We can try together this challenge. Good fitness and very motivated for Nepalese an Tibet culture. Initially,first week on march would be a right date for me.

I remain waiting your answer

Hi Nicci,

This is incase you set off later than you planned for.

I will be arriving in Kathmandu on 15.3 and want to leave on the circuit as soon as I have got some equipment and perhaps a porter. This is my first trek. That you have been living in Nepal is of course most interesting.

Keep in touch if your trip gets delayed for any reason.

Cheers,

Trinanjan

Hi Nicci,
If my experience is still valid (it is approx 15 years old however) then you would probably have no problems at all to join people while trekking in the Annapurna region. However, if you still do not have any partners and do not want to start alone: I decided to join good friends of mine (a couple, Johannes: 43yrs, Miriam:35yrs), unproblematic to travel with, on a trip to Nepal. All three of us, i think, would not mind company of somebody able to speak a bit Nepali and sombody who can tell about his experience of working in Nepal. I myself have been in Nepal decades ago (1978/79 on a 1 year trip through asia, and 4yrs later again for more trekking) and at that time I liked the idea of come there to work, but since I studied physics instead of engineering (or something more useful in that respect anyway), it never happened. I myself am now aged 43, named Andreas, german like the others, living in the Netherlands, still living more or less like a student (-but would not be surprised to be considered too old to travel with by the way-). Fitness is probably a bit on the low side, although motivation high enough even to stop smoking and cycling to work every day. Flight tickets are ordered for 27th of februari, return 27 of march. Most time planned for trekking, Annapurna round trip if the wheather allows it. Otherwise Sanctuari, Jomosom + a bit further, not planned yet.

Cheers
Andreas
