Naar Kathmandu door naar de Annapurna een geweldige tocht

In Kathmandu wacht onze gids Tika ons op. we gaan deze vakantie de Annapurna massief beklimmen. Eerst kijken we een paar dagen rond in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur. Het maakt erg veel indruk. Tika heeft veel informatie en weet waar we de mooiste plaatsjes kunnen vinden. Dan begint de klimtocht, in een woord geweldig. Het is wel pittig om iedere dag 9 uurtjes te lopen in de bergen. Komend jaar gaan we nog eens terug naar Nepal, Tika gaan we zeker vragen om ons te begeleiden.
