Nepal - Himalaya - Annapurna - Kathmandu










Namaste! We are now in Nepal, our last destination before to come back to Europe. We really enjoy the Nepalese people.
First, we visited Kathmandu and its monkey temples :)

Then, we took the direction of Pokhara, to start trekking. The region is wonderful and wild. One day of the trekking, we woke up at 4:30 in the morning to climb on the Poon Hill (3200 meters).
There, we could enjoy the sun rising on some of the highest mountains of the world! On the pictures, you can see Anapurna I ( 8092 meters) and Dhaula Giri (8167 meters). Height of the ten highest mountains in the world are in Nepal.
Patty and I, were sick with a cold that day, we tried to climb but it was hard, so we went back to the Tea House to wait for Nic and Hem (guide). When they cameback we left again.....9hs walking......it start to rain in the middle of the way, we saw a lot of lechees, I got a bite and also Nic....

Also during the trekking, we have been arrested by Maoists. We had to pay them money in order to go on. Fortunately, they were peaceful.
