My first trek in the Himalayas was one of the most challenging, transformative, and rewarding experiences of my life. It included my first time seeing snow, a moonlit hike to a 4,200 m (14,000') peak culminating in a simultaneous sunrise and moonset over the mountains, being the coldest I've ever been, and walking 83 kilometers (52 miles) over 8 days. All in the depth of winter. In the Himalayas. In Nepal. It is kind of surreal to write about it - all the more reason why I am so excited to bring you along with me by sharing the adventure here! Pack a LOT of warm layers, and let's go!!
