Arrive mid-day on 17th in Delhi and plan to fly out of Kathmandu eve of 30th Oct.
Varanasi and Agra are vague plans as is some trekking in Nepal (nothing with crampons or such paraperanalia though)
All tips of places and people to see, things to do, things not to do... most gratefully received. Beer, wine, tea... happily given in exchange. Please no horror stories about Nepal though regarding terroriests and Maoists, I am regularly checking out http://www.fco.gov.uk/en/travelling-and-living-overseas/travel-advice-by-country/asia-oceania/nepal?ta=safetySecurity&pg=2 (thanks Tim) and will heed its advice.
Hey, anyone want to hook up on way, just say!
