Brilliant! Brilliantly written Steve! I share your views on this. This expedition is a solid high point of my blessed 23 years on planet Earth. And it was great spending time with you (and all the other guys) too!
Please Help If You Can
My Cousin went on the Trek below apparently right before the riot we have not heard from her can you advise any american speaking agency over there that could possibly help us we are getting very scared. She is 23 and traveled alone, I am sure hooked up with people on the trek. Thank You in Advance for any info you can provide.

Annapurna Circuit I am planning a trip to Nepal, arriving in Kathmandu on May 16, 2010. Sounds like you may know first hand of the conditions there. Based on the reports, I'm concerned about traveling, but would only cancel with tremendous regret and heart ache. Can you offer any advice? Come to Nepal or cancel? Thank you! -Julie
Re:Hey Hey,
How are you?
I came across your blog and just read it.
I like how you have interpreted Varanasi with a different thought process.
Thanks,

I really enjoyed your India post and photos, especially of the Ganges River! India has been high on my list to get to, but haven't been able to yet. My blog is looking for travel photos, reviews, etc, to share. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email me at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. Continued fun on your travels!

Pics There ARE more pics to go with this blog. However, I have now been at the internet cafe for 3 hours - the last 2 of which I have been waiting unsuccessfully for the pics to upload. I'll try adding more soon.
holaaa Holaa back,
as much as I hate to say it I think I managed being bumped to Business Class because I was one of only two non-Indians on the flight. The other white guy also got bumped to Business
Sounds awesome, Steve!! I love the fateful bike brakedown and repair shop adventure ... and though I'm sorry your hands are sunburned, it does sound pretty silly to picture you with red mitten hands. :) The countryside looks gorgeous!! I was hoping for a Steve/bike picture ... sounds like you guys bonded ... more Steve pictures!! And the honking and sights and sounds ... so exciting! Glad you're having fun!!
This is awaking an interest in India I didn't know I had...keep the sensory descriptions coming! I'm looking forward to following your actions, Narc. Also, happy birthday :-)
