Memorable Impressions:
The country exceeded our expectations in every way. It was an epic journey in every sense of the word. Unbeatable landscape, a vibrant culture and beautiful people. Looking back we would not have changed a thing, how amazing is that.
Most people spend several years to complete all the treks that we had packed into our 10-week itinerary. It was an incredible accomplishment to carry all your own gear.

Kathmandu remains one of those places of total chaos, where all your senses are on overload after a few days. It is a colorful place, rich in history, lots of traffic and pollusion.

Our favourite trek was Manaslu Circuit. A gem, still of the main tourist trek, it is unspoilt. One is truely away from civilization, no roads access this part of the world “yet”. The people were always smiling. The accommodation and food, sometimes simple,
but always good. Each trek offered us something different, from changing landscapes and cultures.

Another highlight is the Everest Region, which we gave our full attention for 27 days. With the weather always in our favour
we were spoilt by the never-ending amazing panoramic views of white mountain peaks reaching in excess of 8000m. It also challenged us in respect to the high altidute where we spent many days over 5000m.

We were surprised how 3rd World like the living conditions were in Nepal, expecially in the rural areas, reminding us of central Africa. The distruction left behind from the 2015 earthquake is still visible.
