Happy Dashain!

Namaste. Happy Dashain! We are enjoying the festival season in Kathmandu and preparing for our trek in the Himalayas. On Monday, we will spend the day taking multiple buses for 8 hours or more to get to the start of the Annapurna Circuit Trek. We will spend one night in Besisahar and then head out on Tuesday morning for 18-20 days of trekking from village to village in the mountains. We are extremely excited to be living simply for 3 weeks and surrounding ourselves with the mountains and wilderness after being in busy Kathmandu for weeks. If you google "Annapurna Circuit Trek," you can check out the route that we will be following and when we return to Kathmandu, we will be sure to post our photos and thoughts to share with you all. We will be thinking of you when we are saluting the Himalayas from the Thorung La pass at 5400 meters!!! We plan to be back around November 9th. Until then Love from Rachel & Sudhir

have fun and stay warm ( I am assuming it might be chilly) wish we were there watching you go cause I might never get up to those crazy heights and all that altitude is so bad for my complexion and my gym membership doesnt cover really scary treks but you know ballys they are so picky.

Well it's 10:55 AM Thursday November 8th here in Massachusetts and I just thought of you guys - so I logged on here to let you know that.

I bet you're just getting home right about now aren't you? :)

Hope you enjoyed your trek!
