what the situation like in Nepal

Just got back from a 16 day trip there. Took my 5 kids and husband and we went to Kathmandu and did the Goreponi Poon Hill circuit. As for politics, etc, it was no big deal at all. I was concerned because of my kids and all, (aged 10-19), but at no time did we feel threatened or unsafe. Just watch out for leeches on the trek - haha. Anyway, We had a good guide. He was local, and I found out about him through another Trip Advisor person from Washington, and so we skipped a US company, (who usually farm out the work to Nepali companies, who sometimes just get guys off the street to be guides). There were several ';lost'; groups on the trek with guides who had never even been in the area. They were asking my guide all kinds of questions. Anyway, if you have any questions, let me know, re: what to bring, things that worked for us, things that didn%26#39;t, etc. Are you planning a trek?

hi

thanks for that - we love nepal and going back next feb for a whole month yippiee - not doing a trek but want to go parahawking in Pokara and rafting to chitwan -the kids love the jungle and want to join in the colour full festivites in the HOLI festival - where did you stay in Pokhara??

Oh, I loved where we stayed in Pokhara mainly because of the two little girls that live there!! Susmilla, 7, and Sanjairah, 4. Their father was killed by Maoists a couple years back, and so the owner of the guest house (New Elite%26#39;s Guest house) is taking care of them and putting them through school. Their mother is also taking care of two young boys. Anyway, it was comfortable, and had a nice fan, clean bathroom, and clean sheets and towels. The address is Lakeside, Baldam-6.
