We left you last in Nepal's Royal Chitwan National Park, having a relaxing day before heading for the Indian border. Well, we caught the bus to Bhairawa (about 3km from the border) early the next morning. Most of the day was spent travelling (thankfully with no speaker system on the bus - we're still having flashbacks from the Vengabus....), and arrived in Bhairawa mid-afternoon. This is when we discovered that there is absolutely nothing to do in Bhairawa - no sights, attractions, monuments or museums, not even any restaurants.... nothing! It just happens to be conveniently located near to the border, and not far from Lumbini, so everyone seems to stay there en route to one of these other places. We found our cheapest hotel room yet (for good reason - it had an 'ensuite', but ... read more

Hello again! It's only been a few days since we last wrote, but a lot has happened, and we're trying to make up for the 2 1/2 weeks without word. At the moment we're in Sauraha - a little village just outside Nepal's Royal Chitwan National Park. We've been here since Tuesday, and we move on again tomorrow to Lumbini. But, before we get on to that, we'll pick up where we left the last blog - Pokhara! In total we spent 4 nights there, having a very welcome break from non-stop trekking, and spending most of our time shopping or lying down. Somehow, between the two of us, we managed to come away with 4 new tops, another pair of shorts, more flip-flops, and a new bag/headband/bracelets/necklace/earrings that Hannah needed very urgently The plan to ... read more

So we're going to try and upload a few photos. Hopefully this will work and the rest of the page will be filled with wonderous images! ... read more

Asia » Nepal » Pokhara December 6th 2008

Hello everyone, and thanks for subscribing/looking at our travel blog. We've been away for 2 1/2 weeks now, and this is our first entry - apologies for not being able to let you know we're still alive earlier, we've had problems with unreliable internet, power cuts and there are no internet facilities in the Annapurna mountain range! But, we should now be able to bring you up to speed with our trip so far. We've just finished our 11 day trek, and are currently in Pokhara - a beautiful city next to a lake with incredible views of the Annapurna range. Before the trek, we spent a couple of days in Kathmandu (Nepal's capital). This was quite an experience in itself; very busy, noisy, dirty and run-down in some areas. But, the people were great and ... read more
