Being new this forum and buying my first HI khuk only a month ago, I've been wanting to ask how many of you would like to go and visit Nepal. I know right now is not the time to go. Hopefully, the situation will stabilize in the next year.

I spent 3 days in Kathmandu at the end of a 2 week India trip in April 1999. Did not get to see the rest of the country but I liked what I saw quite a bit more than India. If there are enough people interested maybe we can do long range planning for a visit someday.
 
I do...every day! I'm always up for a trip to Nepal. I miss those glorious green foothills! I just want to know if I can set up a visit at Birgorkha on my next trip.
 
jealous of you guys that can go visit.....NOT jealous of the risks and the plane trip over there......:eek:
 
I wanna be the guy to poke Bura with a stick and tell him where to put the cho. ;) :rolleyes: :)

I run fast. :D

Yeah, but i bet Bura throws hard:D Physics guys, what would be the damage bruise would sustain from a 48oz 20"+ AK thrown at say 100' per second? Barring friction and drag and traveling in a linear path with an average rotation (whatever that may be).
:)
j/k Bruise. I'm sure you'd make Bura laugh. he'd probably take you under his wing and you'd come back with the BSN (Brusie Special Nife):)

I'd run in a serpentine pattern throwing aluminum foil strips in the air to foul any radar guided hammers. :rolleyes:

The risks don't bother me (and they are not great if you're smart), but the trip is definitely for the adventure traveler! It is a looooong plane ride (either way you go), with an obligatory looooong layover waiting for a flight into Kathmandu...and then that crazy landing diving into a bowl in the mountains full of clouds and smog with a hard landing.

I don't really mind. I don't travel to be comfortable.

Believe it or not, on my last trip to Nepal I shared a flight into Tribhuvan with Sir Edmund Hillary, who was headed to the Golden Anniversary Celebration. I was looking out the window at Everest rising from the clouds in the distance with Sir Edmund smiling nostalgically a few feet away. Of course, Norgay isn't around anymore...

Oops, I'm getting off topic here, sorry. I didn't mean that to be a celebrating spotting, auto-grph hound sort of anecdote. On the contrary, it was a very profound moment for me.
