Nepal Trip 2007: Day 10: Puiyun or Surke 21 October 2007 1:14 pm
Posted by Tracy in : nepal, travel , 1 comment so farPuiyun (altitude 9175 feet, 2796 meters) is also sometimes spelled Poiyan, but it also sometimes doesn’t appear on maps except if it’s this Palya (Chutok) place on my big shiny National Geographic Trails Illustrated map of the Khumbu region. For added confusion, Surke (altitude 7525 feet, 2293 meters) is also sometimes spelled Surkhe, and it’s supposedly just 2 hours further up the trail. I have no idea, really, but I’m sure I’ll find out!

This post was written and scheduled for automagical posting in the week before I left on this crazy adventure. I hope to write many more posts about the trip — you know, with more actual details and pictures and stuff — but for now this is all we’ve got while my intergoogle access is all kinds of sporadic during my travels from October 9 until November 6.
Nepal Trip 2007: Day 9: Bumsing Danda 20 October 2007 1:11 pm
Posted by Tracy in : nepal, travel , add a commentAnother trekking day, but depending on whether we took a rest day on the 18th it might be day 5 or 6; I hereby officially quit trying to keep track ahead of time. Any which way, with a name like Bumsing Danda involved, it had better be good!

Nepal Trip 2007: Day 8 (trekking day 4 or 5): Mani Dingma 19 October 2007 9:09 am
Posted by Tracy in : health, nepal, travel , add a commentHappy birthday to my dad! Also by an astounding coincidence of truly epic proportions, today I am exactly the age my mother was when I was born. As you can probably imagine, our minds were all kinds of blown when we computed this date, oh yes.
Our itinerary for today looks pretty exciting, too: we’re going over Takshindu Pass (9000 feet) to Mani Dingma, also spelled Manidingma in some guidebooks, and sometimes called Nuntale or Nunthala (altitude: 7500 feet, or maybe just 7200 feet/2194 meters, depending on where I read about it). Picture me drinking lots and lots of water and being really excited about altitude sickness medication (which I did not know existed before this trip and I am ever so happy to have learned about).

Posted by Tracy in : nepal, travel , add a commentToday might be trekking day 4, or it might be a rest day in Phaplu. Picture us wrangling Mom’s horse, tee-hee! (Okay, mostly picture me and my brother trying not to constantly collapse into fits of giggles at her equestrianism or lack thereof.)
Once again, here’s Phaplu on Google Maps, courtesy of its very sparse Wikipedia article:
