Well i'm back in Nepal-ktm-flew from Badraphur this afternoon.Spent last 2 weeks in southern India.Darjeeling o.k. but always hazy and gorka issue a real problem/interference for travellers.Sikkim was the cleanest/greenest i've seen India.Visited northern Sikkim for rhod. display and glacial hike-great scenery and lots of waterfalls.Gantok even has a mall i.e. no cars-1st for india?? Ktm drier but a lot less claustrophobic than a month ago.Planned hike to my porters' village on 30/4/08-wednesday on everest slope for a week long volleyball comp. before heading home to OZ. on 10th of May.
