Hi there friends. Few months ago I went to Nepal, after visiting the amaizing and crowded Kathmandu I decided to take a lil breath and went to the mountains.

7 hours by bus and I arrived to Pokhara, a beautiful city close to the quite and nice lake. After two days I start my route in the city of Nayapul (6h. by local bus from Pokhara)

From there I went up to Ulleri (2070m) nice views and hard journey to there. In the last strech there're 1775 steps. It's recomended not to smoke during the journey and do it at the guest house.

After leaving Ulleri I arrived at Gorepani (3500m). I think this is one of the most beautiful villages I've ever been. Local people there are really friendly, you can buy "charas" (hash) from them and the price... eheheh... it depends on your cleverness.
Once there, get up early, go to Poon Hill and enjoy the views (Daulaghiri, several Annapurna's) if you don't get up early, clouds wont let you enjoy.

During the trek you'll see thousand of Ganjah plants even if you go between Sept. and Oct. you'll collect your own charas with many Shadus who come from the mountains. Unfortunately I went las June so I didn't see it.

After few days I went down to Tattopani. The best place to relax. With really really Hot Springs your muscle problems will be solved

I relaxed here for 3 days and because "No Time" ... I had to return to Pokhara. So I went from Tattopani to Beni (9h) and there I went by bus to Pokhara.

These are some pics from there

My friend went there. Said there is cannabis growing everywhere. He also said they are REALLY into hallucinogens.

ArteSam · 12-03-2006, 07:54 PM

The strongest hallucinogens I've tried were in India (Benares) with a highly super strong Bhang Lassi.
Half and hour and your trip will start, so take care of the place you are and the people who are with you.

Cheers

ArteSam, nice write up and some incredible pictures of the area.
A couple of question for you, did you plan this trip yourself, or did you go though a travel agency, and take a tour? Also if you don't mind me asking, how much did it cost for your length of stay? Thanks .....

Hi there !! How are you?

First of all thanks for your comments.

AzLaker I planned this trip by myself. As I said, I went from Kathmandu to Pokhara by bus (tickets bought in Kathmandu).

In Pokhara I went to a very good Guest House and the family helped me. The man gave me the map I needed and then we went to the Goverment Office to pay 2500 NRs (Nepali Rupees) for the "trekking pass".
After starting I found a kind of Maoist command post and after bargin fpr a while I paid 500 NRs more. So til this moment I paid about 3100 NRs.
The money you pay on food and accomodation depends on your cleverness, but accomodation is about 20 to 150 NRs and food 200-500 NRs per day.

Finally, about the lenght of this trip. I've been from February to June in India and all June in Nepal.

Cheers
