Nepal

When we left Kathmandu to trek in the Annapurna Himalayan Range, we left a good deal of our belongings behind in a locked backpack at our Thamel guesthouse. Slimming down our backpacks for the coming month was...

The city of Kathmandu is endless. Even Thamel, stacked upon itself, seems endless when you're walking the maze of streets. It's all quite overwhelming for a first-time arrival and finding a good place to eat...

Our time in Pokhara was mostly spent in our hotel room due to a bad case of giardia after our first trek in Nepal. We couldn't have asked for a better room to be sick in as we laid comfortable in our beds with...

Mark and I spent a total of 20 days at Elbrus Home in Kathmandu. It was our first point of arrival in Nepal where we left many of our belongings to go trekking. A month later we returned to pick up our things...

The chaos of Kathmandu had exhausted us by the end of our second long stay in the city, but it provided some nice photos when we put in the effort to explore the madness. Here's a handful of snaps split...

Despite being pretty worn out by our time on the Annapurna Circuit, we couldn't leave Nepal without more up-close views of the amazing Himalayan peaks. So after some rest in Pokhara we found ourselves back on...

1. TREKKING THE ANNAPURNA CIRCUIT IS WORTH IT — Although the new road may have ruined the Annapurna Circuit for many purists, the trek is still an awesome experience with the same great views and variety it...

Our trek on the Annapurna Circuit continued (see Part 1 here) to the village of Manang and then up over Thurong La to Muktinath. Trekking in the Nepal's beautiful Himalaya proved to be the most challenging but...

Twenty days spent among some of the world's tallest peaks; 113 miles trekked in rice terraces, alpine forests and desert terrain; 17,769 feet of altitude reached on a snow-covered mountain pass; 45 cups of...
