We caught the local bus from Tansen down to Butwal, then changed at the bus park to a Nepalgunj bus with no trouble at all. This time the bus was smaller, so there was no room for goats or potatoes. We got to Nepalgunj without any 'banda' interruptions ... Read more >

We thought we had better do some sightseeing today. This temple is only a couple of kms to the west of the Thamel area in Kathmandu, so it was an easy walk. Not long after we arrived a group of 7 kids latched onto us. We thought they would be after the ... Read more >

The Langtan Trek - apart from the hairy 9 hour bus ride to and from the trek and the toll that walking up and down hills has on your knees this would have to be the highlight of our visit to Nepal. As you can see from the photos the scenery was just ... Read more >

The Garden of Dreams is a walled-off garden in Tridevi Marg at the entrance to the Thamel area in Kathmandu. It costs 160NRs for foreigners to get in ($A3), but it is well worth it if you take a book or the newspaper and spend an afternoon relaxing. The ... Read more >

Kathmandu - a city of contrasts. From the crowded, oldworldly, potholed alleyways of Thamel to the wide heavily trafficked roads and glass fronted shopping malls of the newer city, from the over 300 year old architecture of temples, lion statues and ... Read more >

Tuesday we woke up to rain, rain, rain. Raj (our trusty AC guide) had booked us up for 9am to go to the Bat Cave and Mahendra Cave just north of Pokhara. The rain backed off at 10am and Raj turned up (we thought he had given up on the day like us). Being ... Read more >
