On foot, Nepal

There were many boots sold around Kathmandu and Pokhara. But to get a good pair is not easy. I tried few pairs (from many shops) before settled down for one. I was just lucky enough because this choosen boots fits my feet really well.

We choose to ride horse from Kagbeni to Muktinath. Only 400rp plus a guide for horses. I saw how strong the guide running with us! Interesting riding trip. We got butts pain though.

Airflight between jomsom and pokhara is always unpredictable due to mountain weather. You won't know whether your flight is on till last minute. It was a 18 seated small plane. Sometimes plane would made U-turn instead of flying to destination. Don't be surprised if you have to wait for few days at airport ( One group of my friends waited for 3 days while they trekked on Dolpo region)... so always reserve more days if you need to fly on mountains!

Ask for mr. Dil Panta. I joined a very nice trek with this man - highly recomended.

Sherpa- they'll carry whatever you want. I don't know how they do it, but they do. They'll even carry you if you pay.
