tu jest naprawde fajnie i ludzie, mimo iz biedniejsi od ciapat w $, sympatyczniejsi, pogodniejsi, uczciwsi, bardziej goscinni. nawet przestalem sie bardzo zawziecie targowac, szczegolnie, ze ceny sa w miare ustalone, nie ma pierwszej-dla^bialasow-ceny 10x. No i drogo to tez tu nie jest. To moj ostatni albo przedostatni wpis, bowiem jutro ide na Everesta i nie wiadomo czy wroce. A tak powaznie to wybralem ten trekking, nie dlatego ze jest jakis szczegolnie ladny, tylko ze jest wysoko - w Bieszczady pojade innym razem. Musze sie spieszyc, bowiem idac w tempie Lonely Planet w Delhi bede 22II, a przeciez 18II mam samolot! (ale tak naprawde to jest dosc prawdopodobna opcja oszczedzenia 7 ostatnich dni, samolotem z Lukla) Dla bardziej dociekliwych: Jiri - Everest Base Camp - polaczenie Jiri to Namche Bazaar Trek i Everest Base Camp Trek. ... read more

Moenster: I morgen gaar det afsted til Annapurna for at komme vaek fra den her by. Ud til frisk luft, og knap saa mange mennesker. Glaeder mig. Kavli: Vi er ved at vaere godt traette af diverse folk der vil saelge os hash, smykker, grimme dingenoter, trekking tilladelser, smaa drenge der kan alle verdens hovedstader og som bare vil have maelk, slet ingen penge. Jeg er meget glad for at bo i "Freak street" frem for Thamel, hvo man bliver standset flere gange i loebet af nogle meter. Vi var endda ude for en kvinde der nev sin baby for at vaekke medlidenhed.. Meget ubehageligt. Moenster: Ja, jeg ved ikke rigtig hvad det er med mig. Maaske folk synes jeg ligner en ordentlig hash-ryger, for tror jeg naaede op paa 5 mennesker der proevede at saelge ... read more

Moenster: Ja saa er vi ankommet til kathmandu Kavli: Vi er begge meget traette og fuldstaendigt rundt paa gulvet. Selvom vi havde forberedt os paa hvordan det ville blive naar vi forlod lufthavnen, var der absolut ingenting der kunne have forberedt os paa det mylder af mennesker der raabte efter os, talte gebrokkent dansk og som proevede at lokke os til "billigere" hoteller (Inklusiv ham der koerte med i taxien. Jeg tror han var lidt af en lurendrejer). Vi havde dog bestemt os for et billigt sted i omraadet "Freak Street", og der er vi saa nu. (Og det var billigere end det taximanden tilboed os!) Moenster: Ja saadan nogle lunde... Nu er vi bare traette, vi har lige spist og set os lidt om. Men vi mangler lidt et kort inden vi rigtig kan begive ... read more

I arrived in Nepal on November 2nd 2006 and leave on January 6th 2007 two months and also nearly 3 weeks longer than I had originally planned to stay. I don't know what I expected to find when I arrived in Nepal nor did I have any preconceived expectations, I simply came here to see the Himalayas. There was a reason I started my journey here first, I knew I was being drawn here but by what force and for what purpose I had no idea. After 2 months and 3 treks I can say that I have touched the surface of this country and perhaps have even delved under that surface to an extent and gained an insight into this amazing country. This is largely thanks to both Subin my guide and Baikumtha who accompanied ... read more

The Yeti is said to live amongst the Nepalese Himalayan mountains. The local villages that inhabit the northern regions believe he is a kind of shaman and his existence seems better substantiated than his American cousin, Bigfoot. Whether true or not, the myth adds yet more mystery to an already intriguing country. Far from the highest peaks in the world along the Tibetan border, the Buddha was born in the southern jungles as prince Siddhartha around 2500 years ago. During my time here I found these historic and geographic phenomenas somehow softened. Perhaps it is the people: gentle and charming. Or maybe it has simply been a matter of time. For whatever reason, monks in robes, stoned sadhus and the Himalayas have become comfortable. Like a co-worker or aunt. First, the mountains. There are several areas ... read more
