Saurama and now Butwal

ok.....soo much to say but electric is on and off here so will try to keep it quick....visited the Bird Conservation Nepal to sort out climbing equipment, then we head out of Thamal in Katmandu heading west passsed some prefect boulders along side the river system that met up with the Trisuli River. Then headed south to arrive after 6 hours later at Saurama on the edge of the Chitwan National Park (tourism has taken its toll there). Next day I did some unexpected interesting work with some brilliant people from the Biodiversity Conservation Centre. Following day we then headed further west toward Butwal which took a good few hours. Driving around here is amazing and the further west we are heading the more real Nepal it is becoming but everyone still beeps there horns. Today has been great as started the vulture conservation work west of Butwal which is very much untouched. The first tree I started climbing was of great amusement to the locals as I got attacked by some nasty ants, ow how they laughed when i started doing some freaky dancing trying to de-ant myself! keeping my eyes a bit more open for the ants now. So now just recovering from the tree climbing in the midday sun. My neck is strained from not wanting to miss anything. The people are so good and very laid back as you have to be, for example the electric and water is on and off here all the time. I am really starting to enjoy this unstructured life here and is a real breath of free air to be way from the UK structured rules! More Vulture conservation work tomorrow and hopefully no ants. We will be trying to starting as early as possible to avoid the midday sun. Cheers for now and no spell check so bare with me.
