Nepal II: Trekking in the Himalayas - Poon Hill & Mardi Himal

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!!
