Traffic Jam, Monsoon....3 miles from Tibet!

Well, after our departure from Kathmandu we left the Kathmandu Valley and dropped into another river valley on our way to Beseshar to start our trek. We hit a massive landslide stretching around 40km in total. We were in an ideal location and spent two days at a rafting resort and stayed in beautiful bungalows on a raging monsoon river. After, two days it opened and we had an amazing drive through canyons and river valleys to begin our trek at 2,400 ft. We started in the lowlands and rice fields which was incredibly humid and wet with monsoon rain. After, trekking through the lowlands we ran into some massive river gorges and landslide areas. We finally hiked out of the river gorge that we hiked in for 7 days and are now in the highlands viewing some of the biggest mountains in the world(Annapurnas). We are now at 11,600 ft and enjoying a rest day that consisted of a glacial lake swim, coffee, curry, workouts, and apple pie. Tomorrow we are off for Thorung La Pass which will take us two days to reach. We will start early at High Camp and cross the 18,000 foot pass and then drop 5,000 ft into the 2nd largest river gorge in the world. Thanks for following and we will post photos and blog updates from the other side of the pass. Cheers from the other side of the world!
