On a passé la frontière au poste Chong Mek (Thaïlande)-Vang Tao (Laos). Avec possibilité de faire le visa “on arrival” au Laos. How and where to cross the Thailand-Laos border In transit from Bangkok to Pakse, we crossed the border at Chong Mek (Thailand) and Vang Tao (Laos). With the possibility of making the “on arrival” visa on the Laos side. If you see this building, you are on the right track. It's 6 o'clock in the morning. The immigration office in Chong Mek opens. In less than five minutes, we line up, give our “departure form” to an agent posted behind his window and then have our passport stamped to leave Thailand. He shows us the way to the Laotian immigration office. The “on arrival” visa costs $31 Before getting there, you have to go through an underground tunnel of a few tens of meters (who knows why) then go about 100 meters further, to the immigration office. We fill out the “arrival form”, give $31 ($30 for the visa, 10,000 kips since the agents are on staggered schedules) and we wait quietly. Ten minutes later, we leave for Paksé visa in hand!

Pour aller en Bolivie, nous avons opté pour le poste-frontière de Corumba (Brésil). Une seule recommandation : soyez patients. How and where to cross the border Chile - Argentina On the way to Ushuaia, we crossed the Chile-Argentina border at San Sebastian. A simple formality. After Torres del Paine, the next stop will be in Ushuaia. So we embark with the Bus Sur company for a 10-11 hour journey from Punta Arenas to the famous “fin del mundo”.

Étape assez peu prisée dans le Rajasthan, Bundi possède de nombreuses beautés à découvrir. Au programme, un fort abandonné, de magnifiques réservoirs et un peu de chill en terrasse. What to do in Bundi? Not very popular stage in Rajasthan, Bundi has many beauties to discover. On the program, an abandoned fort, magnificent reservoirs and a bit of chill on the terrace. Nagar Sagar Kund, in the middle of town Cenotaph, lake and reservoirs The old town serves as a peaceful retreat.away from the noise , in the middle of the cows, laughing to the rhythm of the monkey races on the roofs. However, a small tour in the new city offers other discoveries. A combo ticket (500 rupees in October 2018) includes entrance to Rani Ji Ki Baori Reservoir and its impressive gate, Kipling's Palace by Jait Sagar Lake, and the 84-pillar cenotaph. On the way, the twin wells of Nagar Sagar Kund (free) constitute a very nice stop even if the waste spoils the beauty of the place. Rooftops, sunsets and reggae Light is its best asset. At sunset, the roofs of Bundi reflect their most beautiful brilliance. And it's time to taste thalis, aloo gobi or sweet lassis. To enjoy it, the city offers many rooftops on which to spend a few hours in the evening. According to our totally subjective experience, the superb welcome of the Guddu family, at the Guddu Palace, and their reggae playlist are number one for chill evenings in Bundi. Plan wide for the palate It overlooks the city. From some high windows, the view over the blue roofs of Bundi is splendid. Even more at sunset. The old Bundi Palace, unoccupied and not really maintained, strikes with its raw beauty. Upon entering through the huge door, the visitor is immersed in an atmosphere combining nature and history. And the walk can last for hours getting lost in the halls of the palace. Don't miss the abandoned tanks The discoveries continue higher. In the Chitrasala mural gallery first. Then in the strong Taragarh. Abandoned, these ruins leave room for the imagination. Wandering among the crumbling walls, gain height for a panorama of the magnificent Bundi. Above all, push your visit to the water reservoirs. In the middle of the trees, the well is completely natural. Savage. The contrast is striking with those located in the city, filled with waste. View of Bundi Palace from Taragarh Fort Can we enter Chitrasala for free? The subject irritates everyone. In Bundi, two versions oppose each other. In the center, the Chitrasala. A pretty gallery of turquoise murals bordered by a garden. The place is public. And free. Well, it's not that simple. Because the monument is wedged between the palace of Bundi and the strong Taragarh, deprived. And paying. Former properties of the Maharaja, these two buildings were open to the public until his death. But his nephew, the only heir, decided to charge admission... even to the inhabitants of Bundi. No more cricket games on the fort for the local kids. And hello confusion. Because today, a sign posted at the entrance to Bundi Palace reads “ Chitrasala, free entry ”. Certainly, but as you must first enter the palace, it is impossible to avoid payment. So you can then enter the Chitrasala for free. But only after paying. You understood ?

