The Himalayan Whitewater Challenge 2006!!!

---

The kayak rodeo!!! Always lots of fun, 3 days festival, with a lot of contests!
First day was the slalom race, second day the rodeo, and third day the downriver race! A big contest for Nepali’s, and international kayakers, who come to Nepal specially or this weekend! And of course Leen and I had to be there too! I did a few of the contests, but didn’t do all of them, so no results for me! But my brother Uttar did everything, and got lots of prices (3rd place for rodeo and slalom)! Even he was the youngest Nepali contester, he did a good job!
Have a look and see our pictures!
That van full of boats was a crazy thing! 11 boats and all the bags, and 14 people inside, but we made it! And the best part of this weekend is all the friends we made, and of course the fun every evening! A bit like Fibark in Colorado, but Nepali style!
Now back in KTM, working a bit for Leen, spending time with all my friends for me! It is so much fun, everybody (=all my Nepali friends working and living abroad) is back in Nepal, it is so great to see everyone after such a long time (some of them 8 years ago!!!)
Lots to talk about!!
Kalu and Leen
