Первый Непал

ну и поехали разведаем и прогуляемся

ну да, конечно может и в следующей жизни, но хочется в этом апреле - мае!

В мае Канчи увидеть проблематично, вот что...во всяком случае из Индии

да вроде так и я прочитала отчет вроде как он по деревням идет с едами и остановками на ночь в лоджах. ну 9 это при совсем медленном темпе, хотя для акклиматизации может так и надо, по отчету добежали за 5.  для начинающих треккеров не показатель.

если не возражаешь вот что по поводу этого пишут на Торн три, если не по теме убери.

The Salpa Pass trail is an interesting to walk into the Khumbu (Everest) region following the unique ecology of the Arun Valley. This trekking trail is known as an ancient trade route used by local people to transport agricultural products to Namche Bazaar to Tibet across via the Nangpa la pass. This trek begins from Tumlingtar and follows the Arun River until we turn into the Irkhu Khola valley, which is also renowned for its natural paper products. This valley takes us to the Salpa Pass towards the holy lake Salpa Pokhari. Friendly and naive villagers with beautiful waterfalls takes us to the second pass of the trek - the Surkie La. Rai and Sherpa people settled in this wonderland of isolated since a long time back This area is renowned for its Tungba - a Sherpa local made alcoholic drink ( local beer). The highest trekking point in this route is Salpa Banjang at 3800m high and the highest camp site is at Salpa Kharka at 3600m. This trek is almost easy which offers you superb views of Mera Peak, Everest, Makalu, and so many others at mighty height above the paddy fields, and dark forests. This is called as the gate way to Makalu-Barun National park.

Day 03: Gothebazaar to Tala / Upper Phedi. We pass through terrace land with rice paddies, Citrus fruits, Banana groves etc. sparsely populated by Rai and Sherpa people. We also can see Nepali paper production from Lokta.
Day 04: Tala / Upper Phedi to Guranse / Salpa Pokhari. We leave the forest with deciduous trees and start with the forest of Rhododendron trees. We can know about local people, their culture and visit the holy lakes.

Day 09: Najing to Pangom. We climb again to the Satu La and finally join main Everest Highway at Kharikhola. 
Day 10: Pangom to Lukla and continue to Gokyo everest base camp,

Tumlingtar to Lukla is more attractive then Jiri everest base camp but i wont say Jiri Everest base camp is bad but Tumligtar Lukla is more attractive, so strongly we recommend it,Salpa pass is 3800m from sea levels so even heavy snow fall won’t be block and we walk often this route because I born part of this region,
Tumlinger to Lukla not much stander lodge along the way so very basic and only get normal local food (Dal bhat) and need to carry same dry food with us, Normal accommodation is available but we have to take sleeping bag with us.

Что посоветуешь  _newra?

Валь, я думала-думала...Все же я тебе не подхожу: у нас разные физические кондиции, тебе Волга под стать, я же в два раза медленнее, а мне не хочется быть балластом. И этот трек мне не особо интересен: мне не понятна его идея)  Насчет Канчи я бы подумала, помню давно перечитала много всего, сейчас подзабылось, не уверена, что трек мне по силам. Правда там, кажется есть 2 подхода, один (южный) проще.
