Namaste! Welcome to these pages on holidays in Nepal. Nepal is a country of legends influenced by its two direct neighbours: China and India. The birthplace of Buddha, enriched by its numerous temples and unique mountainous landscapes, has a lot to offer for its visitors. From the Tibetan temples to the valley of Everest, via the Himalayan mountain range, you will discover more than just simple landscapes during your travels in Nepal. Culture and religion hold a very crucial place in the discovery of « the dwelling place of God». A real ethnic blend, the Nepalese populace is welcoming and spiritual and will not hesitate to share their customs and traditions with you. Safaris in Nepal, riding elephants, trekking in the jungle, trekking towards Everest, this is what awaits the traveller that is avid of strong sensations and a change in scenery. With its cultural richness and exceptional environment, Nepal is a country that will not leave anyone indifferent. So, when is your next trip to Nepal?

Pokhara, which could have been a haven of peace after 3 weeks spent in the mountains, turned out to be an unpleasant culture shock, a real tourist town where the behaviour of the foreigners was a real contrast to the culture of the country.

I stopped off only at the small village of Letdar before reaching the base camps leading to the Throng La pass, the highest point of the trek. Although there isn't much of a difference in altitude between Manang and Letdar, walking does become a little more of a challenge. You will in fact need to give your body time to acclimatise: we're talking about somewhere more than 4,000 m above sea level!
However, given that I'd previously been to Lake Tilicho (5,000 m above sea level), I didn't find it all that difficult to reach the pass. The detour I'm talking about is magnificent, although it does extend the trek by a good two or three days. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone passing the Himalayas during their <a href="/nepal/">journey through Nepal</a>.
But let's come back to our sheep. At this point in the trek, there are fewer villages and the lodges are very popular; don't expect to have a lot of choice here. Be that as it may, Letdar does offer some very pretty views, certainly better than those of Yak Kharka. I even regretted not having spent the night there!
I should add that I visited Nepal before the earthquake in 2015; it's possible that in the aftermath, these places have greatly changed.﻿​
