Trekking is a lot like life. As you walk through the mist, your heart pounds because you’ve been climbing up a hill with the knowledge that your goal is over these hills; but you’re heart is pounding, the sweat drips down your shirt and you gasp for oxygen just to stumble over a root and then trip on a rock only to sit gasping on a step willing your body on. These hills make us stronger to go over passes and climb further the next time. May this year make you stronger.

Few days in #Pokhara and have a desire for trekking. The #Pokharalakeside is a relaxing day and the trek up to the hills above it can set you off on a 6 day trek or just a two day trek. As you arrive in Dhampus the mountains call to you for an adventure.

Tongba,from our research this hot beer was brought from East Tibet into Nepal probably in the 15th century. Tonba is the name of the wooden utensil that is used to hold the fermented millet when you pour the hot water over it. The fermented millet then turns into a lightly alcoholic drink with a refreshing nutty flavour.

Sometimes the best breaks are those little tea shops with hot ‘Sel Roti’ and cup of sweet tea by the side of the trail with your backpack set to the side.
