Trekking in Nepal

We survived trekking (it wasn’t too bad and not as hard as Peru)…the pace was slower and we probably covered less distance. We saw some beautiful scenery, including Everest, and got a good taste of what smaller villages in Nepal are like. We took a flight to Lukla, trekked as far as Khumjung and then started to make our way back. As expected, there were some very cold nights and I had to sleep in 4 layers including my jacket sometimes. Heat or lack of is a big issue in these villages. We had 2 showers the entire week...one was freezing within a minute and the second one actually stayed hot the whole time! We stayed in the Radisson after the hike and it felt like the fanciest place around, hahaha. 

I'll post some more pics later since the internet is slow...here's the first part of the trek:

Airport isn't open yet so everyone lines up...

Flight to Lukla...still smiling because I didn't know this would be the dodgiest flight I've ever taken! Even Mike agreed! We bounced out of our seats at one point, the girl in front of me shed some tears and there were mountains on both sides so it was difficult to imagine how the pilot would land the plane. Lukla airport has one of the shortest runways in the world.

After surviving the dodgy flight, we had breakfast (eating would become a predominant part of the trek, hahaha) and are about to set off on the hike.

We let this little boy grab our camera after and started taking lots of pictures, hahaha.

Not the real Starbucks but kinda cool!

First night...it's already getting cold but at least we can both fit on this bed!

Banker, the village we stayed in for a night.

Lots of these hanging bridges to cross

King of the world!

Porters carry so much

Second night...looks like we have to sleep separately since this bed is super small.

Highest dental clinic in the world (in Namche)

View of Namche

Okay, I can't take the photo credit for that view...this is what I was doing while Mike was taking in the view.

Always got to have my hand sanitizer and toilet roll pack with me!

Think these are dzokios (yak/cow cross).
