bringing back memories
I was searching for photos of yak trains and saw your EBC photo, which looks almost exactly like mine (I was also at EBC in early November 2012)! Thank you for writing down details from your trip, it brought back so many memories that I neglected to write down.

Thank you! I always enjoy read blogs of other people who've gone to the same place as I forget stuff too. Nothing like happy memories to inspire another trip! :)

Have a great trip
Thanks, I hope you have a great trip! Just wanted to let you know that Kathmandu seemed very safe to me, very little hassle (apart from street vendors) and walked around a few nights alone and felt very safe in Thamel right up to Lazimpat. Have fun! x

Very impressed!
Wow, this is fantastic! Obviously a lot of hard work but some beautiful views! It sounds like a good idea to start off early. I remember going downhill in a Cretan gorge for 6 hours, certainly harder work than you'd think! Glad the curry softened the blow! ;) xxx

jains
Hi Ashish, thank you very much for the clarification, I think whilst we were there, we were taught only about the monks, I had not appreciated the differences for Jain layman. It is certainly a fascinating religion and as I say, the temple was one of the beautiful places I have seen.

Hi landontravellor, Its great you are enjoing your trip in India. I just wanted to clarify about your note here about Jains. Jain monks do not use anything that can harm any living being (ofcourse as much as possible). They travel by foot, eat very little and restrictive food, have no house or any possessions and spend most of their time in study/medition. However, Jain laymans are not as strict even though vegeterianism is very basic requirement. There are progressive stages for layman as he/she advances in his/her conduct and vows. Just wanted to clarify that there is distinction between Jain monk and Jain layman. Jain religion does not believe in creator God and belive that all life forms are equal and have potential to become God.

I LOVED your Pushkar photos and post! I have actually been thinking of featuring the city as a "destination of the week" on my community blog, if there's anything you'd like to contribute. We're always looking for travel photos, reviews (like maybe of that lakeside restaurant?!), etc. If you have the time, check it out at dirty-hippies.blogspot.com, or email us at dirtyhippiesblog@gmail.com. Continued fun on your travels! Heather :)

I love travel & trekking, especially in Nepal, and have been fortunate enough to complete several high altitude treks in the Swiss Alps, the Andes and in the Himalayas. So far, in Nepal I've completed the Annapurna Base Camp trek, the Annapurna Circuit trek, and trekked to Everest Base Camp and to the summit of Kala Pattar Next on my list are Gokyo and Langtang treks. Just had a baby so no high altitudes for a while so armchair travelling it is!... full info
