Nepal in February
I've just returned from Nepal after visiting Kathmantu & Pokkara with a 5
days trip hiking to Poonhill. I've seen checkpost set up at the entrance and important buildings in the city, all cars entering a city must go through the check point, local bus passengers need to get out of the car for a routine security check (so traffic jam occur........ ) I think it's safe in the city but if u go hiking, its really different. I've been told by the travel agency in Kathmantu that I may seen the maoist in the mountain but my guide in Pokkara tell me that everyone MUST seen them...... It's true that I've meet them at the entrance of a village. Every hikers are ask to give donations. They ask for 2000 rupees per person but my guide bargain with them and I just paid 500 rupees. Although there is just one thin man with no guns or weapons saying he is a maoist, I don't think it's good to refuse to give a donation...... By the way the US already issuse a travel warning, I'm afraid the problems will geting worser..... -- Welcome to My home page -- contains many cats photo http://www.homepage.mac.com/mcwoo "Matthew Crider" ¦b¶l¥ó ¤¤¼¶¼g...
