Trekking in Nepal

Just arrived from a 2 week trek in Langtang Valley and Gosaikunde, around some of the highest mountains of the planet. A lot of stories to tell if I have the time :)

In the end I got a very common infection for the visitors in these microbiological rich countries :) ... now I have an interesting boil (called a staphyloccocus infection) to treat hopefully in the next few days. After walking and climbing I don't know how many kilometers, now I can't almost walk to the toilet.

Soon I'll post some photos and writings.

Krazy Kathmandu... is always running of electricity... :)

Namaste

Nepal ... at the roof of the World

After an amazing bus travel around hills and mountains with lots of local people and a couple of chickens. Here I am in the foothills of the Himalayas. The place of choice for now is Pokhara, a touristic village that is the start of the trekking circuit of the Annapurnas. Nevertheless it's a beautiful place with a valley and lakes, surrounded by mountains with around 7000 mts high, including the Annapurna I (goddess of fertility) with 8091 mts.


Some photos for the interested ones:
