KATHMANDU NEPAL ... KOST TAIPAILAI CHA? LANDING


Theekchaa !!!!!!!!! Here we are so totally immersed in the journey, this time has been hard, but with a positivity muchito we are again enjoying the adventure that each new day will bring.

arrived to Pokhara, Nepal's second city after a few hours by bus from the Indian border town .... a lake where you can eat without getting Banha staphylococci, with the Annapurna Range background and enough tourist infrastructure, you know, with their pros and cons ..... see flocks of Chinese with camera in hand and making noise muuuucho example.

Good food that recuperarmos of past wounds and visits to different places ... bike the song and see waterfalls, caves and monasteries, sunrises and sunsets in the Himalayas .... as mastercard, let q priceless.

























decided to trek through the area, shortie, like 4 days, whenever we can ycomo on our own ... cheaper and more satisfactory in our opinion .... and the roof of a bus that we will chavaleees !!!!!! more fun and it seems safer because on these roads or you da laughter or panic attacks, you decide, and the roof dede because you can always jump if we do not ?.... Well despenhamos that, we came to Naya Pul after two short hours walking and playing!





















After 5 or 6 hours walking through rice paddies and
millet at the edge of Mardhi Khola we Ghandruk, a beautiful town in the middle of the valley to Annapurna and background Machapuchre spectacular .... a shame that the weather began to spoil and not let us enjoy the view completely.













laaaaaaaaargo
Next day, 8 hours rhododendron forests (linden trees appeared in the Palm) to reach Ghorepani where we slept for the next day wake up at 4:30 to see the sunrise at Poon Hill, overlooking the Annapurna Dhaulaguiri and a little bit .... but spectacular nubladillo despite the noisy and very respectful crowd. Breakfast and 1770 meters or 7 hours down through forests of marijuana to Tatopani ... tato = hot, pani = water ...... anyone dares?? for that, thermal banhos perfect for our aching feet.






Here our paths diverge at s next day, Adri and Vero are removed to Pokhara and we decided to try to go around the Annapurna in the opposite direction, much more difficult but possible after all ... so the girls have a fun trip back to civilization in you have to get off the bus and walk 4 hours but because the road can not normal .... jejejej ..











And Simon and I continued upward direction Muktinath very rapidly, feeding on Dhal Bhat (Nepali typical food) and sleeping in Pequenho villages ..... follow the banks of the Kali Gandaki parriba and pabajo even vadeandolo but time is starting to spoil.

As we climbed the villages of stone houses are being transformed more and more Buddhists, with their flags, their gompas and monasteries, and increasingly isolated.

Marpha Spending the night in an amazing place, we like a fat storm that left everything covered with mud and muddy dirt track .... nothing for us up front, such as Alicante, a French and spanish, as jokes ... to see if we can change the fate of time.























After 3 days you want Tatopani we Muktinath, 3800m., The last town before Thorung La, the highest pass of the trek, 5450m. and over 200 meters above the snow ... mon amie ..... fucked retreat to Pokhara on the same road .... well it's the same way relative to the storm as the road disappeared and the river .. ufff ... 2 days later and unrecognizable ..... the Kali Gandaki GREAT .... is it about the Himalayas?.



Well with a bittersweet feeling we returned to Pokhara, and we could not cross but was beginning to miss Adri so back to town, we rested a couple of days and decided to visit the Park Chitwan National, halfway up Kathmandu, with Rinos and elephants and tigers .... sounds good no?















Again in the roof of the bus, this time 6 Horites veery fun dodging branches and power lines to Sauraha in Chitwan visit ..... a breeding ground for elephants, we fed them and we banhos with them ... .. dramatic penalty gave us a tour of two hours through the jungle to see the Rinos but did not see .... everything can not be in this life ....












And

here in the capital of Nepal .... Ramras chaaaaaa !!!!!! Kathmandu, from where I write ... but I think the city deserves a separate chapter, this weekend, anho new nepali, then trek the same job and if we get a small project and we'll tell you ok??

bsos for tod @ s. ..... you want
