Everything is also more cheaper here than in India. And thats cheap! Counting my budget backwards, I discovered that I had used around 10-15 euros a day in India which is definately too much. Dont even know what I used it on. Maybe it was those damn plane tickets or that silly camera. Anyway the objective here is to keep things under control and below 5 euroes a day so that I can gain some leverage back from the money lost in India. And thats not even hard in these circumstances. Currently I'm paying for a double bed room without a toilet around 0,50 euroes so shouldnt really be a stretch.
After arriving in Nepal, my first destination was Tansen. A small hill station between the border town Sunauli and the major chill out capital Pokhara. Few days went fast when you occupy yourself to some trekking! Finally got my feet wet with that stuff and the first trek lasted for 8 hours, which might have been just a little too much for my feet. The loop took me and one australian girl through fantastic scenary to see Ranighat, the "Nepal's Taj Mahal", which really was prolly the least attractive thing during the whole run. With the Himalayan Annapurna range at a viewable distance and long green valeys streaching as far as the eye can see, you really tend to get into a good mood. The Ranighat was actually situated next to a partially dried up river where the water was clear and torquise. I really couldn't refuse a little dip into it. The way back was all up hill. Some of it steep which made the last hour a real agony. With a little help from my Nepali choclate bar we got through it and the evening was finished with a nice juicy chicken burger at a local restaurant.
