8-day trek in the Himalayas

There were six of us: Elisa (from Italy), Ashton (from Fort Collins), Grady (from Nepal), Krishna (the guide), Rameesh (the porter), and me.

For those of you know the area, we trekked in the Lang Tang region, from Dunche, up to Gosaikunda, then back to Kathmandu.

For those of you who don’t know the area, we walked A LOT, a long way, up and down steep surfaces, through a variety of terrain. Though this trek would be considered an easy one, it was plenty challenging for me!

The scenery was gorgeous throughout. The particular point of interest was a group of five pristine lakes near the top of our ascent. Our highest elevation was over 15,000 feet.
