The end of the road

Just thought I'd let you all know that we have left the Pyramid lab last weekend, and most of us are on our way back home. Since our departure from the lab coincided with the Nepali New Year (year 2065!!!), the staff threw us a big party and got everyone to dance Nepali style (which resulted in some very embarrassing photos and videos taken).



A small group of us (Jim, Bruce, Joe, and I) left the lab early and decided to go on a wee trekking expedition over 2 +5200m passes (Ranjo and Cho la). Which resulted in 17 hours of trekking and over 1800m of climbing in just over 2 days. Needless to say, the crew was very tired after that effort.



By now, pretty much everyone would be on a plane (or in a extended transit like me) making their way back home; feeling very tired from all the intense shopping done in Kathmandu over the past 2 days.



I hope you all have enjoyed reading this blog.



THE END

“A wee trekking expedition”,

I wouldn’t call 2 days of trekking and climbing minuscule.

Must have been quite an adventure, I know Nepal has some of the best mountainous regions in the world.

The Nepali dancing must have been quite an experience as well, you should definitely post those pictures I would love to see them i am absolutely fascinated with nepali culture!
