one of the benefits of the Dasain festival is that Nepalis slaughter 10,000 animals. Good trailside attraction.




waking up in Trakshindu


Jumbesi

Left early from Lamjura, hiking alone for several hours, getting into the routine of descending for an hour into a valley and then climbing for an hour up a moutain, and then eating more tibetan bread. Repeat. More beautiful scenery; clear mornings, foggy afternoons. Met up with the Canadian, Adrian, again. We would hike together for several days. Stayed the night in Trakshindu near a large monestary. The guesthouse owners barely spoke to us. I imagine that they didn't speak enough english for a conversation.
