This might not quite be the last one as I have a topic I would like to cover for all the countries Tatjana and I travelled to next. Back to Nepal. After the trek we had a day resting and then the whole family at the Dragon Homestay and I went for another 8 mile … Continue reading Nepal – Family outing and heading home!

Nepal – Hiking to Chitlang
This a long post and it's nearly the end of my journey so I want to get it all down now. The bus strike continued so Raj suggested we try a valley he had not visited before. Apparently it used to be a well known trekking trail but, as the popularity and ease of access … Continue reading Nepal – Hiking to Chitlang
Nepal – Short Trek – RaniKot
Indian Rhododendron Raj had thought we might do a four or five day trek while I was here. I was a bit unsure of my fitness having not really done much exercise for four months and only intermittently doing the knee strengthening my physio had given me to do. Best laid plans and all that........there … Continue reading Nepal – Short Trek – RaniKot
Nepal – Meeting Old Friends
I was quite nervous about going to Nepal this time. You may not be aware I had an issue leaving the last time, there was a problem with my visa apparently and I was stung for 100 dollars. When I got home I complained to the Nepali embassy and the embassy wrote to the Immigration … Continue reading Nepal – Meeting Old Friends
Nepal 65, The last few days
I've had a fantastic adventure, met some gorgeous people who I hope to stay in touch with. I definitely intend to and want to come back in about a years time. I didn't spend the last few of days idly. I had two glorious days with Rajkumar and Kriti exploring the jungle behind their house. … Continue reading Nepal 65, The last few days
Nepal 64, Leaving the Farm
Another early start of course. I had slept but, when I woke my hips hurt from the hard bed. Kriti's parents were well into to their chores by the time we emerged. You'll be relieved to know I didn't try heating the mash again. A woman who had come to the house the night before … Continue reading Nepal 64, Leaving the Farm
Nepal 63, A Peek Into Another Life
This is a long one, it was a long day. I didn't sleep well. I was quite warm, in fact I was a bit too warm, my sleeping bag is excellent. The thing that kept me awake was the goats below, the smell and the fact they kept crashing about. The hard bed didn't help … Continue reading Nepal 63, A Peek Into Another Life
Nepal 62, To The Farm
Rajkumar asked me what I was doing for the remaining days of my time in Nepal and I said I may go on a "Workaway" farm for a few days. He suggested Kriti and I could visit her parents as they live very traditionally. They live further east in the hills than our trek had … Continue reading Nepal 62, To The Farm
Nepal 61, Animals and Humans
Dogs are well liked here and when I say that, I include Sikkim India, even stray ones seem to live relatively harmoniously with humans here. They adopt you when you walk and temporarily you become part of the pack. I would never attempt to touch one, they are not tame. I suspect they might try … Continue reading Nepal 61, Animals and Humans
Nepal 60, Shopping and saying Goodbyes
Clare said goodbye to Kriti and Rajkumar at the Dragon house. I could see Clare was feeling rather sad when we set off for Kathmandhu. We had arranged meet with Rajendra, Shova and their family. We invited them for dinner and found a restaurant not too far away. It was so lovely to see them … Continue reading Nepal 60, Shopping and saying Goodbyes
