In 1951, the Nepalese monarch ended the century-old system of rule by hereditary premiers and instituted a cabinet system of government. Reforms in 1990 established a multiparty democracy within the framework of a constitutional monarchy. A Maoist insurgency, launched in 1996, has gained traction and is threatening to bring down the regime, especially after a negotiated cease-fire between the Maoists and government forces broke down in August 2003. In 2001, the crown prince massacred ten members of the royal family, including the king and queen, and then took his own life. In October 2002, the new king dismissed the prime minister and his cabinet for "incompetence" after they dissolved the parliament and were subsequently unable to hold elections because of the ongoing insurgency. While stopping short of reestablishing parliament, the king in June 2004 reinstated the most recently elected prime minister who formed a four-party coalition government, which the king subsequently tasked with paving the way for elections to be held in spring of 2005. Citing dissatisfaction with the government's lack of progress in addressing the Maoist insurgency, the king in February 2005 dissolved the government and assumed power. To be updated

Za sedlom Asia » Nepal » Annapurna
Ahojte uz sme v Tukuche, prehupli sme sa cez zasnezene sedlo a presuvame sa coraz nizsie k teplejsim oblastiam, ale v noci je stale zima. Tu je uz aj cesta po ktorej sa da chodit na dzipe/autobuse, ale my mame dost casu tak chodime peso :) asko sme mali v plane povodne. Vyhlady su stale pekne, len teraz nevidime Annapurnu, ale viac Dhaulaghiri, ale to nam vobec nevadi :). Mame sa dobre, Sonu skriabe v krku, tak si dava Solmucol a je to tu vdaka asi ceste coraz viac civilizovanejsie. Vcera sme dokonca mali normalnu zachodovu misu :) Aj jedalnicek je [View Full Entry]

Den Himalaya von der Nepalesischen Seite aus zu sehen ist fantastisch. Vor dir Grün und hinten in der Ferne die RIESIGEN Gipfel der 8000er. Die Grenze von China zu Nepal haben wir schnell und unkompliziert gemeistert. Eigentlich sind Luke und ich über die Grenze gesprungen: In der Mitte des Flusses auf der Hängebrücke hat es eine Fette Rote Linie welche die Grenze zwischen China und Nepal markiert, unter Jubel der Ansässigen schreien Luke und ich FREEE TIBEEEET ins Tal während wir über die Linie springen. SEHR zum Missfallen der chinesischen Armee, sehr! Rennen war angesagt, so sehr… [View Full Entry]

Nepal Trip Starts... Asia » Nepal » Kathmandu
Just a quick post to say that we arrived in Nepal with no problems. We spent a couple of days in Kathmandu before flying to Pokhara to start our trek. We are in the second day and so far it has been amazing. Tomorrow morning we get up early (5am) to climb for views of the entire Annapurna range. So far we have survived the drop hole toilets, cold nights and having one shower every two days! We are currently at 2,800 metres, our final height will be 4,200 metres at Annapurna Base Camp... fingers crossed our legs and lungs hold [View Full Entry]

Having met up with Jan and Dan..the tandem cyclists....and I was sure that was the end of my wonderful coincidencental meetings. But on my last night in Kathmandu I went to a Thai restaurant...Yin and Yang....which was great!...but as I sat there Ian and Kristen from England who I had met several days earlier just before crossing the Pass...at the truly rustic/disgusting?..Jimi Lodge....walked in! Great fun as we got caught up and traded stories. I was reading a great book while doing the Annapurna Circuit....called "Annapurna" by Maurice Herzog. It was written in 1952 after he led the [View Full Entry]

Kathmandu Update Asia » Nepal » Kathmandu » Thamal
Hey Guys! I am in Kathmandu! I managed to give myself food posioning the day I got here, so this blog is slightly delayed. Silly me, I thought if my stomach could handle anything in China I could eat salad in Nepal. How wrong I was! Anyway all better now :-) So a recap of what has happened between Lhasa and here. After nearly two weeks in the car, 4 days in Lhasa was a welcome relief. The first 2 days were free days and I enjoyed sleeping in, taking hot showers and walking around the Bangkor area. The area is [View Full Entry]

FINISHED!!!!! Asia » Nepal » Jiri
4/11/09 Said goodbye to the yak troop and encountered with the donkey on the trail again after the junction to Lukla. There was far less tourist here, no more dress in best sunday sport and favourite doll on top of the backpack. in fact...almost all of them were porter carrying material into the mountain, I even saw many young looking faces carried those heavy load too, looked no more than 16 years old. Perhaps because of the Mani Rimdu festival were on schedule in the Himalaya, and they need more goods up there. Even the Tibetan market was fully open yesterday [View Full Entry]

Namaste from Nepal Asia » Nepal » Pokhara
Kathmandu
Kathmandu
Elaborate temples and crumbling shells are side by side in Kathmandu centre.
I arrived in Nepal with a feeling of numb detachment. The sights, smells and salesmen of Kathmandu didn't move me as I had expected they would, and the rush of excitement that makes you sharply inhale, that tingling feeling of energy that I remembered from previous traveling experiences was missing. Embarking on a year long journey has proved very different to setting off for a few months. Leaving behind all the things I love and knowing that nothing will be the same when I return is possibly the hardest thing I have ever done, and my body and heart felt in [View Full Entry]

9 Nov : Katmandu Asia » Nepal » Kathmandu Valley
Om 4u30 uit de veren voor de worst bus trip ever. Gesquized tussen 30 andere personen begaf ons mini busje zich terug naar Katmandu. Dit keer kozen we voor een echt toeristen busje daar alle andere probeelsels van bussoorten niet echt veel soeps waren. Lokale bus was al helamaal niet meer voor herhaling vatbaar na 5 uur of meer bedolven te zitten onder de mensen. Dus alle hoop was op het toeristen busje gevestigd. Helaas, enkel 2 amerikanen waren te bespeuren en voor de rest rochelde de lokale bevolking ons een goede morgen toe. Dat beloofde niet veel soeps ;-( Normaal [View Full Entry]

Trekking in Nepal Asia

Hannah giving me a much needed haircut.
So onto Nepal and into a place of sanctuary, if not normality, from the previous 10 days madness in India. Another long bus ride to Pokhara, which entailed a 10 hour trip to the border, overnight stay and then the bumpiest 12 hour bus journey of my life to Pokhara. All this became worth it though as we arrived in Lakeside Pokhara in view of the spectacular himalayas and the beautiful Phewa Tal Lake. It felt so relaxed and the trekking, traveller vibe was infectious. While Hannah rested (it turned out she had gastro-entinitis), Durks and I (aka Christian my friend [View Full Entry]

Reality Check! Asia » Nepal » Annapurna » Annapurna Circuit
HI All Hearing from me a bit earlier than you and I might have thought! EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Almost immediately after my last entry, I came down with a combo stomach/bowels disruption which needs no further amplification other than to say that it caused me to fall behind "schedule" by a day or 2 and lose some energy as well. After a quick reassessment I decided I should be very happy with completing the Annapurna Circuit and should leave the Sanctuary for another trip! A couple of days diversion for the infamous (in Nepal!) Poon Hill views and yesterday ended 15 days [View Full Entry]
