Month: October 2010

After 40years back with a SLR!

At last managed to find a place considerably cheaper than UK, it’s a Canon 550D. With 18-135mm zoom lens. Need to return to EBC now 🙂
Just met my Australian friends from the Lhasa train apparently 8 kids were killed in RTA that blocked our road and caused my diversion 🙁

A plan is forming!

I’ve moved upmarket to a £14 a night hotel which even has hot & cold water and more importantly a drain that allows water to run away! Went and bought the Nelles Himalaya Map for 650rupee.
Just about to book a rafting trip down towards Pokara then do a 4 day trek to see the sunrise at Poon Hill. Followed by a bus trip down to Buddahs birthplace on the border at Lumbini then of to Varansi to inspect The Ganges. Somehow I need to fit in Darjeeling, which is the opposite way! Not sure after that 🙂
