Felt a lot better crawling out of the sleeping bag as I'd bought a yak-wool beanie and worn it to be! A bit of a rushed pack, apple pancakes and we were off to Thangboche! Karma had described todays walk as a gradual downhill then "Nepali Flat"... Read more >

Woke at 6:30am to a spectacular view of a towering snow-capped mountain. We had to wipe the frost off the windows in our room to see it! Paul and I, still wearing the same clothes (gross but less washing), ran down to the bakery for some fresh cinnamon ... Read more >

After an overnight stop in Gorakhpur
(a dreadful city you want to leave a.s.a.p.) we made a tough journey through a

The first full day in Gumda was a busy one and, after digging the toilet, our next task was to go to the school. We met the teachers - except the english teacher who was elsewhere - and the principle and they'd arranged a little welcome ceremony for ... Read more >

Probably my most pathetic easter. Despite an extensive search, i had only managed to find an asian cheapo version of a kinders toy egg, so there was not a great deal of chocolate consumed! When I met the staff i gave them a chunk of toblerone, but most ... Read more >
