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.

Thorong Phedi's refuge is really very pleasant. There is quite a climb to get there, in a setting that is bare and stony; bring along enough water! The arrival up there is crazy. The common room is heated, it is possible to plug in your camera or MP4 and you can even enjoy an applestrudel with funky background music. I really was not expecting this at such an altitude!
When you plan your trekking itinerary around the Annapurna peaks, you will see that before the culminating point of the hike there are two camp points: Thorong Phedi or Thorong High Camp, about 1000 feet higher up. Even though I got there quite early, I chose the first possibility. This meant an extra hour of walking the next day (to reach the pass at 17769 feet), but I preferred to ensure I got a better night's rest in a less high and less cold spot.
 I must add that I visited Nepal before the earthquake of 2015, so it is possible that the place has since changed quite a bit.
