I donno...I was looking forward to going around the 20 October for 4-5 weeks,but looking at the situation Im put off,which depresses me greatly.Ive not booked anything,I tend to leave things to the maybe a few weeks beforehand and then book last minute.
The violence in Pokhara and kathmandu bothers me;it seems the conflict is about to intensify.
My guide from last february has written twice to persuade me to get over soon,but I think I'll wait till March -April.I feel a bit guilty as I did say Id be over October-he has a young family to support and has not trekked with anyone since I departed Jiri.
I'd like to hear from the maoists that kidnapping tourists is not on the agenda,and that tourists are welcome to visit.
Cant really blame the maoists being twitchy about UK and US visitors-especially when the west is supplying the Royal Army with equipment.
The whole thing is a diabolical mess that could end up like Cambodia, or worse.
