From the equatorial jungles of Gabon warp to the highest mountains in the world - Nepal. The change

From the equatorial jungles of Gabon warp to the highest mountains in the world - Nepal. The change was not only the climate, but also cultural, stove top popcorn linguistic and gastronomic. More from the airport we were met Vishnu with his girlfriend Sophie CouchSurfing and helped us navigate the new environment. We fell in Nepal at a glance. After Kathmandu Africa seem like a city of plenty. You could buy whatever you want and quite cheap. Stores equipment were loaded with everything, and the food delicious and varied. stove top popcorn We tried a lot of everything stove top popcorn and we could not satiate Nepalese specialties. Immediately gave the lens and computer repair for a day or two ready! We stayed two days with Vishnu, who had gone quite on the mountains and explain possible routes. We, of course, stove top popcorn I wanted to see Everest and its neighboring highest peaks on Earth. Everest, Sagarmatha Nepali or Chomolungma Sherpa language, was quite far away. We did not want to fly to Lukla, as did more than 90% of tourists visiting the national park "Sagarmatha". Chose to travel 12 hours by bus and walk six days walk to Lukla, as did the first expeditions to Everest. In fact, the very first expeditions set out to walk straight from Kathmandu. Because of the mountainous terrain, roads in northern Nepal almost gone, and the few roads were more extreme than the transition itself. Just imagine how the bus travels 120 km in 12 hours without almost stops moving. We decided that enough amazing adventure and no need to stop. Started enthusiastically preparing for the trek - permiti, tickets, equipment and essentials. Guide and porter are not mandatory, but the fees for national park out 30 euros per person. It would be the longest transition in our lives - almost 30 days walking in the mountains. We had to be ready for anything. We moved to another kauchsarfar - Manji, who also was a hitchhiker and even wrote in a local magazine column for hitchhiking. It turned out pretty cool tipche, stove top popcorn familiarize ourselves with other collars Automatic pipette tips and took our interview for the magazine.
In late May, we went to the Himalayas. The adventure began with a 12 hour trip by bus. The road was narrow, porednitsa of U-turns crawling on steep slopes, stove top popcorn and the bus bounces like a safari. Everyone was jumping in my seat like a wild horse ride, and the man behind us would not stop vomiting noisily while the bus was rolling on the edge of a sheer cliff. All this comes amid cheerful Nepali music with singers with voices stove top popcorn so thin, as if they had breathed helium. Definitely not a trip for the faint of heart and weak stomachs. No need to explain that the driver was a whiz and missed by opposing buses and trucks on the single-sideband time of magic.
Reached successfully Shivalaya where the road svarshvashe.Ot now on, everything is carried on the back of porter. Starting from building materials for houses such as doors, windows and roofs through to meat, biscuits and cooking gas. A porter carried to 150 kg on his forehead stove top popcorn for days. And do not look healthy and big people. We were armed with large stocks of food, because we knew that the more you go, the more expensive it becomes. Otherwise we ate in Bath Lodge Dal-rice with lentils, potatoes and spinach, the best Nepali meal because it eat you pour a second stove top popcorn and sometimes a third time. Lodge had almost every hour and offering bed 0.50lv night. We left the tent that anyway it was not for the monsoon season. Now he was beginning to rain and almost no tourists. Especially in the section to Lukla, which all fly by plane. And we had to go six days up and down. The trail climbed highest to 3500mnv and went down to 1500mnv in high pass and low valleys, through rivers and villages with different ethnic groups. People were very hardworking and hamlets alike Alpine - clean and tidy stone houses and tidy gardens. It was amazing how the grading and the steepest stove top popcorn slopes planted to rice, potatoes and vegetables. The houses are huge and massive, made of stone, who was hard whittling hand and carries on his back. It is incredible diligence, patience and endurance with which local people have done this. Most of their food grow their own, were brought from the brooks that flowed running water and electricity was made from sun or river. In a word was almost independent of oil, vehicles and the civilized world. Strange feeling to go a month without seeing a single car, and so many villages. The people here are Buddhists stove top popcorn and respect nature and animals. Do not kill animals, not kill even leeches, flies or mice. Eat meat only if someone else killed him. Indeed, animals do not fear, and flies were so quiet that he could push them with your finger without fly. Sometimes birds perched directly on us. We saw some wild deer, but they quickly fled.
