On our way back home
The adventure has come to an end; we are leaving Kathmandu in a few hours. We will stopover for the night in Bangkok – that’s just the way the flights work. From there we will then fly to SFO via…
Greetings from Kathmandu.
We have been relaxing for the last 2 days in the ‘Yak and Yeti’ hotel in Kathmandu, which has been very nice. This morning the last members and guides of Stephen’s Expedition Team arrived here as well. Our bags… well… they…

Day 6: correction
Hey All, Not too sure whether I’ll get this post through, internet is very unreliable here in the mountains! That Ice Lake is at 4460m, not 4160; so we went up 1100m and back down again today.. very hard work.…

Day 4 of Circuit Trek.
I have just finished my 4th day of hiking and all is going well! Altitude is not a factor yet as I am only at about 2650m. The weather has been good and the tea-houses comfortable. This is the first…
