March 29, 2005A Soft Landing in India: The Hills of DarjeelingI crossed the border from Karkhabitta Nepal to Panatanki India at about 4:15 in the afternoon, and while there wasn't any major physical boundary (just a medium sized river, smaller than several I'd crossed in Nepal) it was quickly clear...Read this update March 28, 2005Lazy Days, Pokhara and KTM + Finishing Nepal with a Holi-Day on the TeraiMy day in Pokhara, and the days to follow in Kathmandu would be fairly un-energetic ones (though the above-mentioned Holi on the Terai was anything but.)

In fact it's only been 19 days, but that's long enough that I'm happy...Read this update March 01, 2005A Quick One From PokharaAt the "tourist" bus station there were a dozen or more buses waiting to pick up passengers. I identified the correct one and climbed aboard. The phrase "tourist bus" probably conjuors up images of new upholstry,reclining seats, air conditioning, passengers...Read this update |
