Nowadays I'm not sure if would go so far northwest (it's about 500 miles NW from Kathmandu IIRC) - you are aware that there were violent Maoistic insurgents around Simikot? . I'm not sure what's the situation there today (I would look for info on Thorny Tree or some other backpacking BBS)Caroline said:Thanks for the tips, Sailor. Right now the plan is to trek in May, in the western part of the country. We fly to Simikot (which i cannot even find on the map), then trek to the Tibetan border and into Tibet. Sounds like a lot of work! ;-)
Sounds like you've been to Nepal at least once, Sailor -- did you love it, hate it, or....?
And for the record I loved the country and people in Nepal.
