Since it was my second trip to Nepal, there is not much change except trail from Muktinath to Tatopani, where construction of road had begun with noisy 4wd and dusty road. Previously, we share the trail with donkeys and unspoiled natural trail.
Anyway from Khudi trail to Manang, Thorong - La Pass until Muktinath still maintain natural beauty. Some of the trail are quite tough and dangerous especially trail to Tilicho Base Camp but you'll be reward with magnificent mountain range landscape scenery view....
If you have extra day than it is good to spend more time and trek slowly to acclimatization local climate and enjoy landscape scenery view along the trail. Some of them walk too fast but at the end have to ride horse back to Manang due to High Altitude Sickness....
As for me, I lost my vision for 10 sec. every few minute when walking due to HAS on the way down from above 4500m to Yak Kharta Valley around 4000m. It happen suddenly when I kneel down at the bridge and holding my breath to take photo. Lucky it was not that serious and manages to continue walk to Yak Kharta and Thorong Phedi the next day.
Pauline, Mun and Sylvia start trek at 4.00am from Thorong Phedi. Me and Annie riding mountain horse costing Rs 3000 each to cross Thorong - La until highest pass and continue walk down hill to Muktinath with every few minute stop to recover my vision in every 10 sec. but not forgotten to take photos.....
My vision slowly recover after trek down from Muktinath to Kagbeni.
Last day spend all our Rs money at Kathmandu but when our travel agent check with Nepal Airline and inform us that our flight schedule have being cancel to Oct. 24 due to technical reason. Happy because we can spend another two days at 3 star hotel with breakfast, lunch and dinner provided by Airline. Shhhh.....extra two more days unpaid leave and we already spend our money liao......bad timing......
My longest leave so far total 26 days with 13 days unpaid leave......broke liao. After touch down at KLIA an early morning and straightway take ERL train to Putrajaya start working on the same day....
Initially, I told my friends that I take more than 2500 photos but after checking through my external hard disk.....Wow! more than 6000 photos but eventually it'll be delete down to half after edit. It'll take me month or more to solve out the photos before download to my homepage. Hopefully, I can sale some of the photos to recover my expense trip......
As I promise my Nepal friends that I'll use my homepage photos to promote Nepal to all my friends. I would like to take this opportunity to thank Mr.Prem Silwal, Director of Heian Treks & Expendition and his staffs Mr.Hari Gurung (Our Guide), Mr.Parameshwor Thapaliya (our Porter) and Mr.Raj Kumar Gurung (our Porter) for their good service provided on our stay at Nepal. Hope after seeing my photos it'll create an interest from you guys/gals to visit "NATURALLY NEPAL - once is not enough"
I'll download the photos when everything is ready. Meanwhile, I'll transfer other wed-page photos to Multiply to share with you and hope you all wouldn't get bore after seeing all the photos.....
