Follow a stunning journey across the world’s highest mountain range with MapVivo traveler Tabatha Smith.
With breathtaking scenery and some fascinating tales of adventure this MapVivo journey is the ideal armchair adventure and well worth following:
From the trip:
Gosain Kunda was not to be the highest point of our trek – in order to start the descent back to Kathmandu, we first had to make it over Laurebina Pass, a whopping 3,610 metres. Mistakenly I thought that getting over the pass would be the most challenging part of day. The excitement of having made it so far and so high certainly did put a spring in my step for the first part of the day.
But the spring soon faded on the way down due to the steep drop and aching knees. The descent back into the low(er) lands was grueling, though refreshing at the same time. It was nice to get back down where the landscape of barren boulders has transformed into lush forests, but also nice to get back down to where I could breath!
