What's possible in Nepal / N India / Kashmir in April?
I'll be arriving in Nepal from Bangkok on a Transalp at the start of April, and I'm trying to figure out the best way to spend 4-5 weeks
I'm planning to do Kathmandu - Pokhara - Butwal - Mahendranagar in Nepal. Is it worth heading east from Kathmandu (towards Everest) at all, or is that a non-starter?
It sounds like the road from Manali to Leh is a non-starter until the middle of June, so I'm thinking of Chandigarh - Shimla - Rampur - Spiti Valley - Manali - Jammu - Srinagar. I'd then have to double back to Jammu in order to get to Atari for the crossing to Pakistan.
Is this doable? And is this the most interesting route? Finally, am I likely to have any issues with road closures on the KKH in mid-May?
Cheers!
