The Big Boss’ Bodyguards

Tuesday, December 18th, 2007

The last nine months of travel have thoroughly introduced me to squat toilets; from my first experiences in the relatively sterile Japanese karate dojo to the stinkiest shit-holes high in the Himalayas. My earlier fears have long since past. I can now see the benefits of sanitation and the fact that everything just comes out easier. Still, as I draw deeper into the Indian subcontinent, I keep finding more and more standards to judge the worst toilets of the world. I can already feel his presence, the Big Boss is near! [read on]

Welcome to India: Part I: The Bad and the Ugly

Monday, December 17th, 2007

The eight hour bus ride from Pokhara, Nepal to the Sunali border of India actually took more than twelve hours. It also didn’t take me all the way to Sunali, but rather dropped off 5km away. So I am stuck in the back of a cyclo-rickshaw that is inching its way to immigration office. Over the course of a half hour, I am able to catch my first glimpses of India, or rather my first obscurities. The closer we get, the thicker the cloud of pollution enveloping us grew. I thought China was bad, but here the haze is so bad that the even the ground at my feet appears faded. [read on]

Day 4: Return to Pokhara

Friday, December 14th, 2007

The final day on TATA Bullet… I’ve begun to feel at one with this bike. All of the difficult little idiosyncrasies have become familiar and I can operate this temperamental machine just as well as any other motorcycle I’ve ridden. However, there is a power and comfort of riding the Bullet that eludes all others! [read on]

Day 3: Saruha to Tansen

Thursday, December 13th, 2007

Rolling out of Saruha early again, Kiev and I start towards Tansen, our final destination before returning to Pokhara. A long day of riding ensues and we are both stunned by the beautiful, perfect roads. Atypical of Nepal, there are long stretches of wide, smooth pavement that curve gently through unbroken woodland. A few twisty hills are all we encounter for most of the day, but packs of monkeys and the remains of former landslides make the occasional appearance. [read on]

Day 1: Pokhara to Saruha

Tuesday, December 11th, 2007

– Bullets Over Nepal –

7am: Groggily wake up, slightly hung-over. Check out of Hotel Grand Holiday and climb onto TATA Bullet, a customized and extremely stylized Royal Enfield Bullet 350cc motorcycle. The bike is THE classic motorcycle, still being manufactured to their original WW2 military specs. It is a large, solid bike that chugs along with a satisfying boom of power. [read on]

Day 7: Sinuwa to Naya Pul

Thursday, December 6th, 2007

7:30am: Awake and back on the trail. Down and up. More walking, climbing and shock from struggles downhill. The sights are still amazing, but have been seen before. Now that the trek is coming to its close, my focus is set to the future’s comforts. Pokhara tonight! Hot shower, excellent food, beers and live music all await me at the end of this full week of intense mountain trekking. My feet are sore and bruised, my muscles ache and I am anxious to wake up tomorrow with no agenda. [read on]

Day 6: Annapurna Base Camp to Sinuwa

Wednesday, December 5th, 2007

6:30am: I wake on the uncomfortable bench in the lodge’s common dining room. My blankets have long since fallen to the floor and I lay there shivering and short of breath. It is a difficult night with very little sleep, but the view of Macchapuchhre from the full wall windows every time I wake is a comforting reward. As darkness fades, a glow behind the impressive mountain eventually gives birth to a pure sunrise, basking the Sanctuary in the morning’s light. It took five days of the most rigorous trekking to see these wonders, but it is worth more than any struggle endured to get here. [read on]

Day 5: Deurali to Annapurna Base Camp

Tuesday, December 4th, 2007

7:30am: There is still a foot deep snow blanketing the ground. It is absolutely frigid and I lost my insulated cap somewhere on the trail yesterday. We set off into the fresh powder, through the perilous avalanche zone and pave our trail along the freezing river further into the Annapurnas. After a difficult morning facing the biting cold, low oxygen and rigorous hiking we stop for a delicious Dahl Baht in the shadow of the impressive mountains that never cease to defy imagination.

Day 3: Chomrong to Dovan

Sunday, December 2nd, 2007

Another early morning greets us and our group continues the long hike through the mountains, and occasionally back down to the river. My body is begging me to turn back, but I am determined to enter the Sanctuary. The trek has been brutally rough so far, but the scenery is worth more than the effort. [read on]
