The intrepid trekkers prepare. Left to right from back: Callum, Narayan, our two guides, Doug, Jo,Vince, Kat, Me, Mo and Jan.
Soon after setting off and just before my first leech attack.
Looking back down the valley.
The lovely little (clean) tea-house where we spent the night during a monsoonal downpour.
Jan joining me for some rooftop yoga. Possibly one of the best views and locations yet!
Showing off. Again.
And finally, the clouds cleared and here is the holy Fishtail Mountain.
A leech. I now have a new toothbrush.
Camping on the banks of the Trisuli.
Morning view from the tent down to the Trisuli.
Back on the river for day 2.
A quick update is that I decided against going with Oz Bus back to India. I moved into a charming hotel called The Courrtyard Hotel which has a fantastic library of both books (of which I have an armful) and DVDs which I might watch tonight.
It's now back to Plan A which means leaving Kathmandu with EOE at 8am on the 23rd to head via Baria National Park for 5 days or so before returning to India and driving down to Mumbai. We're getting the sleeper train from Mumbai to Kolkata on about the 2nd August and then flying to Bangkok on the 6th, flights booked. Will keep you posted.
