En plus il avait sur lui l’outil pour pouvoir démonter notre laptop, ce qu’on recherche depuis quelques mois!
Mieux vaut tard que jamais, voici enfin la vidéo de notre trip au Népal. Notre recherche du sentier parfait nous a amener dans ces 2 endroits. La première partie au nord de Kathmandu, la partie en montagne dans la région de l’Annapurna.
Obsolete – The quest of the holy trail – Nepal from Obsolete on Vimeo.
Pour trouver le meilleur sentier, on a décidé de partir au sud, mais vraiment tout au sud. En prenant les légendaires routes 40 en Argentine et route 7 au Chili, on décide de partir à Ushuaïa.
La route 40
On grimpe, guidé par des chevaux pour arriver au pied de 5 glaciers, puis on retourne sur un sentier très technique. Première sortie enduro au Chili!
Nos guides pour la journée
La quête du sentier parfait repart de plus belle ! On part à la conquête du Chili. Grossièrement nous allons descendre tout au sud, vers Ushuaïa, si on a le temps ! Le pays semble bien long…
A travers le Chili et l’Argentine, on va parcourir la Patagonie. Notre programme n’est pas tout à fait défini car nous devons rencontrer le staff de http://www.montenbaikenduro.com qui vont nous aider pour planifier notre trip.
We stayed nearly 10 days in Chiang Mai, it was a mix of great riding and a quit place to enjoy Thailand. Not too crowded, not so many tourist and a lots of trails !
For our last day riding, we went before for lunch to enjoy one of the best thing of Thailand, the food !
As soon as we landed, we knew that we were far from Nepal. The brand new airport and the impressive amount of tourist was a big change. Also, the capital, even with a traditional and religious presence, modernity was everywhere. New buildings, new cars, luxury, … A sort of European feeling… If temple and pictures of the king were not in every corner. The king is in every houses, restaurants, on buildings and nobody is allowed to speak about it. If you walk on a bank note, that has the picture of the king, you could go to jail! It’s also better to write this outside (we are in Tasmania) of Thailand because Internet is under inspection by the government.
Anyway, the presence of all those temple makes Bangkok very interesting culturally. But for us, as mountain bikers, it’s too crowded, too many cars, pollution, …
We did some cultural visit and try all food that were possible and took the train for a more quiet place! We enjoyed Bangkok but we were also happy to leave.
If you like big town, shopping, temple and the king, stay a few days in Bangkok!
With a bit of delay, we publish finally our first shot in Thaïland. We headed to Chang Mai with the train and ride the Bambou Trail. Big surprise, a superb trail build for MTB. Have a look on the gallery, more is to come the following days.
We are actually in Tasmania, and with a surprise, it’s difficult to find Wireless Internet. It was very easy in Nepal and Thaïland but Australia, very difficult.
Fixing bike in the Epic Mountain Bike shop in Kathmandu. Thanks for the help and for the warm welcome!
Nepal was amazing, great moment ! Good bye and see you soon!
Namaste!
And now Sa-wat-dee kraup Thailand!
Last days in Nepal, we had still the opportunity to go riding with local people nearly everyday. Nepal warm welcoming at his maximum.
On a few pictures, you can see a ritual to bless the car. A sacrifice to peace the god by giving them blood. So they will not look for more blood from the car passenger. In this case, the sacrifice was replace by a modified vegetable. It’s why you can see legs.
