Nepal
Christmas holidays in 2015 provided the opportunity to visit a place we had been keen to visit ever since our friend first went there and raved about it, unfortunately 10months earlier Nepal had been hit by a massive and devastating earthquake. Despite some reluctance we felt that as was the case with the Tsunami and the Bangkok floods we felt helping the tourist industry in our own small way would be a positive. This was confirmed when we arrived to the Nepalese warm hospitality
Katmandu
Even having seen the images of devastation caused by the April earthquake on TV we were still not prepared for the level of destruction that remained 10 months later or the resilience of the locals as they went slowly about rebuilding their lives.

Pune Hill treck
Over 4 days we trekked the magnificent mountains of the lower Annapurna region, along stunning river valleys, through picturesque rural villages and up winding hillside steps. The pre-dawn ascent of Poon Hill (3210m) to watch the sunrise being the focus of the walk

Pokara
New years eve and new years day were a chance for us to explore this fascinating city, on the shores of Phewa Lake, that is the gateway to the Annapurna ranges.
