We opted to fly, but this time it wasn't time or monetary considerations that swung it. It was the fact that the roads in Nepal are among the most treacherous in the world. 30 times more dangerous than those in the UK according to our book, with buses particularly vulnerable on the narrow mountain passes.
So we took the 30 quid air fare on the chin and boarded our Yeti Airlines (sic) Fokker (snigger) and were lakeside in the gorgeous little town of Pokhara half an hour later.
Not a great deal of time to enjoy the scenery mind, as we've lots of planning and sorting to get through before we set off on our 10-12 day hike.
