Technology! It’s amazing how much things have changed. Word of mouth is now driven by technology. Information on roads less travelled are available at your fingertips. I’ll give the example of Kerung, our border crossing location from Tibet into Nepal. Once you see the picture of Kerung, you’ll understand why I was looking for transportation. The place looks desolate.
The website given to me showed there was a daily 35 seater bus which ran twice a day from Kerung to Kathmandu. One in the early afternoon and one at 3AM. As we are crossing around 9AM, the preference is to take the day bus. Finding a spot on the fly for 1 traveler is a lot easier than a spot for 5… So booking seems to be a good idea. The website however, would not let me book the day bus. I left a message on the website and within 2 hours I received a whatsapp asking me further information. This year of travel will require us to stay connected not just for the blog but for bookings regardless of the location.
I have also added the route we will be traveling in Tibet starting August 1st. The Swiss national day…
