But a long-anticipated trek in the [...] Related posts:Friday Flashback – Trek Preparations In Pokhara

Making it work, against all the odds
Blog: Kiva Stories from the Field - 5 June 2009
Walking down Ring Road on Monday (the main road that encompasses the cities of Kathmandu and Patan) it felt as though there had been a mass evacuation and I was the only one who didn’t receive the memo. On a road that is usually so congested with traffic that I allow myself five minutes extra [...]