Idéal pour les randos, Storms River Mouth constitue un arrêt immanquable sur la Garden Route, en Afrique du Sud. Why camp 2 nights at Storms River? Ideal for hikes in the Tsitsikamma National Park, the Storms River Mouth rest camp is an unmissable stop along the Garden Route in South Africa. The setting is idyllic. On one side, the forest as the starting point for hikes in the Tsitsikamma National Park. On the other, the music played by the waves of the Indian Ocean. And, in the middle of it all, you. With your tent. Flanked between Plettenberg Bay and Knysna, Storms River Mouth is an ideal starting point for your journey (from East to West) on the Garden Route. In addition to this picturesque setting, which alone justifies spending two nights in a tent and admiring the sunset(s), this camp will appeal to hikers. Picnic in front of Tsitsikamma Falls For the more seasoned, this is where the famous Otter Trail and its 42km begins. But everyone will find their account. In particular with a short course of 4-5 kilometers to the Tsitsikamma falls. Wedged between the falls and the sea, installed on the nearby rocks, it's time for a well-deserved picnic. In the area, it is also possible to easily go to a suspension bridge (one or two kilometers from the location of the tents) to enjoy the view. And, of course, to return in time for the sunset. If time permits, spend two nights rather than one at Storms River Mouth camp, even if it means skipping the Nature's Valley or Wilderness stages. A little advice...

Depuis que la construction des routes s’intensifie sur le parcours du trek des Annapurnas, il n’existe plus vraiment un itinéraire classique à parcourir. De Bhulbhule à Ratipana en passant par le Tilicho Lake, voici le nôtre, entre 12 et 15 jours. What itinerary for the Annapurna trek? Since the construction of the roads intensifies on the route of the Annapurna trek, there is no longer really a classic route to follow. From Bhulbhule to Ratipana via Tilicho Lake, here is ours, between 12 and 15 days. Let's be clear, there is no classic route on the Annapurna trek. You will often come across the same hikers on the way, but they will surely have started before you and planned to finish after you. Or vice versa. Our itinerary, from Bhulbhule to Ranipata is quite adaptable. For example, you can spend more time in Manang, go faster at the end, take more time at the start or skip Tilicho Lake. But in the meantime, here is our journey. Day 3: from Timang to Upper Pisang (22kms, +700m) Transition day. The terrain is fairly flat and the climb gradual. A few streams brighten up the hike and the nearby mountains start to look really impressive. Day 4: Upper Pisang to Braka (13kms, +200m) After a big climb (500m drop over 5 kilometers) to Ghyaru, the landscape is splendid. First the village, with the farandoles of Buddhist prayer flags. And the decor in the background: peaks at 7,000m. We begin to feel the beauty and freshness of the altitude. We stop at Braka to anticipate our round trip to Ice Lake the next day but you can extend to Manang. On the menu: cinema, refueling, lower prices and relaxation before attacking the high altitudes. Here, most of the hikers do a day of acclimatization. Day 6: from Braka to Tilicho Base Camp (17kms, +800m) The climb is gradual up to Tilicho Base Camp. The altitude begins to be felt so it is a question of being considerate. Especially since the destination has been popular with Nepalese since a famous film like " Fires of Love " was shot at Tilicho Lake. If necessary, cut this stage in two by stopping at Yak Kharka or Shreekharka. Just to arrive early enough at Tilicho Base Camp and make sure you have a bed, very popular at this altitude. Bhulbhule 840m Jagat 1400m Dharapani 1860m Timang 2600m chame 2650m Lower Pisang 3200m Upper Pisang 3300m Manang 3519m Shree Kharka 3800m Tilicho Base Camp 4200m Tilicho Lake 4919m Churi Ledar 4200m Thorung Phedi 4450m Thorung La 5416m Altitudes by location FYI, our elevations and distances are based on maps.me . Always check what the application provides because some days are a bit of a yo-yo and you do more elevation than what you are told. Day 10: Thorung High Camp - Thorung La Pass - Ratipana (13kms, +550m, -1,750m) Depending on your walking pace, the departure takes place between 2 and 4 am, to arrive at the same time as the daylight at the Pass and above all to avoid the wind, which rises quite early. Very linear, this portion of just under 4 kilometers is done almost in single file. To reach the Thorung La Pass after the last 550 meters of elevation. Up there, you will find many faces crossed during the hike, the enthusiasm is contagious and the smiles and warm hugs contrast with the wind, which is icy at