the trek

Every time I share a photo from a previous trip it makes me eager for the next. Fortunately I won't have to wait much longer, as I'll soon be heading back to Asia to explore Nepal for the first time. Most of my trips include lots of time in cities, and lots of time in nature, however this trip will be almost entirely nature. Apart from a few days in Kathmandu, the remaining 15 days will be spent trekking the Annapurna region of the legendary Himalayas. There will also be a short detour to visit Tilicho Lake, which, for it's size is considered the highest lake in the world (16,138 feet above sea level). This trek will likely be the most demanding physical experience I've ever encountered, but I'm feeling prepared. I've been exercising regularly and snowboarding at elevation, which should help, however parts of the trek will rise to nearly 18,000 feet, which is far higher than I've ever been, so that will be the real test. But I'm confident my body and mind are strong enough to get me through, and I can't wait to bring home some incredible photos, stories and memories.
