One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Walked up to Annapurna Base Camp (Nepal) in two and half days basically in shorts in late monsoon without any rain gear; a hike spiced up with leaches, rain, fog and the cold. Woke up next day before sun to find all the cloud/ fog cleared, amidst the mountain blossoms, surrounded by snow-capped mountains 8000m+ on all sides. Hope to be a writer one day and find words to describe it...

And recent trip, into the thin air, to Imja lake and Kalapatthar was pretty breathtaking (literally)!!!!!!!!!
