Leaving for KTM tomorrow

[nikky]

Hi, Just a note to say thanks to all you experienced trekkers (Boulia, Escher, Yakshaver, Sharon, Oli, Petrus and many others) who’ve provided relevant, useful advice and information on the 1001 questions this novice had – from preventing blisters to the best place for breakfast. I’ll be in KTM from 20-26 Oct before my EBC-Gokyo trek, and from 14-19 Nov after it. If any fellow TI trekkers would like to meet up for dinner, then you could PM me. I’ll report back on my experiences when I return and hopefully this will be the first of some great times exploring Nepal. Best wishes. Nikky

Without a doubt it will be. Once bitten forever smitten.

Hope you have a great time.

And just to whet your appetite:-

That did it alright! And I won't use the word 'breathtaking' - that will happen soon enough. Thank you.

Have an awesome time and hopefully this will the first of many journeys to the great land.....like most of us here.

Hopefully, I will get back there in 2009

Yes, no matter what people tell you, and how many questions you ask, there's nothing quite like being there... For some it can be overwhelming at first.

Couldn't agree more!
