Breakfast with the falcons

Sitting on the roof top restaurant one morning, we were just having a classic indian hotel - continental type breakfast (big choice of jam butter tost, beg bins, poshed eggs, pen cakes and other cerials), when we spotted that there were a few more falcons...

Trekking in the Anapurna region

Too many long walks, too many steps… but the amazing views help you to forget the pain! We now clearly know that Trekking is not our favourite hobby (didn’t we know it before going?), and although quite rewarding at times, the only thing there is to do...

Club India cafe

After a long day getting our trip to Rajasthan organized, it was time for our first meal at the Club India cafe, recommended by our good friend Rocky from Vedi's International. (apparently one of the few real "gvt approved" travel agents...)The cafe is...

Try this at home !!

Just been to a cultural dance, music and puppet show evening out in Udaipur. Nice music although the signing gets a little irritating... but most impressive were some of the dances, especially considering the age of some of the performers (aging mothers,...

Yack that !

The day started with the visit of Pushkaar, where we unexpectedly bumped into Florian, the Swiss guy we had briefly met in Jaisalmer (La Mystica restaurant). This was a nice opportunity to share what we'd been up to in the mean time around some fresh...

Rajasthan: Jodhpur (only a few random power cuts)

One of the best cities we've done so far, nicknamed the Blue City. Plenty of interesting places to visit, a buzzing market/bazaar and not too much hassle from street vendors. Apparently the Tourist Police have been quite tough on local thiefs (children...

A long trip to Pokhara… too long!

This time we managed to get our train… unfortunately it arrived at 2:30 am, two hours late, not much fun when you‘ve been waiting since eleven. (not just the signs that remind you of the London underground...) Six hours later we wake up just in time to...

Rafting and “roofing” it to Kathmandu…

We took the convenient option of a rafting trip between Pokhara and Kathmandu so that we could leave from one and return to the other. We weren’t to sure what to expect as the guy who sold us the trip told us it was a level IV river (you have I to VI...

A holiday in the holiday…

After ending the first part of our trip, we thought we’d treat ourselves to a little rest in a familiar and pleasant surrounding… make that Krabi, Thailand. Or good old Railey beach to be more precise. We’d spent a week down there when we were in Thailand...

End of Rajasthan: Jaipur

Not sure if it’s because we were on the end of our trip in Rajasthan or just because it is really unpleasant, but we didn’t like this city at all. Polluted more than any other place we‘d been to (we later found out that Agra isn’t any better). But the...
