From snowy Himalayan peaks to the steamy Jungle ... Expeditioners arrive in Chitwan for next phase of their expedition

Fee Bellamy receives word from expedition leader Martin that everyone has arrived in Chitwan ready for the next exciting phase of their expedition.

The Lonely Planet guide describes Nepal as ... 

"Wedged between the high wall of the Himalayas and the steamy jungles of the Indian plains, Nepal is a land of snow peaks and Sherpas, yaks and yetis, monasteries and mantras."

The Expeditioners transferred today by road from the Himalayas (Pokhara) to the 'steamy jungle' (Royal Chitwan National Park).

Here are some typical sights and views our 'adventurers' will have experienced on their bus ride today ... 

Lovely views of Annapurna South on trek ... and other news!

Fee Bellamy reports following receipt of a short communique from expedition leader Martin: 

All is well in Nepal! Yesterday they made their lodge by lunchtime and were preparing for an afternoon of culture and dressing up. Monsoon is being kind. Dry in the day and wet at nights. They had lovely views of Annapurna South (7,219m).
