Europe to Nepal by land
Unforgetable journey from the heard of the Europe by buses and trains througth Turkey,Irand,Pakistan and India to Nepal.
Walking to the base camp of Mt.Everest and swimming in Indian Ocean. A great trip.
This journey began in Europe,Spring 1995 when I travelled with a few friends to India by land. We left
Prague by train and travelled through Hungry and Romania. We swapped the
train to bus in Bucharest(RO). Then, with many bus changes we travelled
through Turkey to Zahedan (Iran). There is no regular transport between
Zahedan and Queta (Pakistan)so we had to hire a taxi. The rest of the trip
we went by train again. The whole journey took us 10 days and cost an
unbelievable $US 100 ! From India to Nepal we travelled by bus again. The
road ends at the village Jiri. From there we had to walk one week to reach
the peak of Kalapatar. I did the rest of the travelling in India by train.
The way back was the same. The pictures below are a selection of what I
photographed, mainly in Nepal.
Children are one of the most gratifying objects to photograph. This picture
of a women was taken in a poor suburb of Dehli, near the central station.
A crying baby is not wearing a nappy, instead it has trousers cut on the
inside.
This smoking man was happy to
pose for me. He used a handkercheif instead of a cigarette filter. Would
you accept his offer ?
Cows are sacred animals in
India and enjoy absolute freedom. The bars in the coach windows prevent
people getting in and out through the windows. The children on the
platform are selling water from ceramic pots.
This picture is from a
week-long walking journey to Katapatar. This path is following the river
and the lanscape around is spectacular.
Finally I reached my
high-altitude goal. Kalapatar 5545 m. Mt. Everest is in the backround,
three kilometers above me. The traveller usually builds small towers for
good luck on their travels.
A typical Nepalese village in
the poor, west part of the country.
Only yaks are used in these
extreme conditions.
Lunch in the desert near
Radjastan's town Puskhar. Our lunch cooked by the guides, included bread
and tea for us cooked in only three pots!
An unexpectedly good shot of a
young girl, who was happy to pose for me.
Above the town of Pushkar in
Radjastan is a monastery. The monk is standing on the roof in this
picture..
