| Why won't my pages print? |
Are you getting a message
"no pages to print"
and a blank page comes your printer?
In most cases, it is due to a bug in versions
of Netscape between 4.0 and 6.01.
It has been fixed in Netscape 6.01
DO THIS:
Internet Explorer:
IE1. Select some text on the page you
wish to print.
IE2. Select 'File' --> 'Print'. |
 |
You will be given three options:
a: 'as laid out on screen'
b: 'only selected frame' [Note:
this is the right-hand information frame]
c: 'all frames individually'
|
| |
Select the printer you want
to print to, then click 'OK'. |
| |
|
|
Netscape:
N1. Select some text on the page you wish to print.
N2. Select 'File' --> 'Print
Frame'.
N3. If you receive the error message, "There are no
pages to print," please repeat steps 1-3.
|
| |
| If the above does not work: |
|
both Internet
Explorer and Netscape:
|
|
Right click on the part of the frame that you
want to print.
Select 'Open Frame in New Window' [or similar
text]
A new browser
window will open with that frame.
Select 'File'
----> Print

Sorry that you have trouble, but we are

|
| Why
are these pages so big? |
When planning
this site we decided to:
1. Have plenty of graphics to illustrate our activities
2. Make all the information available on one frame so that you
can print out all the information about one tour in a single whack!
We offer informed and unusual tours. It is difficult to make that apparent
in a small space.
Finally, we have hope that bandwidth and speed levels will increase throughout
the Web in the immediate future. |
| I
am worried about altitude problems. What can you tell me? |
Altitude
in general is not a problem if you go about things in
the right way. |
| Why
do you go to Nepal in the monsoon? |
Because the
mountain flowers at that time are magnificent. If you choose where and when
to travel it can be fabulous. See something of this splendour in our
Flower Fields of Annapurna page. |
| What
about the monsoon weather? |
The monsoon
weather in Nepal very much depends on altitude and the 'rain shadow'
which the Himalaya creates. In lowland areas and the middle hills it is
hot, with trails made difficult because of washouts and mud. In the mountains
where I take a botanical trek the situation
is quite different. |
|
'Dorje' is a name I see a lot in Tibetan writing. What is a 'dorje' and
what does it mean? |
It
is the symbolic thunderbolt of
enlightenment . |
| Your
tours seem very long and expensive, how come? |
Well, we
craft each tour to give the best possible experience. This means that we
build a lot of rest days into our treks; each tour or trek is accompanied
by someone who has lived in that region or who is in some way an 'expert';
and because of our local knowledge we take time to visit special places
that are of interest. All of this takes time and money. We suggest that
you compare what we offer with what is available elsewhere.
We do recognise that many people do not have the time or money to come with
us and that our trips might be scheduled at a time which does not suit.
For that reason we offer a service for
independent travellers which allows you to make use of our experience. |
| What
is 'teahouse trekking'? |
It is where
you trek and stay in small hosteleries along the trail. For the diffence
between teahouse and 'full trek' check out our trekking
page. |
