a local schools production of Romeo and Juliet in a local bar and trekked up to a great view point over the lake at the World Peace Pagoda and found another of our trekking compadres who, much to Alex's relief, had also taken the ...

... nets to scoop them up. Ganesh says this is illegal but people do it anyway. Stayed in a nice guesthouse with great mountain views, comfortable bed, and hot shower. Slept well and awoke early to morning calls from the rooster. (Naipaul 1,765 meters to Birethanti 1,025 m to Hile 1,850m)
Day Two: Left guesthouse in Hile at 8am. Ganesh said it would one of the tougher days and it was! At least we hope it doesn't get much tougher than today ...
... but we finely made it back to Ghandruk at about 20.00hrs in the pitch back dark with only a few desperate screams for help.
The next day we deliberated whether or not we should hire a guide, but decided against it once we were told how simple the mistake we made was. the rest of the 5 days went of smoothly, but were hard work and thoroughly worth it as you'll see from the pictures.
Next time we go to Nepal we'll do a big trek but this was an excellent taster.
