I hear that Kathmandu is far from the Himalayas actually.
Is anyone thinking about doing something more after the meeting too?
(still hoping this might work for me to come join in)
thx @jamaica @dusjagr @gaudi (for any further info too)
@Harold any chance you can make it?
=)
Lake Pokara might be a nice place to aim for to at least see some peaks, I heard, if not be actually up in them ?
=)
I’m planning to take my bicycle to Nepal, if I can get it done in time. And ride west to Pokhara, then head north on the Annapurna circuit, but stop and backtrack to Kathmandu at half time (it would be impossible for me to complete it, Thorong La pass is 5.5km above sea level and COLD).
Glad to see you can make it!
hahaha you can do that??? by ship it by plane? how?
Kathmandu to Pokhara road crosses through the flood affected area, and roads might take time to recover. It shouldn’t be a problem for a bicycle, but I’d still plan a backup.
It’s not a great idea to take that main road. Too dangerous. It’d be better to look at the alternative paths follow informal hiking trails/jeep tracks etc.
