IS THERE ANY SHARE JEEP FROM ILAM TO GURWALI OR KHORSANITAR? IF NOT, HOW MUCH IT WOULD COST TO RESERVE A JEEP?
i have recently been engaged in the thought of trekking to everest base camp. i have, however, no plan..excpt to book a flight to kathmandu and plan from there. i was wondering if this is do-able, especially at this time of year with the rainy season looming, and my arrival being around the 20th of may. i understand the trek to ebc takes about 17 days with a guided tour and can be fairly expensive.. is it possible to do a trek on my own or in a small group or with a private guide? andi what might that cost? i understand its possible to get all the gear i might need for under $200, but am unsure of total travelling time and cost of food and accomodation, and how the trip could be organized. its my birthday in a week and can think of no more beautiful way of spending it than on a trek to everest, any info is much appreciated! thanks :)
does anyone know what the deal is with RNA ? I flew once with them from nepal to thailand but now when I go to their website it seems i cant book direct from the site...??
Hello. I am looking for feedback on the feasibility of several short trekking options in Nepal in mid-November 2013.
My wife and I (around 30 years old, and expect to be relatively fit in November), have five trekking days in Nepal. We are contemplating several options below and are interested in how challenging the routes are in the time we propose, and how magnificent the the routes are for scenery and landscape.
For some context, we will have spent 9 days in Tibet, before driving to Kathmandu and then flying into Lukla the next day to start the trek. So we should have decent acclimatisation already (sleeping between 3500 - 4900 metres In Tibet).
Option A: Day 1 - (from Kathmandu fly to) Lukla to overnight Monjo; Day 2 - Monjo to Namche Bazaar to o/n Mong; Day 3 - Mong to o/n Luza; Day 4 - Luza through the mountains to o/n Phurte or Namche Bazaar; Day 5 - return to o/n Lukla (fly out next morning)
Option B: Day 1 - (from Kathmandu fly to) Lukla to o/n Monjo; Day 2 - Monjo to o/n Namche Bazaar area; Day 3 - Namche Bazaar to o/n Thame; Day 4 Thame mountain route through Kongde and o/n Longde or Toktok; Day 5 - return to o/n Lukla (fly out next morning)
Option C: Day 1 - (from Kathmandu fly to) Lukla to Phakding; Day 2 - Phakding to Namche Bazaar; Day 3 and 4 - chill out around Namche Bazaar; Day 5 - return to o/n Lukla (fly out next morning)
Any feedback would be appreciated =)

