Migrating to a new server

Hi all,

The whole of lonelyplanet.com, including Thorn Tree, is changing hosting providers in the following days. While this change takes place, Thorn Tree and the Lonely Planet website will be unavailable for a short period of time. We will communicate the exact time nearer the date. This migration will hopefully be a matter of hours but we have a lot of Thorntree content to move! We will do everything we can to cause minimal disruption to users. You will be able to chart the progress of the work while the site is down through our Twitter account.

Thanks,

Zabba

Do I need a guide for poon hill trek?

Are the routes and paths of the poon hill trek pretty easy to follow or would hiring a guide be preferable?

Chomolhari Trek Possible in August?

Is the Chomolhari trek possible in August? I realize that there are problems with roads then, lots of rain, and obscured vistas; however, many years ago, I hiked the Annapurna circuit during th monsoon, and we had the whole thing to ourselves, and it was definitely worth it. What do people think about Bhutan?

Also are there any areas further north, closer to Tibet that might be drier that time of year, and worth visiting? Also, any areas in more remote areas that see fewer tourists that might be interesting for trekking or a cultural experience?

Thanks!

Travel Blog Recommodations for Nepal

Hello,

Can anyone recommend some great nepal blogs that are about a year old? I'd love to find one that would be from someone of similar age (late 20s/30s) and mindframe (Culture & Adventure)

I'm thinking about heading in October but want to read some first hand experiences as I've never been and Kathmandu sounds a little too crazy for me!

Thinking 2 nights in Kathmandu, 2 in Pokhara and a 3 night hike and have time for a third stop (Have 9 nights in total) but not sure where! Not interested in visiting Chitwan so any recommendations close to either Pokhara/Kathmandu would be appreciated!

Thanks!
