| She said yes! So, for the October Moon Festival holidays, it was either Mongolia or Nepal. As cool as it is to send postcards from Ulaanbaatar, the Himalayas won the ticket. That, and proposing with a proper backdrop seemed a much better opportunity. So, packed with clothes, camera and ring we went. It took a bit of research but we settled on trekking in the Annapurna region. Given that there will probably be loads of people walking around the mountains, and hearing that most treks dump their profits into their Kathmandu-based trekking companies, we tracked down an organisation that leaves all the money right in the villages you stay in, the Himanchal Education Foundation. Run by Chitra Pun, who hooked us up with our legend guide Roman and strong man Udo. Every cent that wasn't used on us eating Dhalbat went directly back into schools, clinics and village funding. We are so awesome innit. Thanks to everyone who helped and hosted us along the way! Enjoy! |
