Eric
Southwick, our son, wanted us to experience an international expedition
style river trip in Nepal and so..... it began!
From Albuquerque to Japan to Bangkok (27 hours travel time!!!) with a short stay to re-group with others on the trip, breakfast, Thai massage and off to the airport for Katmandu, Nepal. Our senses were geared up wanting to be in the moment the whole time - a lifetime adventure in travel modes, cultures, flexibility, oh yeah... a honeymoon, and we can not forget ... the river adventures unsurpassed. Big water from the base of the Himalayas, steep mountain canyons, extended monsoon rains made for some exciting and formidable rapids....paddle rafts, kayakers, gear boats. Our trip was punctuated w/ several returns to Katmandu for regrouping. The rivers in Nepal were: The Karnali (Plan A)-yes, there were crocodiles!, Sun Kosi(Plan B), and The Tamur w/ a 4 day trek thru the foothills of the Himalayas to reach the river put-in with Katchenchenga Peak looming in the distance. There were side trips to Bardia National Park with elephant rides thru the Tarai (jungle) in search of the 3-toed Rhino. Our various interactions with the Nepali people, from the river guides, to tribal leaders, children.... from the streets of Katmandu to the rural villagers. Bus rides on narrow steep roads winding up the mountain sides from the river valley, the horn honking "discussions" of traffic, The Monkey Temple, shopping, from city to rural and back.... airports - foods, water, and more... Come check it out! What's your next adventure? |
