Well, as you read this I will be somewhere in the Himalaya! I will probably be surveying an awesome mountain vista whilst wondering what possessed me to think 20days was a good idea! (Well, actually that might have been Sharon's idea - but I went with it!)
We are trekking the Manaslu Circuit and also visiting the Tsum valley, where there are some local villages which we hope to visit - perhaps a home stay. I have heard rumours of snow on the mountain pass...and have got myself a new pair of gloves today just in case!)
I am obviously taking a few supplies with me and for those interested these include coffee, flapjack and Horlicks! (Hot chocolate was a little difficult to find!) The trek starts off in the TsumValley and then heads ever upwards - I think at the highest point we are nicely over 5000m - so I am hoping that we are both able to deal with the altitude ok and enjoy views!
I am not sure that there is much more to say at this stage... but I'm excited and maybe a little apprehensive.. but will let you all know how it goes when I get back. I might even have a photo or two to post!!

Hi Rhodes. Your Pix look lovely. Some amazing sights and climbing up all those steps with your backpack - respect! I'm all out with where you are. I was thinking that you were at the end of your trekking not beginning! Look forward to hearing about them. Much love and blessings. Ivetxxx
ReplyDeleteHave a great time Rhoda... will be thinking of you at church this morn :-D your pictures and updates so far have been great.
ReplyDeleteHorlicks is a great plan as your boiled water will not be quite as hot... Coffee just would not work!
Much love and prayers for a safe trek

Hi Rhoda, So what has your favourite place been that you have visited? I love your pictures from the plane, I would like to go above the clouds!
ReplyDeleteI hope you are having fun (although I am missing you at church!)
Lots of Love
