Pokhara

Imagen
Pokhara me gusto mucho mas que Kathmandu y eso que al principio, quiza porque todo el mundo me habia dicho lo bonita que era pues me esperaba una maravilla y en ese sentido me decepciono un poco. Tambien porque al principio no descubri la orilla del lago que es lo mas bonito de Pokhara y me quede con lo mas "normal". La parte bonita del lago es visible, pero tienes que meterte un poco desde el centro y no lo hice, hasta el tercer dia donde descubri, las maravillas de Pokhara. Tambien las vistas..ayy preciosas, sobre todo desde mi ventana del hotel. Ahi van Las puntas blancas del fondo es la cordillera del Anapurna..no son nubes eh? Encontre un hotel perfecto en Pokhara..el nombre Sakura esta en "akeside 6 baidan phewa lake", lo recomiendo, muy buen precio (500 rupias nepalies o 2 euros y medio) y estas en un hotel centrico, con buenas vistas y habitacion de tres estrellas. El mejor de todo mi viaje. Eso si, el recepcionista, un tio joven delgado, es un...

Kathmandu

Imagen
Mi primera impresión de Kathmandu fue mala y además entre con muy mal pie en el aeropuerto. Mi maleta fue la ultima en llegar y ya había empezado a preguntar que pasaba con ella. Despu és la tarjeta no me funcionaba en el ATM y era porque solo admitia visa y no mastercard, eso en todo el aeropuerto de Katmandhu, así que tuve que pedirle ayuda a un guardia para que me dejara entrar dentro del aeropuerto de nuevo y poder sacar rupias nepalíes en vez de las indias que tenía  dentro que habia un ATM que aceptaba master. Tenía otra tarjeta que es visa pero que solo quiero usar en casos extremos y al final no tuve que hacerlo.  Luego el agobio nada mas entrar en la ciudad de la gente..si en India te agobian en Kathmandu aun mas, es horroroso..cada 5 min alguien te dice algo como “hotel room”? “trekking agency”? “dinner”? incluso la fruta, te persiguen con juegos de ajedrez o marionetas extrañas que se supone vas a comprar, en fin muy muy agobiante para el turista, ...

Kathmandu- Bhaktapur

Imagen
Bhakatapur is an old city very near to Kathmandu, only one hour by local bus. Bus can be taken near the Official Tourist office in Kathmandu and cost only 20 rupees We went caused according to the guide it is one of the World heritage sites listed by Unesco so we though it would be good to see. First I thought it was only a temple and when I saw the price to enter (1100 rupees) I decided to stay outside in internet instead while Johan was coming in. I was tired of temples. Then he called me and say it was a whole city which was a different history and I got curious so I decided to enter. It was worthy, here are some of the picts

Trekking 10th day Gora Tabela- Shyapri Besi

Imagen
10th and last day Gora Tabela- Shyapri Besi This was a very bad day that already started bad. In the breakfast they will not let us to recharge the mobile and we found excessive prices for some items in the menu, like a difference of one euro for jam in your toast.. We left that guest house and went to the one down which was a lot more reasonable and did not have any big whole in the shower either. I was already in bad mood for all that. We started the trekking. In the middle we stopped near Lama hotel and meet a French guy who was doing trekking with his son (who was farther ahead, similar to Johan I though hihi). He told us there was an alternative way to go to Shyapri Besi, a new way with nice views but a bit longer. I did not want to walk longer and I was a bit scared that we will lose our way or something will happened and we will not get on time to Shyapri Besi. Johan thought it would be nice to do the alternative way instead of doing the same again (actually make sense ...

Lantang Trekk. 9th day Kyanjing Gompa- Gora Tabela

Imagen
9 th day Kyanjing Gompa- Gora tabela The day before, Johan and I happily agreed that he would wake up earlier than me, climb one mountain on that village Tserko Ri of 4984 (6 hours in total up and down) and then joined me in Gora Tabela. Me, on the other hand, had no plans of climbing that and then walk four hours more to Gora Tabela since the pain on my legs had not still disappeared. I thought I would go to Gora Tabela on my own pace, since I was a bit slower while going down, and join him there. When I woke up he was gone, he went at 5 to have time to do all his marathon and took my camera with him. These are some of the pictures of him  in the top of the mountain, you can see how happy he felt by his face Some picts of the view from there He said it was very hard and steap especially going down where he felt five times. Me, on the other hand, woke up at 6 which was not strange because we went to bed at 8 pm (usual time in our trekk...

Lantang Trekk. 8th day Lantang-Kyajing Gumpa

Imagen
8 th day Lantang-Kyajing Gumpa 8 km 400mt climbing 2hours This was a short way of 2 hours that was what I need since the pain in my legs was higher.  I did it very slow and was nice cause was a beautiful beautiful way..the best for me of the whole trekk. The way between this two villages is, and I might not exaggerate..like a way to heaven, if there is any paradise it is something like that (and this is literally what I thought while walking here) Kyajing Gumpa is a wonderful village, again between mountains, much higher mountains than Lantang with snowy peaks, cows pasting around, horses running..again like the end of the paradise. I was happy to arrive early and after doing our regular check of houses and stayed in “lovely lodge” we took the rest of the day, only one in the whole trek, to rest, walk around, have coffee etc I particularly needed a day off after such a hard work, and again not exaggerating “hard work” ...
