- Day 17 - Poon Hill and BeyondWhen we finally collapsed onto the carpet-covered bench at lunchtime, Amber and I were under the impression that we had made our destination for the day. Not so. We had another couple of hours to go! The day started Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 28, 2017
- Day 16 - A Strange kind of DayAwake at 6am, I went to plug in my phone (there was power!) in the dining hall, plonked myself down in the kitchen and tried to write up the blog as Bisou pottered around, lit the fire (yeh!) and then Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 27, 2017
- Day 15 - Getting What You Wish For...So, at the end of a good day yesterday, with a glass of lovely spiced local rum warming my tummy, I talked about wanting to absorb all that I could of Nepal. Which is just as well really. By 9am Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 27, 2017
- Day 14 - the Bus to Paradise!My room being next to the public toilet I was treated to the sound of harking, up-chucking and everything else a loo is used for throughout the night, so it wasn't super-restful. I got up early to get packed Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 25, 2017
- Day 13 - Go Ram and The Price of Progress(Imagine a dark theatre, an unfilled spotlight on the stage. A compere's voice sounds from the wings... "Ladies and Gentlemen, It's with great pleasure this morning that I can announce to you, Ramprakesh The Porter has joined the trekking party!...."

- Day 12 - Religious Harmony and Internal Discord To the side of Muktinath town, set on the hillside is a white-walled garden of a couple of acres, filled with ancient plane trees, waterfalls and places of worship. The early morning light throws patches of gold and green onto Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 24, 2017
- Day 11 - Thorongla PassWe went to bed at 7pm last night in order to get some sleep for the 4am start today. From 8-10pm was fine, after which, I just became more and more aware of a shortness of breath and splitting Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 23, 2017
- Day 10 - High CampWe made High Camp in less than 3 hours, climbing from 4,200m to 4850m along the valley-side and then up to a flat patch where a large tea house accommodates up to 110 people and as many nationalities. Today Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 21, 2017
- Day 9 - Crippled"I don't want to be here any more, I can't do this, I am terrified. The start of the walk, wandering through Menang was hard enough and that was almost flat. I shouldn't have come; vanity project; stupid; Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 21, 2017
- Day 8 - Small things and scary thingsToday has been one of small things; small climbs, small objects, small pleasures (and some fears), all set in the huge world of the Himalayas. In an attempt to deal with an environment where everything is so unfamiliar, I have Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 19, 2017
- Day 7 - You take the low road...Today's entry starts last night: After supper we learnt a Nepali card game that Kumar announced himself to be very good at. This red rag worked beautifully on Durghar, who rose to the challenge. As a learning set, K Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 18, 2017
- Day 6 - Happy serendipities! I ordered a pancake for breakfast and luckily, this has been the best so far. When I say pancake, banish thoughts of a crepe from your mind. These are around 8" in diameter, at least 1.5cm thick and Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 17, 2017
- Day 5 - Power (or the lack thereof)Karim has been warning me for some time that the higher we climb, the less likely there is to be WiFi or electricity. Today I got up at 6 to put my phone and iPad on charge before anyone else Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 16, 2017
- Day 4 - Me, Ram and KarimSlept through two earthquakes, not big ones, but I woke up as they finished, so I wasn't aware of them at all! Everyone was talking about it at breakfast. It's a miracle that I slept at all. Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 15, 2017
- Morning in Pokhara Before moving on to Pohara, I "lost" a couple of photos from Chitwan and our Journey from Chitwan. Fortunately "lost" does nor REALLY mean lost, just misplaced in many gigabytes of pixels Posted by wangard in Bob and Chris | Oct 14, 2017
- Day 3 - Reality checks and contradictions It's been a mixed kind of day. Slept badly and struggled to get going this morning - everything is unfamiliar and this makes my slow-brain slower. I eventually managed to get breakfasted and sorted by 7:30, and Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 14, 2017
- Day 2 - The bus to BasisiharToday has been better by far. The clothes dried (yey!) so they got packed into the bag of bits to reduce weight in the pack that the porter carries and so that I know I have a clean set Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 13, 2017
- Well, that wasn't awkward...So, I had a delicious shower before heading out and washed my travelling clothes, on the premise that my room is so warm, they'll dry in no time and i can leave them behind at the hotel as a clean, Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 12, 2017
- Kathmandu -- I'm really hereGood journey, largely uneventful, running mostly to time. Outside the airport , through the throng of people was a name board with 'Julie Wilson' on it, accompanied by Karin (turns out to be my guide) and an apparent 12 Posted by threeandahalf in The three and a half week gap-year | Oct 12, 2017
- The road to BandipurWe left Chitwan and the plains behind with our next stop being Bandipur. On the way out, I couldn't resist a picture of this very odd beautiful flower. Along the way, we made a coupl Posted by wangard in Bob and Chris | Oct 6, 2017
- From the hills to the plainsWe travelled from Nuwakot perched on its mountainside to Chitwan and its national park and surrounding villages in the plains of Nepal nearing the Indian border. This was the general area where flooding occurred in August, but we were Posted by wangard in Bob and Chris | Oct 3, 2017
- From the city to the country We started the day in Patan at Swayambhunath more commonly known as the Monkey Temple. It not called the monkey temple for any religious reason. It is called that because a whole boatload Posted by wangard in Bob and Chris | Oct 3, 2017
- Worshiping, playing, and workingToday started early with photos from the rooftop of our hotel into the square. Already, Kathmandu Valley had been up for a while with markets being prepared, traffic on the streets, and (for the festival) parades of drums and Posted by wangard in Bob and Chris | Oct 1, 2017
- From Bhaktapur to PatanOur day started early (which can probably just be assumed going forward!) with a visit to what can only be described as a complex of temples. This was a big sprawling area with multiple temples, worshipers, and ceremonies. It Posted by wangard in Bob and Chris | Sep 29, 2017
- Official Day #1Our official first day stared with a few morning shots, some education about street photography and Nepal, and then a walk around town in Bhaktapur. We mostly took photos pf people going about their normal daily business. [img=https://photos.traveller Posted by wangard in Bob and Chris | Sep 27, 2017
