Bon Voyage and safe trekking Sjakihata. I love to backpack in wilderness areas, and have spent hundreds of days and nights deep in it in the Sierra Nevada, California. But that ain't Nepal!! I envy you--it sounds like one helluv'an adventure. Looking forward to reading about it later.

But I can still remember how it is (imagine that, as ancient as I am ). Remember too that many adventures can be had right where you are--if you're observant enough to recognize them and bold enough to seize the day. Done anything wild and crazy lately? Maybe it's time .
