Getting ready to start!
First day on the trail, Lukas gets a Tikka
Our first suspension bridge – looks sturdy right?
Fast pack participants – water oxen
This little kid cheered us to the end…
Exploring new trails sometimes requires rice field traverses
Terraces on the way to Bahudanda Village
Getting deeper into the Marshyandi River Gorge. Can you spot Dan?
Day 2 – cruising out of Tal Village
Waterfalls abounded, and so did suspension bridges
Another eager spectator
The further north we got, the more Tibetan the villages were – this is entering Chame
Yikes! Near the apple orchards of Braga
Wahoo! Finally some big mountains – Gangapurna peaks out past Ngwal
We buy Raksi (local moonshine) from this lady every year – above Manang – Day 7
This is why we do it.
Sudeep on the final steps the pass!
Wahoo! Thorung La – 5,416m/17,769ft
Flying as much as we can, we run down the other side
Huge hanging glaciers
Most trekkers miss these trails and opt for walking on the jeep track from Muktinath to Kagbeni – not us!
Descending into Kagbeni on the edge of Mustang. A true oasis.
Why walk the jeep road to Jomsom when you can climb another pass and arrive in style?
Lodge room with inspiring wall poster
Sudeep demonstrates how to eat a ‘Tree Tomotoe’ at our favorite lodge in Ghasa – the Eagle’s Nest
Trail obstacles (and friends)
Yak chees break. Beathing during the ~1,600 meter climb up to Ghorapani
Something about the Himalayas make people jump for joy – Poon Hill – Ghorapani
Wahoo! All done just outside Naya Pul
