Castle in the snow

-


Today, as if we were being treated to some meteorological April Fool, we woke to a fresh fall of snow. A trip up to the castle on top of the town was already planned so it was a good opportunity to grab the camera and capture the town looking moody. By early evening we had beautiful spring sunshine; we were out at the lakes by then and they were looking lovely. However the camera stayed in its bag, so this April 1st will go down on (video) record as a gray and snowy one.

The Everest Base Camp trek has been the most popular attraction in the Khumbu region, north east of Kathmandu since the peak was conquered in 1953. Its scenery is amongst the most dramatic in the Nepal Himalaya and takes you closer to the ice covered giants than many other trails.

It is not an easy trek and requires a fair level of fitness and stamina as the trail begins at 2780m with your 35 minute Mountain flight to Lukla and after the first day is mainly above 3000m. Mountain Mart’s adventure team has designed this trek to minimise the risk of AMS (mountain sickness) by including two rest days and keeping the hours walked and the daily rise in altitude to a minimum.

Everest Base Camp Trek is, unquestionably, a lifetime adventure experience for the trekkers. This is the most perused trekking trail among various trails in Nepal. Research shows that 80 % of the total tourists who come to Nepal have a dream to go to Everest Base Camp and they want to witness the top of the world, Mt. Everest along with another world's highest mountains above 8 thousand meters. Since every traveler’s dream is to witness Mt. Everest from Everest Base Camp, they start with other easy and moderate treks and ultimately they do Everest Base Camp. The trekking trail, Everest Base Camp Trek having been located at the highest altitude in the world offers a wide variety of Himalayan insights as an entire insight of Nepal Himalaya. The trail you use to go to Everest Base Camp is the legendary trekking trail used by two legendary climbers, Tenzing Norgay Sherpa and Edmund Hillary who successfully scaled the top of the world, Mt. Everest.

They've done it

If you watch the video you'll see a guy lighting a flare in celebration moments after Bosnia and Herzegovina qualified for the FIFA World Cup in Brazil. For him it was a surreal evening. I don't want to speak for anyone else, but I know how he felt because he told me. I also remember him once telling me: you don't understand, England always qualify for tournaments. English fans will know that qualification, when it happens, doesn't often come without some drama. But the point stands, England expect to qualify, and more often than not they do. Tonight is truly historic for Bosnia and Herzegovina. They have never qualified for a major tournament as an independent nation...until now. They made the playoffs for the last Euros and World Cup, losing to France and Portugal. We heard people try to offset the double disappointment with conspiracy theories as to why they came so close but remained so far. This time those are just not necessary. There will be in Brazil.

Where's winter?!

Today is FIS World Snow Day . Last year we were out on a very patchy piste making the most of some less than ideal conditions at the slope above Jajce. This year there isn't a ski lift working in the whole of Bosnia and Herzegovina! You can't even say it's been a bad winter, it's barely been winter at all. There was a snow fall in November. A few resorts got enough of a base to open up for a week or two. We managed a trip to Vlašić on 21 st December, the day before World Snowboard Day . It was squeezed into a really busy period of work but the decision to head for the hills when we did looks better and better the longer winter waits to put in a proper appearance. Since the New Year the forecast has been promising snow 'next week'. It's well known that tomorrow never comes; next week has been showing even less intention to turn up. Locals tells us tales of a town virtually besieged by snow during their childhood winters. Even allowing for a little exagge...
