They say that Knowledge is Power. It’s also Empowering.

We checked out and hit the road early. It was a long day of riding as we traced our tracks backwards, enjoying the spectacular views from a slightly different perspective. The weather was fabulous, blue skies with temperatures in the mid 30’s upon departure. Dressed...

I tried to die yesterday. More on that later. After pushing off from Kagbeni, we soon came to a gate crossing to the Upper Mustang Valley. To proceed past this point was no small undertaking. It required lots of pre-planning, permits, Visas, and the accompaniment of a...

After a good night’s sleep, we grabbed breakfast and had an interesting and often heated conversation with the proprietor, Romi. He’d been running the Inn founded by his father nearly 80 years ago with the help a staff that included his son. He figured us as Americans...

First full day in Nepal. My body and mind were a wreck after sitting in airplanes for so long with pretty much no sleep. Got “lucky” enough to be seated next to a screaming toddler on my 14-hour flight from Miami to Doha, Qatar and again on the 4 hour leg from Doha to...
