Lantang Trekking.7th day Bamboo-Lantang


7th day  Bamboo-Lantang

1400 mt climbing and 17 km walking..around 9 hours..

Next morning we were in a very happy mood and maybe for the fight next day we match each other pace on the walk of that day as never before. I was faster and he was slower and have to say we manage to cover a great distance with a great elevation too (and I did not complain in the whole day keeping always my smile)

We said our “middle trek crisis” was over :)

 We passed by Lama hotel, a famous village there and only stopper for a coffe..that was supposed to be one of our stops in our initial plan



We stopped at Godatabela for lunch. A nice place between the mountains with only two lodges. We stopped at the second that gave us a higher discount on the menu food (and asked us not to tell to her neighbourd) but later I will find out that menu in this place was also more expensive.





In any case, food was good, and we have a deserved break of almost two hours before continuing. Our goal was Thyangsyapu (I am not sure) but we reached there short after lunch and we felt strong to go up to Lantang instead of stopping there.

We arrived in Lantang after being chased by the women of the lodges on the way that will always happily and sincerely greet us and ask, immediately after “room” “cheap room here” or from shops “paper” “tobacco” “water”. Johan had the patience to respond and say “no thanks”, “no”..I ignored them most of  the time since in all this trip, the commercial greeting of people gets a bit on my nerves and make me feel like a walking ATM

Lantang is a relatively, and compared to others “big” village where you can even find internet if you want in only one lodge that was the one we stopped for sleeping. Again I chequed three while Johan waited (he said I do this better and may be right) and decided to stay in Thasi Delek lodge which in nepalese means “thanks” I think


There we met a French women travelling alone. So far she was fine but was thinking of getting a porter on the end part of the way, since travelling alone on the jungle may be a bit dangerous, for anyone but more for a woman (as usual)

When we arrived, I noticed I was really exhausted and my legs were paining. I was almost unable to walk. That day was maybe a bit too much for me

Lantang trekk 6th day- Laurebina Yak- Bamboo 1700 mtrs descending. 8 hours. We start descending everything we previously climb. We started early and going down down through mountain, getting into a bit of forest again and nice prairies. This is one image we saw on the way...according to the budism culture it is the union of wisdom and compassion..nothing else that might cross your mind eh? After five hours descending we had a big lunch at Thulo syabra one quite “big” village, the biggest we have seen since Chisopani probably since almost all villages. So far they were just three of four guest houses in the middle of nowhere..this was a "proper" village, more than just a bunch of guest houses, with and school even.. All went fine so far between Johan and me until lunch, we had small tension with our difference of paces while walkin g which continued. I had softly suggested on the days before that maybe

Acatenango

  Subida del acatenango Empezamos fatal, ese día fatal. El tipo que nos llevaba, de la agencia Getaway, su nombre Irvin (nunca nunca nunca reservar con el ) llego como tres horas tarde. Rosela y yo nos levantamos a las ocho para estar listas para las 8,30 que se supone que nos venían a buscar y no pasaron a hacerlo hasta las 11,30 Yo, con mis nervios e impaciencia, este tipo de situaciones desde luego me ponen a prueba, flipaba. Le envíe un par de mensajes, el de las 11 ya fue muy desagradable. Claro, yo pensaba que nos íbamos a poner a subir una montaña con todo el calorazo! Es decir al mediodía ponte a subir un pico que ya te han dicho por todas partes que es durísimo de hacer…estaba un poco sufriendo. Total que al final vino un coche a recogernos, como digo a las 11,30 y después pasamos a recoger a Sandra y Andreas que también habían tenido su movida esperando. El guía que nos iba a llevar venía además en otro coche y no sabíamos donde estaba. Llegamos sobre las 12 y la v

Cascadas del Chiflon y lagunas de Montebello

Imagen
Mi siguiente entrada es para un finde que tuve en Chiapas muy especial. Ese finde me fui con Sandra, mi amiga de Dublín y su novio a ver, o queríamos ver ambas dos. Se puede hacer en un tour que en un solo día te lleva a ambos sitios pero nosotros decidimos coger un colectivo que te llevaba a Comitan y decidimos pasar la noche ahí. El sábado primer día nada más llegar, fuimos a las cascadas del Chiflon. Es un parque que tienen muy bien montado en torno a unas cascadas espectaculares. Tienes que subir como una escalera de madera que te lleva a la cima de las cascadas ya que son varias. Os muestro varias fotos mejor Espectaculares como veís. Son varios niveles de cascadas y la subida es durilla, así que tienes que estar en buena forma. Las últimas tienen miradores desde donde te salpica el agua incluso de lo cerca que estas. La bajadita fue mejor y de ahí llegamos de nuevo a Comitan. En Comitan despues de mirar varios sitios, al final encontramos un alojamiento barato para la noche. Lueg
