Hi,
After a couple days in Kathmandu, I'm heading into the big mountains tomorrow. I met up with my Porter at 6:15am today, and we traveled together on the 7 hour bus trip to Pokara. It really a spectacular ride as we climbed out of the bowl that Kathmandu sits in, and headed out along a huge mountain river and canyon. I've got a sore butt from sitting all day, but it was never a boring ride. Right now I'm watching the sunset over the Lakeside area, from the rooftop of my Guesthouse. Tomorrow the "big" adventure begins, as we start trekking into the Annapurana region. The plan is to trek for 14 days into Annapurana Basecamp at 4100 meter, via a number of mountain villages. Right now we're at 700 meters, so we have some elevation to gain. It's nice to get out of Kathmandu and breath some clean air. Although Kathmandu is incredibly interesting with non-stop "action", it has some of the worst air pollution in Asia.
I'm posting some photos to my Nepal Album, but the internet is pretty slow so not sure how many I'll get uploaded. Talk to you again in 2 weeks.
