Hello all,
We have emerged from our trek and can once again blog!
We had a great time during our trek through the mountains. With our hired “expert”, Lok Raj, we got to see some pretty amazing things and I (RobO) got to give him my ridiculously large backpack to carry the whole way. Too bad we can’t hire him for the rest of our trip.
Highlights include: bamboo forests, seeing the mountain range as the sun rose, and spectacular views from each guest house. As for the food, it was pretty great. Dal baht is quite good after all, especially after a long day of climbing stone steps. I know what you’re thinking… Weren’t we supposed to be gone for 9 days? Well, unfortunately we had to cut the trek a bit short to sort out Indian visa issues which have now been resolved. We’re looking forward to the rest of our trip which will include the bathing of elephants and paragliding! For now enjoy the pics we were fortunate to capture.
P.S. Terry WTF if you’re reading this, I’m happy to report that marathon training is back on due to 5 days of alternating stairs and eccentric squats, with a 35 lb pack on! -DawnO
