Last Thoughts on Nepal

Tuesday, 11 May 2010

Just to sum up my Himalayan trekking experience…

Highlights: the challenge of the ups in thin air, the incredible views, my meditation by the temple in Tangboche, doing Yoga at high elevations, cappuccinos and apple strudel in Namche Bazar.

Things I won’t miss: the smell of kerosene and dung, thin guest house walls, putting on my stinky and crusty clothes in the freezing morning, trying to get a good nights sleep at 15,000 ft, loads of litter in the beautiful mountains, nasty toilets.

Things I am thankful for:  my health, good technical equipment, and my patient, load-bearing, ever-accommodating, non-snoring travel companion...Reuben.  smile
