Back to Kathmandu

After 3 nights in Chitwan we took the bus to Kathmandu where we would get a flight back to the madness of India- there was no way we were gonna spend 3 days on a bus to get to Varanasi !! We didn't do a great deal here over the next couple of days- we did a bit more shopping (it's Kathmandu...

Chitwan National Park

After Pokhara we headed south for a few days at Chitwan National Park - we hoped to see some wildlife. We stayed in the Traveler's Jungle Camp, which had been recommended to us by a fellow traveler, in a place called Sauraha just outside the park itself. Chitwan is located south of Pokhara and...

Last few days in Pokhara

We had a well earned lazy morning the day after the trek. Bhek came round and we arranged to go to his village the following day. By now the weather was just as it was when we set off, hot and sunny - what happened to the bit in between ? The next day we were up early to head up to Sarangkot...

Pokhara

So after returning from a relaxing few days at The Last Resort we took a bus (another delayed bus, this time mechanical trouble) to gorgeous Pokhara, for some mountain views and maybe (just maybe) a trek up into the Himalaya. We stayed up at the top end of the lake at the Vienna Lake Lodge, run...

Kathmandu & The Last Resort (near Tibetan Border)

Well, We spent a couple of lazy days in Kathmandu, booked into the Kathmandu Prince Hotel (a real bargain at US$10, the internet price is US$40 !!) and did most of the main touristy sights. We hiked up the 333 steps to the Monkey Temple at Swayanabath where the Buudha gave some of his teachings,...

To Nepal... (this should come before the trek blog entry)

Got to Kathmandu, Nepal on 20th October just in time to catch the end of Dasain, the Hindu religious festival. Un/fortunately (not sure which) we didn't see the animal sacrifices that day, which we heard from a girl called Reb who we be-friended that evening were extremely horrific! The band we...
