The hiking we've done in Nepal has been some of the best ever. And though we put in more than 20 days and close to 150 miles, Liz wants to come back and do the full Annapurna Circuit (20+ days). As for this trip though, our Nepali visas are up, our legs are beat, and it's time to head south.
Since we're heading into the heat of India next, we won't have much use for all these winter clothes, and with our packs heavy enough, we needed to lighten our load. Kathmandu has a great organization, KEEP, that runs a Porter's Clothing Bank. Since many porters don't have, or can't afford, sufficient winter clothes, this organization provides the opportunity for tourists like us, to donate excess winter clothing to be passed along to those porters who need it. We were only too happy to oblige,
KEEP's organizers asked us to encourage others visiting Nepal to do the same, so here goes. Below is their contact info online and in Kathmandu. They're within easy walking distance of Thamel. Stop by if you're passing through.
