(I apologize for the time space confusion--now we're back in Nepal) Signs everywhere say “Welcome to the New Nepal.” The Kathmandu Post runs daily headlines about the Constituent Assembly and negotiations for the new democratic state. Billboards on the side of the road advocate for the rights of dalits (untouchable castes) to participate in the formation of the new country. There are kinks, however, in the functioning of the newly self-aware civil and democratic society. Political parties vie to have their voices heard, and for the ten days prior to my arrival, the entire country was shut down by a bandha [View Full Entry]

The Wet - White Water Rafting Through the Mountains A day after returning from our trek, we headed back up into the mountains on another rickety bus, this time to raft the Kali Gandaki River with 16 other brave souls (made up mainly of Irish, Aussies, Brits and Canadians). We set out in two rafts and spent the first half hour learning a few basic skills. The first major rapid was called "Little Brother" and because it was reportedly too dangerous (several deaths in the last three years), we all got out of the rafts and walked around the rapids. This [View Full Entry]

Oh geez, I don't even know where to start with this entry. I just got back from an amazing week in a village called Phalebas. It was quite the fiasco trying to get there: 2 hour bus ride to Kathmandu, 7 hour bus ride to Pokhara, but then there was something up with a bridge being closed, so we had to spend the night in Pokhara. After a three hour bus ride to Kusma, we then had a 3 1/2 hour hike up two small mountains to get to the village. Phalebas looks like a cross between Austria from the 'Sound [View Full Entry]

Namaste from Nepal! Our flight from Delhi introduced us to Nepal's amazing scenery at 30,000 feet. As we approached Kathmandu above a blanket of cloud, the jagged peaks of some of the worlds highest mountains sliced though. The mountain tops were clearly visible and we began to appreciate just how large and imposing the mountains are. Visas to Nepal are purchased on arrival for $30. Obtaining our visa at the airport was an interesting experience. Having been unable to change our Indian Rupees to US $ in India we tried to do so from the currency exchange in Kathmandu Airport. However, [View Full Entry]

Well, I know ive actually said this before, but if I want to change my mind then that’s my perogative, haa! So, here I am in Nepal and all I can say is thank God! Nepal is like a breath of fresh air after the dirt and pollution of India. It is so clean here, the people are polite and extremely friendly, the scenery is beautiful and the only thing that spoils it are the Indian tourists that come here and bring their dirty habits with them. If the Indians want to live among piles of rubbish in their own country [View Full Entry]

Hello everyone! I've had quite a busy week so I have three new blogs lined up for you all! Having put myself through a great deal of mental and physical exertion in the past month, I decided to take a little break in the holiday city of Nepal: Pokhara. It's such a beautiful place- it made me realise how disgusting Kathmandu is in comparison!!! In Pokhara, there is a huge lake called Phewa Tal, surrounded by the Annapurna Range of the Himalayas. Early in the morning, you can clearly see all the peaks around- its just so beautiful! Not only is [View Full Entry]

After spending two nights at Annapurna Base Camp and trying to keep all my fingers intact as I merrily snapped away during the wee hours, it was time to return home. The first two days were a repeat of my journey into the sanctuary, but at Chomrong we turned west and headed through rhododendron forests and hillsides to Ghorepani. From this village, a pre-dawn hike up Poon Hill yielded magnificent views of 4 mountain ranges: The Dhaulagiri, Annapurna, Macchapucchre, and Nilgiri. By this time, I was already battling a wicked head cold and getting up the 400m to the top of [View Full Entry]

Davs i stuen! Kathmandu var en glimrende by, men nepaleserne maa nu godt lige laere at rydde op efter sig selv. Der ligger rimeligt meget affald og der er ingen skraldespande. Til gengaeld er her vanvittig flot natur. I Kathmandu saa vi en plads, der hedder Durbar Square, hvor der ligger en masse templer. Det samme saa vi i Patan, der er en naboby til Kathmandu, som vi tog en udflugt til for ca. 50 oere - priserne er gode hernede! Derudover har vi set Kathmandus vartegn Swayambhunath (abetemplet). Der var dog ikke mange aber, men der var ca. 500 trin [View Full Entry]
