Flying from Kathmandu to Delhi I saw some mountains which are higher than 8000 m. Unfortunally the weather last days was not good to do a “Everest Flight” - so, this is one of the only “Himalaya-Pictures”.
It was great, seeing those mountains, where you don’t expect mountains above the sky…
This was in the area of Pokhara - maybe Annapurna or so…
This is funny…
I just saw Peter Habeler in the streets of Kathmandu. I had to laugh, because last year I managed a “A trip to Nepal-Blog” for Wolfgang, where he met Peter Habeler in the Himalaya-Mountains (Cho La to Lobuche) and made a short Podcast with him…

Wolfgang, Roberto - this is for you :)
Today I met Robert and Wolfgang - both had been in Nepal last year (check Wolfgang’s Nepal-Blog here: www.sugarmelon.com/nepal). Robert showed me his pictures from his trekking-tours and with Wolfgang I had some chats about India and Nepal.
There are two possible routes, travelling through Nepal and arriving in Kathmandu.
Route 1 is from Darjeeling, passing Kakarbhitta and then 200 km in the south of Nepal to the Royal Chitwan Nationalpark, where I will start Route 2 (coming from Patna in India) and going forward to Kathmandu. Depending on time and transport and my personal condition.
In Kathmandu I am currently thinking about 2 things:
Fascinating - it would be great to see those landscape and those mountains about which I read about in Wolfgang’s Blog.
On Monday Morning I am going to receive my Visa for Nepal…
Some guys are asking me - what are your plans in India and where do you want to go there.
My plans in India are exploring the country and getting in contact with another culture.
I am planning three different routes. I do not have a lot of time - there are 3 weeks left. It’s OK and I know, that even within three weeks it is possible to see and visit a lot. I have got some plans and possibilities, but will decide on the fly, where to go and what’s the best.
What I am planning is to start in New Delhi. Go to Agra and Jaipur. I will go there by bus and train. The weather in India is very hot at the moment and it is short before the raining-season (is starting in June).
Route 1: If it is not too hot, public transport is OK and it is possible to travel “fast”, I will choose Route 1 and go further into the south: Ahmedabad, Bombay, Goa.
Route 2: If public transport is OK and the weather is too hot, I will check the East: Kolkata or Darjeeling with a wonderful view to the Himalaya.
Route 3 I am going to choose, if I decide to focus on nature and the north and if I notice, that a big tour is getting too exhausted.
Lets see…
