On October 14th I traveled to Pokhara to join a trekking group through 3 Sisters Trekking. They had a 5-day trek to Ghorepani/Poonhill starting Oct 16th so I decided to join as hiking in the Himalayas was a bucket list item.

I joined 4 other women – an other American who is currently living in Nepal, a French woman currently living in Dublin, a German woman currently living in the the UK, and a Brazilian woman currently living in the UK. We were led by a Nepali female guide and 5 female assistants. Our group was diverse, interesting, smart, and fun! I really enjoyed my time with these women.

Here’s a photo summary of my trek:

Day 1: Pokhara – Nayapul – Hille

 

We had over an hour and a half long drive to our trail head in Nayapul which was made a little longer with a few traffic jams along the way!

 

Views from the trail.

 

 

We had the occasional traffic jam on the trail, too!

 

Each day we would trek to a guest house where we would have an afternoon tea/coffee and snack and spend the rest of the evening. So we would have dinner, sleep, and breakfast at whatever guest house we were at. This was our guest house on night one in Hille.

Day 2: Hille-Ghorepani

Day 3: Ghorepani- Poon Hill – Tadapani

Day 4 and 5 will be covered in the next post. Having a hard time adding any more pictures!

 

 

Greetings from Pokhara. It’s been a while since my last post so it’s about time I catch up on my blog! Since my last post I’ve been on a 5-day trek in the Himalayas, spent a couple of days relaxing in Pokhara with new friends, went on a 4-day jungle safari in Chitwan National Park, and most recently finished a 3-day retreat with a focus on meditation, yoga, and introduction to Buddhism. It’s been a busy couple of weeks so I am taking the next couple of days to catch up on sleep, update my blog, and just relax in Pokhara before moving on to Kathmandu at the end of the week. I plan on blogging about each adventure so more to come in the next couple of days!

 

Namaste!

Hard to believe I am 12 days in. My appologies for the delay in a post. The internet is weak here at the farm making it difficult to get online. There have been a handful of power outages (2 alone in just trying to get this posted!) and the internet is often off. When it is on there usually isn’t enough bandwidth to do more then send a message through WhatApps or post a picture to Instagram. I am not sure how much I will be able to post during my stay at Her Farm but stay tuned! More posts to come when internet connection is better!
