Travelling in Nepal

I spent 6 weeks in Nepal. I hiked the Annapurna Circuit for 11 days, went on a 7 day river rafting on Karnali river, hung out in Pokhara and did paragliding, wandered the streets of Kathmandu and had a sneak peak at their health care service 😎 Adventurous trip to say the least!

Kathmandu

Where to stay, what to do

Björk:Stayed there for my first night in Nepal. Cannot say I remember much, perhaps due to jet lag but this one is famous for Rob Hall staying.

Thamel
Björk:It is Kathmandu's heart, so busy with stores, cars, people. Coming from Iceland at first it made you a bit dizzy.

Trekking in Nepal

It is essential to go trekking in Nepal. There are two main areas, Annapurna and the Everest area. Choose one or do both.

River Rafting

I went river rafting on two rivers, one daytour and one seven day tour

Björk:Picture does not do it justice but this is a great 7 day mission, camping on the riverbank, paddling throughout the day, relaxing.

Björk:River rafting daytours are available from Pokhara.
