SGTrekker 10D9N Everest Panorama Trek (17-26 March 2011)

[campoes]

23. Our guide for the day is Mr.Nepal...yup his name is really Mr.Nepal and he's indeed from Nepal

24. The first day in Kathmandu ends with a bottle of Special Limited Edition Everest Beer. I admit that I'm sucks in beer tasting, to me all beers taste the same, however I can feel that everest beer is more gassy compared to others.

25. After dinner, it's time to shower to cleanup our body from heavy pollution and dust on the streets, however.......I don't think shower will clean our body.
The water on the left is tap water and right is mineral water hehehe....we should thank that we still can get access to clean and drinkable tap water in Singapore.

Holi Festival...

Hehe... some of the shots of our fellow team mates that SereneXMM and I captured, collated into a simply montage.

Of so many handsome fellows, the one on the lower right hand corner is of course, none other than our Nepali main guide - Mahesh.

Beautiful montage:thumbsup: Thanks limwhow & SereneXMM!

Little Grumpies
I was greeted by these two funny children who gave me a grumpy look which i thought was really funny. I guess they are trying to be different since their parents are smiling behind.

And in my mind, she shouts "Alright. Time for Holi ~!"

And the whole lot rollls out on the streets with powder and water "bombs" all ready for HAPPY HOLI~!

 

[vngks]

Nice capture! :thumbsup:

 

[limwhow]

Nice capture! :thumbsup:

Agree, Agree!
Nice powdery capture!

 

[SgTrekker]

When you are young, you are inquisitive about foreigner.

You gets older and starts to dresss up.

And as your grows older, you become the scary Holi stomp out on the streets to "HOLI~"

Holi was so fun if you participate it in, even our dear comrades here are having great fun ~!

And of cos all fun are not real unless documented! Check out each and everyone's expression here!
