We posted recently about the Manaslu trekking circuit becoming a tea-house trek. Almost! There is tea-house accommodation all the way from Arughat now.

The story of a Great Himalaya Trail section: It tells of flourishing wildlife, a villager living under a spell cast upon him, wonky, trembling bridges, a lama who is scared of bears and another lama who disperses clouds with short bursts of breath (for a fee).

Edurne Pasaban has just climbed all 14 8000m peaks and is the second woman in the world to do so. There has been just a little controversy, given that the first woman to do, Oh Eun-sun of South Korea, so far has not produced photographic evidence of herself on the summit of Kanchenjunga. Still I prefer Kurt Diemberger’s approach to climbing, for the aesthetic pleasure of it rather than for competition or records, which he called “a disease of our times”. Still, records aside, Pasaban shared, “the best thing Nepal has is their people and then mountains and I love both.” And to have climbed [...]
