Stuck in Kathmandu

[Max]

I’m sitting in a hotel room in Kathmandu after riding a Royal Enfield motorcycle for five days in the Himalayas, as most would know the unrest of the youth protests has been intense and most communications outlets and the airport are shut down. It is now a waiting game but not for the President, he is no longer.

May you make it home safely Max.... Saw some video late last night on YouTube of the crowd rampaging through the president's palace and then attacking the foreign minister in his home, along with his wife with what appeared to be wooden batons. Not for the faint hearted!

In the 800 ks we did we traveled at most less than 60 kph on some of the trickiest and busiest tracks/roads one could imagine all on road bikes. It is the tourist Mecca to reach one of the oldest Buddhist monasteries at nearly 4000metres in the Annapurna region. Avalanches and landslides with washouts, mud, gravel plus water flowing across was quite common. The Grenadier would eat it up.

What a shame they are having this unrest It’s a beautiful country with lovely people.

Safe travels home.

We had a Nepalese "porter" help us with luggage in Ol Dubrovnik.
He was actually some sort of data company employee in Nepal but needed more money for his family.
Less arduous than portering wealthy tourists up the mountains.
