Om Mani Padme Hum

The last day of this short trip. So many things to do… As I was expecting, we don’t even go to Katmandu's Durbar Square. Instead we walk around and notice that as soon as we get out of the centre, we are back to see naked children, people looking for...

Bhaktapur

We wake up relatively late and decide to have a big breakfast at Brezel. We then depart to Bhaktapur, 25 kms outside Kathmandu. The entrance to the city costs 10$ per person. As a result the main place and Durbar Square are very quiet. We have the city...

Patan

Still on the improvisation mode; we wander what’s next. Jeremie makes up his mind and proposes to visit Patan. It takes us an hour to get there. I am a bit exhausted and Jeremie is feeling pain with his little toe. We take the service of a young guide...

The bath of the Elephants

. At 7 am we‘re already up and waiting for a taxi to take us to the tourist bus station. The taxi doesn’t show up; we take a normal bus and we eventually got on time. The bus leaves at 7:15 sharp. We “embark” to Chitwan National Park in a very uncomfortable...

Reaching Jomsom

. When we start walking, Bachan informs us that we can get to Jomsom on the same day which makes us ahead of schedule (better known as “The Programme”). I am happy to hear that even though I am truly enjoying the trek. The scenery is very different from...

A long day

The fourth day of the trek is a bit hard. We start walking at 7:30. The path is a flat road-like along the Kali Gandaki river. We cross many bridges and small pathways before getting to Ghasa. The scenery become different as we climb through a pine tree...

Sunrise on Annapurna

. The third day of the trek. Hard “reveil” indeed. We start moving and climbing the steps between busy tourists, all half asleep of course. We arrive there just on time, at 5:15 am. The sun starts rising at 5:30 am. It’s freezing cold. Many people are...
