Hi,I am planning on going to Nepal in October -November to go trekking but while Im there I would like to go snowkiting,I have all my own gear except for a snowboard,there is not much information on the net,has anyone been snowkiting in Nepal?
If yes ,was it any good?
Is the wind strong enought to snowkite?
What size kites would I need?
Anyone with any information would be very helpful
Thanks Will
That's a pretty out there idea mate!
I've kited in technical mountain terrain in a fair few places around the world and have a list of more spots I'd like to explore with a kite and my backcountry gear as long as my arm but I have to say that Nepal is not one of them! About the closest I spot I have been eyeballing is far western Mongolia.
Don't let me stop you from trying though, (I haven't actually been to Nepal or anything). Maybe there is a nice plateau or broad ridge with forgiving snow and winds, low objective danger and helpful locals somewhere within a day's climb of the trekking routes?
I'd stick to the trekking, but that's just me, maybe I'm getting too old..
thanks for the reply and advice,I have never been snowkiting but would love to try it some day,I think Nepal maybe to mountainous,too steep a slopes and are not sure how much snow there is at that time of year
