Hey guys,

I haven't think about this earlier, but now I realized that harvest is propably done when I get there.. I'm arriving to Nepal after three weeks, so at least there should be something good to taste...

I just hope it's not that cold there during the winter time..

hi,
you will have cold nights from september on, depending on the altitude.
The winter is really cold, even in the valleys, and smoky...the houses don't have
chimneys, ghosts could flyin :-)
so it's: you're freezing or you're cughing from smoke :-)

there will definitely be som charas, as there is always some. but if you want to go charas trekking you'd better be there i n october to get the fresh one and to have the choice.
I wouldn't recommend Nepal in winter. everyone who can moves to the lower parts, such as terrai, hardly one tourist is found in winter.
But if you like it really rough, and like the experience, there's hardly a better way to get to know the people, you will stay on small space with them in the mountains.

right it bugs here too.
especially in kosal there are lots of israelies even the menues are in hebrew.
it used to be the italian colony for three or more decades, they all moved away, and are pissed.
for the israelies it's paradise:-)
you can meet some while travelling from and to kosal, but they seem to be glued there, in dehli (kashmiri gate tourist camp) i bet you meet some there too.
they are doing business with the melana tribe, so you will meet them up there too.

mmm interesting, its good to know that...im not big friend with israelies...
thanks man
take care
sincerely
