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:

• Either flying with Yeti-Airlines to Lukla, staying there for one night or 
• doing a round-flying-trip to see the Himalaya-Mountains (Mt. Everest, Makalu…).

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…
