Travel Day 1057 – Kathmandu to Kopan Monastery, NEPAL After spending my last day in Kathmandu yesterday, I was off to Kopan Monastery, my final destination in Nepal… About two years ago I had already stayed at this nice Buddhist Monastery and while everything had been a mixed bag of experiences, I still felt that […]
Travel Day 1056 – Kathmandu, NEPAL While I was thinking to just spend one single night in Kathmandu, once the realization came how much I needed to get done, I simply had to change my plans… Initially I wanted to leave this afternoon for the monastery, knowing that I had to arrive before 5pm because […]
Travel Day 1055 – Pokhara to Kathmandu, NEPAL It was finally an Active Travel Day again and after spending almost a month in the Pokhara area, I was on the move back to Kathmandu… As I had noticed on my bus ride to Pokhara before, it was off-season and most of the tourist buses were […]
Travel Day 1054 – Pokhara, NEPAL When I went trekking this year, for the first time of my life I came across a tiny but vicious predator that I never had to deal with before: Vampire-Worms! The Last time I went trekking in Nepal was about two years ago and I did so in the […]
Travel Day 1051-53 – Pokhara, NEPAL Even if I didn’t like the Lakeside area of Pokhara that much, after the past two days on the sketchy road, it was really good to be back in civilization… Actually when I woke up the first morning after my trek and went for a little stroll down the […]
Travel Day 1050 – Complete Mustang Trek, NEPAL 19/19 Tatopani via Beni and Baglung to Pokhara (820) Actually today was a better day, but when I woke up in dampness and rain I thought nothing might be different from yesterday… When I was in Tatonani about two weeks ago, it was really hot and sunny, […]
Travel Day 1049 – Complete Mustang Trek, NEPAL 18/19 Kagbeni via Jomsom and Ghasa to Tatopani (1190) When I woke up this morning to the sound of falling rain, I knew immediately that this day would turn out differently that I had initially expected… My idea had been to enjoy an extended breakfast at the […]
Travel Day 1018 – Extended Langtang Trek, NEPAL 09/15 Kyanjin Gompa to KyanjinRi (4774) and Thyangsyap (3140) It was finally our big day to walk up to the peak of Kyanjin Ri for some fine Himalayan mountain views, but unfortunately all the mountains were hidden behind dense fog when we woke up… Actually we had […]
Travel Day 1017 – Extended Langtang Trek, NEPAL 08/15 LangtangVillage to Kyanjin Gompa (3870) and Chyadang We were already off to our final stop on the Langtang Trek, Kyanjin Gompa, and from tomorrow on we would be already walking back through the valley, the same way that we had come… For me personally this circumstance […]
Travel Day 1016 – Extended Langtang Trek, NEPAL 07/15 Riverside via Ghodatabela and Chyamki to Langtang (3430) The night in the valley by the loudly running river had been pretty freezing and in the morning instead of sun, there was only chilly dampness… So far we had always very nice sunrises and great views in […]
Travel Day 1015 – Extended Langtang Trek, NEPAL 06/15 Khanjim via Sherpagaon and Lama Hotel to Riverside (2770) It was our last morning on the Tamang Heritage Trek and it was our last stay in a traditional Tamang Village, because from now on we would be continuing our walk along the Langtang Valley Trek… So […]
Travel Day 1014 – Extended Langtang Trek, NEPAL 05/15 Timure via Tibet Border and Briddhim to Khanjim (2240) Luckily today my stomach was feeling better again, but instead of heaving breakfast in the morning, we had something better to do anyway: we walked as early as possible to Rasuwagadhi, the border with Tibet… Two years […]
Travel Day 1013 – Extended Langtang Trek, NEPAL 04/15 Nagthali via Thuman and Dalphedi to Timure (1760) After a terrible night of freezing cold and stomach sickness, paired with a crazy loud thunderstorm outside, we had a little bit of a slow start of the day and we decided to rather take it easy today… […]
