The bungee jump at the Last Resort in Nepal was great, a huge jump for my first one. And I really liked it. I would have done another one if you didn't have to walk all the way back from down the river, it took around 20 minutes...

I'm not …

For the people who could hear what was going on in Nepal, or did experience the Nepali demonstration in the street, one was going on the day of my departure. At 10am, when I was eating my big last breakfast on the terrace of the Hotel, I could hear all …

With Gilles we went 2 days at The Last Resort to do a bungee jump and one day of rafting. The bungee jump was incredible, 160m between the bridge and the river, so maybe a jump of 120m. It gives you plenty of time to think that it needs to …

Finally I managed to write down a short version of the trek & adventures that happened during our fabulous trek in the rolwaling region. We went there between the 27th of September and the 12th of October 2008.

Finally I recovered from my 3 days in bed after having a drink with ice cubes made with bad water. Yesterday we went to The Himalayan Blues Festival held in the Garden of Dreams (the nicest place you can find in Kathmandu) 5 minutes from our Hotel. We went there …

For sure, you can’t drink the water from the tap. And on some of the water bottle you can find this nice remark about the quality of water:

Thirst Pi is 100% Natural Spring Mineral Water. Untouched by human hands, water from the only In-House Natural Spring Source in …

We wanted to go in the Kangshung valley, next to the Everest, to make an expedition to traverse 2 passes: the Karpo La, and the Lhapka La. The route would start from Kharta, passing a pass somewhere at 5000m to join the Kangshung valley. From there we would walk up …
