...to Nepal in April.
Needless to say, we're frickin' excited to be backpacking around Nepal with some friends for a week. We're going through an organization called Three Sisters Adventures. The organization's goal is to improve the lives of disadvantaged women in Nepal by training them to lead treks.
A group of 5-7 of us will be taking the Ghorepani-Ghandruk Loop... "Sunrise at Poon Hill." The website describes this trek as: A perfect loop (5 days) for a short trip. The beginning of the ABC Trek, this trek ascends and descends through picturesque villages, offering great views of the Annapurnas from the famous Poon Hill. Sunrise is magical as you watch the sun dance on the peaks of Annapurna 1, Annapurna south, Annapurna 3, and Machhapuchhare. The terraced village of Ghandruk, with excellent mountain views, is a major settlement of the Gurung people, an ethnic group of Nepal. Along the way you pass through rhododendron forests, impressive river gorges and terraced fields. The maximum altitude reached is 3,200m at Poon Hill.
