My first step at Bhaktpur...
which is a town in Nepal straight from the pages of history. Everything about it is reflective of Medieval times (look at the ground I am standing on). More pics coming shortly! Keep checking!

Subhash Ghai must be a happy man...
Doesn't this give DDLJ (still running) in Maratha Mandir in Mumbai a stiff competition?

MOUNT EVEREST FLIGHT CONTINUES...
...That's Gauri Shankar in the foreground and Mt. Everest in the background!
It's 8 o clock by the studio clock...
...and I stole some moments from my show and thought to post this one! I am uploading a crap load pf pictures on the blog and shall do so today too...but I just forgot to share something with you.
I had to catch a flight to London to attend one my best friends' (read my longest crush in school) wedding this year in May but I was busy giving my beloved listeners a whopper of one lakh four thousand rupees. So I didn't get any chutti. I also made my plans of knocking my best friend's door in Canada in April but I ended up knocking my listeners' doors when I ushered your favorite Delhi Daredevils in your humble abodes during IPL!
So one fine day as I was getting exasperated in the studios and talking about Nepal and its bounties that it occured to me- "if not London and Canada, then maybe Kathmandua?" I asked my boss for leave and as expected, was denied. I created the drama then. I asked my listeners to back me up and get me a chutti. My rockstar listeners came for my rescue. A host of crazy bahanas, countless suggestions and tricks to take chutti and much more. Some of them (thanks Kavita ji) even impersonated as my mom and talked to my boss asking for leave, full parent-teacher meeting style! And lo! It worked. My boss gave in. Though it wasn't a chutti and I worked my arse off in Nepal (from 6 am to 1 am) but the up side was the royal treatment I got, the best VIP suites in 5 star hotels, the best cuisines and a chauffer driven car at my beck and call.
So before I knew I was in the enchanting land of the Himalyas! Breathtakingly beautiful man!! Once again let me don the Raju guide hat-
Places you need to check out-
1. Kathmandu- a. Buddhist Temple also called the monkey temple.
b. Darbar Square. Hippy culture rocks!
c. The Royal Palace.
d. Cable Car
e. Casino- Feel like Amitabh and Dev Anand- the great gamblers.
f. Mt. Everest flight from Kathmandu airport.
g. Thamel Market- the tourist market that reminds you of GK 2 or
our very own Sarojini Market!
2. Gokarna- a. Le Meridian is the place to be. It houses a world inside. Sprawls over 800 acres of land. You would need days to explore the entire property. It has 250 species of birds. So all your bird watchers, get your binoculars handy! Enjoy golf, spa, jacuzzi and some exotic healing therapies here!
3. Chitwan- Jungle Safari
4. The last resort- Bungee, Canyoning, Swing, Trekking. You name it, they have it! (I shall post my bungee and swing videos soon, so watch out!)
So that's that. Keep checking this blog coz there are pictures galore to be uploaded!
P.S- Don't carry 500 and 1000 rupees. It won't work!

Darbar Square 2
The place is also called Freaky Street or the Hippi Market. You would find a lot of hippies here with some real hep accessories! There are some 17 or 18 temples here and each one is a masterpiece. You also have one of the highest temples here that opens (once a year) only during Navratras!
Darbar Sqaure, Khatmandu
This is the same place where Hare Rama Hare Krishna was shot. Dev Anand, Mumtaz and Zeenat Aman walked the place way back in sixties. Fast forward to 2008, RJ Lokesh walks and graces the same place. Ahem!

More Pics...
Later!
Promise!
For the time being, people who are going to Nepal (especially the winners on my show), few things to keep in mind-
1. No need for a visa.
2. Carry your Passport or Voter's ID and lo! you are in Nepal.
3. No 500 rupee or 1000 rupee note else you might end up begging in Nepal streets (just like me :))
4. It's a crime to miss Bungee Jump, Swing and all other adventure sports in Nepal. So do that. It's at the Last Resort.
5. Mt. Everest flight might cost you a bomb, but it's worth every penny.
6. Le Meridian Resort at Gokarna is a world in itself. Explore it! Golf course rocks! So does their new therapy- The planetary singing bowls therapy! Try that out!
7. Shop at Darbar Square or Thamel.
8. Try Cable Car.
9. More adventure sports at Pokharan.
10. Jungle Safari at Chitwan.
So that's that!
Cheers
Lokesh
