Oops Damm I think I'm too late but here is the info that u asked for:

The wisest men follow their own direction. says:
so tell me which areas are best avoided by a guy who wants to go trekking in nepal... i.e which are most dangerous... have a friend from denmark going there in january

Tribhuz says:
none

Tribhuz says:
no foreigner has ever been harmed from the first day the conflict began

Tribhuz says:
all touristy areas are safe

Tribhuz says:
at most, if your friend does encounter maoists, at most they may tell him/her what the revolution is about so that the their cause id advertized abroad

The wisest men follow their own direction. says:
ok thanks for that info bro... will forward it to him.. if u hear about any areas whcih are dangerous lemme know so i can tell him

Tribhuz says:
sure... just tell him NOT to listen to US State Department travel advisory

The wisest men follow their own direction. says:
HAHA !

The wisest men follow their own direction. says:
that's clever

Tribhuz says:
but having said that Americans are not really popular among the maoists. But again, last week I met bunch of yankees at a bar called Funky Buddha, who had just completed two weeks Everest Base Camp trek.

Tribhuz says:
They reported no problems whatsoever

Tribhuz says:
so if it's safe for yankees, its paradise for danes (who are among the biggest international aid adency in Nepal)

The wisest men follow their own direction. says:
Well thats great, so he should'nt have any problem at all. Thanks man... just forwarding him this message now.

HAVE A GREAT TRIP !!!

Bon Voyage and safe trekking Sjakihata. I love to backpack in wilderness areas, and have spent hundreds of days and nights deep in it in the Sierra Nevada, California. But that ain't Nepal!! I envy you--it sounds like one helluv'an adventure. Looking forward to reading about it later.

All in good time m8 ... all in good time. You're still a young lad, and have plenty of adventures ahead of you, I'm sure. There will come a time when being able to sit on a comfy couch with a mug of the best and the lass of your dreams smiling next to you will be all the adventure you could want or need. But I can still remember how it is (imagine that, as ancient as I am

). Remember too that many adventures can be had right where you are--if you're observant enough to recognize them and bold enough to seize the day. Done anything wild and crazy lately? Maybe it's time
