Muscles burnt, sweat cascaded across our faces. With each laborious breath, we climbed upwards. All conversation within the group disappeared as we concentrated on foot placement as well as the 60 km hike ahead of us. As the saying goes, 'there is no gain without pain'. God, it hurt!
Up and down through the valleys and villages, we trekked. Rewarded for our efforts with spectacular views at every turn. The mountains roared across the horizon and the snow drenched peaks turned red as the sun circled the earth. Each evening after a couple of drinks, we collapsed into our beds with weary eyes and body. Each morning, invigorated, we set off again in awe of the power and beauty of nature.
This 4 day adventure trek from Shivapuri through Nagarkot & Chisapani to the Medieval township of Bhaktapur was truly amazing. It was a pleasure to share our experience with a great crew. Thanks to Lisa, Steve, Lauren, Austin, Erin, Cassie, Marion and Niall. A big word up to our fabulous guides and porters for their expert assistance. Extra special mention to our back stop, Jordie for keeping an eye on Brad's shoe laces.
