I have always dreamed of trekking in the Himalayas since my 1st trekking trip in Vietnam, Sapa. Mountains have always been close to my heart like no other,as they never fail to activate my tear ducts whenever I gaze at the magnificence of God’s creation.
The supposed idea of solo traveling was dropped when a suggestion of extending the invitation to the cell group was brought up and the rest is history. A trip planned nearly 6 months back started when we sourced for cheaper air tickets and correspondence began with our travel agent in Nepal.
26 November came when we had to catch an early flight from Singapore to Bangkok, then to Kathmandu. Flying on Thai Airways for the first time, I was pretty pleased with their inflight service.
After 7 hours of flying, we finally arrived in Kathmandu International Airport,greeted by this banner – “Welcome to Nepal”, we knew we were beginning the exciting 15 days of our lives in this land.
Linked up with Gerald who arrived a day earlier than us, the group of 6 finally came together in a foreign land, and we received a traditional welcome by our travel agent, together we were introduced to our dear guide, Krishna. After settling some remaining administrative work, we left for our 3rd flight of the day to Pokhara, where we will be staying for 2 days before starting our trek.
