Trekking in Nepal

March – April 2015

I headed to Nepal to do some of the classic treks in that country. I went independently which meant I did not get too far away from the popular routes. This hiking experience was very different from what I normally do. I went from teahouse to teahouse and never slept in a tent. The tracks were also busy with other foreigners. I was at least my own porter though. I also intentionally stuck to more established routes, so I would not have to deal with difficult logistics or a language barrier. I tried to enjoy the experience for what it was and the culture, as I knew it would not be a remote wilderness experience and could not impose my own hiking preferences on a different part of the world.

I have not had time to do a full writeup of my Nepal trips, but my they included:

Trekking the Annapurna Circuit and Sanctuary/Base Camp
Game driving in Chitwan National Park
Canyoning at Lamo Jharana and the Bhote Kosi
Whitewater rafting on the Bhote Kosi
Trekking Three Passes in the Everest Region, starting from Shivalaya
Survived an earthquake