times. After savoring your ascent, chatting with old acquaintances and appreciating your effort, the descent to Muktinath awaits. With a panorama of a foretaste of Mustang (next destination?). The precaution is in order because, even if you think that the hardest part is behind you, the descent is perilous. Especially because the hiker is relieved. After 1.8 kilometers of elevation gain and 14 kilometers of walking, you are in Ranipauwa. Some will sleep there and prolong the pleasure of walking the next day. Others will leave by transport to Jomsom. Either to catch a plane (whose only daily takeoff is conditioned by the wind) the next morning, or to return to Pokhara after an epic bus ride. What largely remember the anecdotes accumulated during the hike. Day 1: from Bhulbhule to Jagat (19 kms, +600m elevation gain) This day is quite gradual and takes you through the rice fields. The t-shirt is out and you wonder why you carried such warm things in your bag. This stage can be shortened or lengthened because many villages are located near Jagat. Day 2: Jagat to Timang (22kms, +1,200m) Like the day before, a portion of the route is made up of stony paths where 4x4s will throw dust at you without pity. The arrival at Timang, after a good drop of 500m over 4 or 5 kilometers is dazzling. From the village, in October, you can see the surrounding snow-capped peaks. And we finally understand why we took our fleece on board. Day 5, acclimatization: Braka - Ice Lake - Braka (12.5kms, +1,200m, -1,200m) Leaving early in the middle of the yaks and followed by the dogs, we arrive at Ice Lake with the dawning light. The show is splendid. The snow-capped mountains on the slope facing the first lake, located a few meters from Ice Lake, are reflected in the water. The mirror effect is stunning. The secret to attending this masterpiece of nature: leave early. On the way back, dozens and dozens of hikers make the climb and will not take advantage of the tranquility of the place. In any case, not alone. This acclimatization day also allows you to make climbs that are more " légères " in terms of altitude difference. If the landscape at Ice Lake, at 4,600m, is breathtaking, keep in mind that this day should allow you to better prepare for the rest of the hike. Day 7: Tilicho Base Camp - Tilicho Lake - Upper Shreekharka (16kms, +870m, -1,050m) From 4am, hikers file past to complete the many switchbacks to Tilicho Lake. After a few hours of climbing - manage your pace well, one of us learned it the hard way, we're not kidding at that altitude -, the azure blue of Tilicho Lake is offered to you, at the middle of the mountains. The effort is amply rewarded, enjoy. After the descent, time to debrief your impressions after discovering this superb panorama and you are already in Upper Shreekharka. Where, once again, rooms are prized. Day 8: Upper Shreekharka - Churi Ledar (13kms, +200m) After the spectacle of Tilicho Lake, the Thorung La Pass is offered to you. After having turned back towards Shreekharka the day before, you head towards Churi Ledar in a walk of almost scrubbing compared to the effort of the day before. At Churi Ledar, arriving early enough, you will have a good bed and something to treat yourself to a good meal in the “ bien Chaud ” space (everything is relative ) from the common room. From there, you really understand why you have so much stuff for the cold in your bag. Day 9: Churi Ledar - Thorung High Camp (6kms, +700m) Depending on how fit you are, decide to sleep at Thorung Pedi or High Camp instead. Arriving before 9:30-10am at High Camp should get you a decent room. In the afternoon, acclimatize a little by climbing to the nearby viewpoint to admire a last panorama of this side of the valley. The atmosphere is quite special. All hikers feel the end of their walk and the spirit is quite cheerful all day. Everyone expresses their excitement, their favorite moments of the hike and their doubts before crossing the Pass. Then comes the night, cold it must be said, before the final ascent. To avoid MAM (acute mountain sickness), we advise you to talk a lot with your co-hikers. Do not hesitate, in case of fatigue, shortness of breath, headache, to warn your companions that you would like to slow down. It is necessary to watch out for the warning signs as much as possible in order not to suffer from MAM and to make the most of the hike. Everyone reacts differently depending on the altitude and every hiker can suffer from MAM, even if it has never happened to them. We therefore advise you to stay hydrated, to avoid sweating, to avoid being out of breath (this means that you are managing your effort well) and, once again, not to hesitate to warn other people at the slightest doubt.
