Back home

Hi, Nepal was a blur of chai tea, tree climbing and daal baat. The trip was another very rewarding experience. Please find below a few pictures. Steve

Chitwan

Hi,

Just got to Chitwan after a long days driving. Things went quick with the views constantly changing from the pine forests of the higher hills through to the lower tarai. All is very good but I am a little numb from the last couple of weeks adventure. The plan is to head to Kathmandu tomorrow morning and then fly back to the UK on Friday. Picture and more details to follow!

Cheers Steve

Progress

Hi, sorry for the lack of posts but things have been nonstop. Days have merged into one and things have been challenging but very rewarding. I am currently in Butwal sitting in the restaurant of a hotel writing this post on a laptop. This feels a million miles away from this morning where we were working out in the field climbing sal trees to gain access to vultures nests. Things are going along well with the work but the plan changes on an hour by hour bases which can prove interesting. I have now stopped asking “whats the plan” and starting to enjoy the unknown of where we are going and when will we get there. This is very different from life back home and one I do miss.

So to sum up the past few days I think this list of words may give you an idea:

Vultures chicks, dust, snakes, catapults and tangled throw lines, tigers, ants, heat, daal baat, tag+salt+water, ropes+harness, rhinos,tree climbing, sore limbs, sun cream factor 50, streamed up sun glasses, yoga, interesting car journeys, hanging on ropes, buffalos, heat, large trees small vulture chicks, small trees large vulture chicks, vulture restaurants, bananas, nuts, chai tea, daal baat and more chai tea!

It has taken a little while to get into this groove but things are all good!

Any news in the UK?
Thanks Steve
