Kolkata (SE India) to Kathmandu
Was just thinking about popping over for a look around and interested to see if anyone has any thoughts. it is just in the planning so need to make a decision within a few weeks.
Air Asia Gold Coast to Kolkata 15th Dec, return from Kathmandu 5th Jan. 3 weeks.
This would be a solo (no family and i haven't told wife yet) trip so back packing, public transport, bike, truck whatever just need to be a Kathmandu a few days before the flight. could do 7-8 days India then Nepal????
I would like to do some bike riding over there but not 100% necessary. as a rough measurement it is 800k but lets just say 1000k.
a few days on a bike would be good so has anyone been up near there?? Eastern Nepal across to Kathmandu or through India to the Border at Birgunj then up to Kathmandu.
any ideas or pointers would be good. is the Altitude hard to handle is it still a problem after the earth quake??
thanks Allan
