The first jeep Yuksom to Jarethong only included one barfing bairn and the second jeep from Jarethong to Darjeeling was mercifully vomit free! Jarethong has a very well organised jeep park where we popped to the loo, grabbed some short-eats for ... Read more >

Our 7am jeep to Yuksom set off pretty much on time and initially we had plenty of space. It wasn’t long before there were 4 of us sharing the back seat. Being slightly squashed in meant you didn’t get thrown around so much as ... Read more >

This latest epic journey, and in fact our longest non-stop, started with it taking an hour just to reach Kathmandu’s outskirts. We had to pull into a couple of places to collect more passengers and in between time we crawled and stuttered ... Read more >

Back in Kathmandu again after the spectacular and scary flight from Lukla, however, I can’t really tell you much about Kathmandu as we didn’t venture very far but I’m sure if you look in our worldnomads archives you’ll find our ... Read more >

The tourist bus station in Pokhara has a beautiful mountain backdrop and this nicely set the tone for the scenery along the way; paddy fields and banana palms leading up to 7000m peaks. The journey was smooth and enjoyable until we were within ... Read more >