Hello there!
i wanted to know, if anybody can share experience of trekking (or maybe even pictures) in Nepal during monsoon season. My only possible time slot is the month of july. I read a lot of disturbed view which is quite likely when it rains... but how bad is it really? does it get better, lets say above 4500m?
Actually i have only this month and i m staying in india at the moment so i could save the money flighing in from europe... I always wanted to go to the himalayan region but now i struggeling a little bit because i dont know if its worth going, spending money and not seeing anything.
i hope you can help me out!
Thx in advance!
From some internet research I understand that there is a direct comfortable bus to Chitwan National Park (Sauraha) from Kathmandu, in addition to local buses.
Does that bus go via Daman? If not, how can we go via Daman with public transport, even if it involves change of bus. Where to find the bus in Kathmandu? Cost? I guess one may also trek Kathmandu-Daman but we would like to take a bus.
Secondly, while returning from Chitwan National Park to Kathmandu, I am contemplating to do the Manakamana cable car. Any suggestions how to do that? Ideally, I would like to break the Chitwan-KTM journey for that, i.e. leave Chitwan early morning, do the cable car, and reach Kathmandu by evening. Is that possible? How to get the bus from Chitwan (Sauraha) to Kurintar (foot of the cable car) and then another bus from Kurintar to Kathmandu?
I need a very quiet guesthouse in Pokara for 2 adults and 3 yr old child, starting tomorrow night April 15 for a week or so till I find a house to rent. I had reservations at Fullmoon Guesthouse ( Zero for integrity! ) but they called a few days ago to say they are cancelled because they found someone to stay longer than us.
Hi, We're in Pokhara and heading out west to do some trekking for a couple of weeks. When we get back I'm hoping to hire a motorbike to explore the local hills. There are plenty of places that hire out little city bikes, but I was hoping to hire something with a bit more suspension for two of us to enjoy the bumpy roads. Any suggestions ? It seems that Hearts and Tears Motorbike club has folded up, or at least temporarily closed down. Any other ideas ? Thanks in advance for any suggestions. Martin and Neri.
We are planning a visit to pokhara next week. kindly suggest some good B&B. in sort can you pls tell me will it be OK to plan to visit places on our own and places like sarankot.and what is cost effective ways to travel to places. or a guide is needed? If a guide is needed can you suggest the person. I want a enjoyable trip in budget.
Can anyone tell me the best way to travel to Pokhara from Kathmandu with a family of 4 in January staying in Pokhara for 4 days. Flight? Tourist bus? How would I book my travels ahead before reaching Nepal?
I will take the Poon Hill Trek next week and am preparing the stuff to be brought. I will take 5 days to finish the trek and hence it seems there are quite a lot to bring. I asked my guide and he said Down jacket and sleeping bag are required, especially for the early morning heading to Poon Hill for the sun rise. However, my friend just returned from Nepal told me she only put on a jacket (not a down jacket). Her warm pants were not used. (She is not sporty.) I think I should follow what my guide advised but wonder if two weeks makes so much a difference? (My guide cannot tell me the temperature there in late sept/early oct.) Anyone knows the climate and temperature for the trek? Whether it is cold at night in Ulleri/Ghorepani or just Poon Hill? I want to have some idea. Thanks!
I have never done it before. For what should I pay attention while choosing a company or the type of paragliding? What is the normal price? Do I need to choose where in Pokhara for it? Thanks!
Hi. We are a couple aged 22, of indian resident, planning to visit nepal in last week of september. I have few doubts in my mind and wil be very grateful if some of the tourist or localite person clear it.. 1. How will be the climate and atmosphere at that point of time. What type of clothing will be suitable.? 2. I have heard that we can use our indian currency without changing it into nepali currency. Is it so? If so, can i travel the whole length without having the need of converting my currency? 3. What is the shortest way to come out from pokhra and reach india, without getting to travel to kathmandu? As it will be more time taking and a bit costlier also. 4. Since we are a couple. So, a general question... Does the hotels or guest houses pose problems in providing a single room to a boy and a girl.? And will there be problem for us being only two in travelling?
We are 2 couples visiting Nepal in last week of July. We plan to visit Pokhara, Lumbini, Chitwan National Park, Nagarkot and Dhulikel. I have some questions in mind, if anyone can help me out it will be great: 1) How is the current political situation in Nepal? Is it safe to visit? 2) Is the weather good? Is there a chance of flooding or landslides in the circuit mentioned above? 3) Are the roads (from Kathmandu to Pokhara) feasible to drive? If there are any other tips you can give us, will be great. Look forward to hearing from you!

My husband,daughter(9)and I will be in Pokhara early October, we are very fit people and would want to choose a 8-10 days trekking trip with the help of a local porter. What do you suggest? also we'll be in Nepal for a month and planning to visit a National Park, but don't know which one(between Bardia,Chitwan and Kashi Tappu National Park)and do we need Maleria tablets for these areas. Thank you so much. Tics
Just to say that the location shown for Hotel Nirvana is wrong. It shows on the map as being over in the city when in fact it is in Lakeside opposite the Summer Palace. It is not on the street mentioned it is in fact on Durbar Marg although most people in Lakeside do not use road addresses. It is in the area known as Gaurighat, Lakeside Is there somewhere to post errors on maps and addresses
I'm getting into Kathmandu at 17.50 on a Monday and ideally I want to catch some sort of bus to Pokhara the same day. Does anyone know if this is feasible or do I have to wait until Tuesday morning? I've heard there are night buses, does anyone have any experience of these? thanks
I arrive at Kathmandu at 12:50pm. Will i have enough time to take a cab down to the bus station and catch a bus to Pokhara? How much will the cab ride cost? how long will it take? and if i miss the bus, how do i get to Pokhara?? what's the next best alternative? i start a trek the next day and really should sleep in Pokhara that night.
Hi there, In march I'm going to Nepal. The plan is to do a short trekking (5-6 days) near Pokhara. I think it's going to be the Ghorepani to Ghandruk Loop. Is it advisable to bring a sleeping back for this trekking? Can anyone recommend a good english-speaking guide for this trip? And can your leave some luggage somewhere safe in Pokhara?

Hi there, I'm arriving in Kathmandu at 15:25 and need to get a flight to Pokhara that day as I am starting a rafting trip the next day first thing.

I know I can get a bus but would much prefer a flight, are there any airlines anyone is aware of which might be suitable? Thanks very much!! Joe
