Annapurna Sanctuary Trek - Final Day

Finally we were able to make a leisurely start to the day; sleep in and a slow breakfast before heading our way down the hill without hurry. Didn't help me though. I was up with the Sun, conditioned by the last 6 days of hiking. I went for a short walk to catch some last views of the mountains before coming back to the lodge to watch everyone Else' …

Fin du trek, quelques jours de repos à Pokara

Rien ne vaut un bon lever de soleil sur le Dauligiri pour commencer la journée ! Surtout quand plus de 1700m de dénivelé négatif attendent tranquillement de l'autre coté de la colline !

Ma douleur qui me gênait tout de même pas mal la veille pour marcher et encore plus une fois que je m'étais arreté de marcher semblait avoir disparu au ré …

Day 88-95 Max's Birthday and Chillin in Pokhara

Day 88

We were woken up by noisy German tourist discussing Nepal and how great it was. This happened to be in a different hotel to what we had been originally booked into. It turns out that the Hotel Holiday Grand, pawned out rooms in different hotels to maintain business in the area, what this means is that the average tourist gets fobbed …

Kathmandu to Pokhara (by bus)

Relaxing in Pokhara

Now we have a week in Pokhara relaxing. Its Nepal's second city but is completely different to Kathmandu. It is on a lake surrounded by mountains, there is much less noise and traffic and even in the busiest parts there are water buffalo and goats wandering along the road. Its charmingly relaxed; there are at least 2 power cuts every day, there …

Annapurna Trek - Etape 11 - High Camp à Muktinath

C'est le grand jour et la grand foule! Comme plein, plein d’autres trekkeurs, nous partons à 6h30 du High Camp. Il faut savoir que c’est vers 11h que les vents se lèvent au col et qu’il est préférable de le passer avant. Etant bien aclimaté, grâce au détour qu’on avait fait au Tilicho Lake, nous dépassons plein de trekkeurs …

Thorong La

Greetings from Jomson, where at "only" 2700 meters above sea level the air is thick and good....

We've crossed over, we've made it, Thorong La is behind us and it was spectacular.

So on May 11, we left Manang to set off for Yak Kharka. It was a short day, with a climb of just 500 meters, but it did fit the rule that above 3000 …

Sarangkot - I Think I Can, I Think I Can...

For our second last day before leaving Pokhara and beginning our trek down to the border, Danny and I decided to travel up to the top of Sarangkot - the highest mountain overlooking Pokhara and on the other side looking out at the Annapurna Range, part of the Himalaya. We caught a taxi, and it dropped us off at the bottom of a narrow ridge of stone …

Down in the Jungle

I'm sitting typing this on the laptop, beside the river at Gaida Widlife Lodge in Chitwan Jungle Reserve. It's another freebie so I can't really moan about the cost of the chilled "Nepal Ice' beer I'm downing as the huge orange ball of sun sinks below the silhouettes of the jungle trees. Not a bad spot for the evening drink! It sounds glamorous, …

Pokhara and Annapurna Sanctuary Trek

We hit the Nepalese border in the dark, later than anticipated and joined the fray to get stamped out of India and purchase a visa for Nepal - the usual bureaucratic process ensued. We then negotiated with 3 cycle rickshaw wallahs to take us the 4km up the highway to a hotel - quite a weird journey as Tim's man is drunk and he sings some weird …
