Ready, Steady, Go!

Before we came to live in the Du, we had a savings account which was always referred to as the Himalaya fun. We planned to bring the children for a Himalayan trek as soon as they were old enough and we had enough money.....our ideas about when this might be were pretty nebulous.... When we got here, a lot of that fund was spent on the naughty red car below. Car tax runs at 200% here: this basic (utterly) 1997 jeep cost more than twice what we got when we sold our fully MOT'd, air-conditioned, well-suspensioned, extremely comfortable, kids' car seat containing Vectra.
But we have nevertheless just got back from our first Proper Trek as a family - Nayapul - Ulleri - Ghorpani - Poon Hill - Ghandruk - Nayapul.

We spent a couple of days in Pokhara first.






And went paddling on and swimming in Phewa lake.









And sat around in restaurant gardens for a while, watching the crows watching us.






Ready to go!
