Sg Chiling Waterfall 4 Feb 2007




Decided to chill out at Sg Chilling waterfall given the long spell of hot weather. Trek time taken was only an hour to the Lower Fall and another 5 minutes to the Upper Fall. Noted that changing facilities and a bridge for the first river crossing were being built. No rubbish in sight and the area was well maintained.

Kem Pacat (aka Leech Camp) 1 Feb 2007




We started at 9 a.m. from the base Resort (200m) and arrived at Kem Lolo (555m) 2 hours later, at 11 a.m. After lunch and having rested enough we made an impromptu decision to trek to Kem Pacat (1045m). We started off 1 p.m. and arrived at 2.30 p.m. after trekking for 11/2 hours. We proceeded our downhill trek at 3.00 p.m. and arrived at Kem Lolo at 4.00 p.m. After a feast of fruit, we trekked back to the Base Resort at 4.25 p.m. and arrived at 5.50 p.m. (11/2 hrs). A very satisfying trek... the weather was favourable and the trail was dry.

Nepal Chitwan & Kathmandu 24-28 Dec 2006





After the hectic return from the Jomsom Trek (http://happyotrekker.blogspot.com/2010/05/nepal-jomson-trek-pt-3-21-23122006.html), we headed towards the Chitwan National Park, which was granted the status of a World Heritage Site in 1984, to relax and thereafter to Kathmandu for sightseeing and shopping. The December month was definitely not the right season to visit the Park for the animals were hibernating and the forest in the state of debilitation from the cold weather.
