Hi everyone, I’m Loulou, a French expat who’s been living in Southeast Asia for about fifteen years, currently in Phnom Penh, Cambodia. A passionate walker at heart, I’ve trekked in Nepal (Thorung La, Mardi Himal), India, Vietnam, and I’m still planning new hikes (Char Dham, Langtang, Annapurna). I’ve just published my first travel journal, recounting three months of walking and encounters across India. A portion of the sales goes to an educational center I support in Kep, for children whose parents work in the salt marshes. I’m also working on a second book about Nepal with a musician friend, focusing on the Mardi Himal trek—two independent perspectives on the same journey. Happy to swap stories with you about the Himalayas, India, Southeast Asia, or just the urge to hit the road and walk far from home. Safe travels, Loulou

Hello, We’d like to go on a 3- to 4-month bike trip starting in December, crossing from Assam (northeast India) to New Delhi via Nepal. Are there routes with light traffic along the Brahmaputra and through Nepal? We’re also looking for any info on accommodations, wild camping, local interactions, etc. Thanks, Michel

Hi, Since I can't take on long treks, I'd love to know if there are any nice hikes around Pokhara—or maybe in another region of Nepal. Day hikes or two-day trips would be perfect. Thanks in advance for your tips!
