I will keep on hiking untill my legs drop off.

Leaving in a week to do the Manaslu Circuit in Nepal. First longer trip in three years. Looking forward to it!

I'm always jealous as hell of your hikes, and your awesome pictures!

And now - going to Nepal? Damn!! Remember - pictures, or it didn't happen.

I am now back in Kathmandu from a fantastic 3-week trek. I'll post some pics when I have selected and edited them a bit back home. Might take a while- I took 600 pictures and my wife around 400.

We're really looking forward to seeing your pics! I haven't been to the Himalayas, but a friend of mine who did the climb with my son and me (see posts above) has climbed to Everest's base camp. I'm as jealous as hell

Maybe I'll get out there sometime.

I've been to Nepal before. I did a 4 week trek through Dolpo in 2008, which is an extremely remote high altitude area. Very different from what I did this year.

Everest bc and Annapurna circuit are the most popular treks. Not entirely without reason but I always try to avoid the crowds when I am hiking. Thats why I chose Manaslu circuit . Its similar to Annapurna but with a only quarter of the tourists.

Very impressive! Beautiful scenery. Thanks!

Was the hiking difficult? What altitudes were you at?

I thought it was a relatively easy and relaxed trek. Easier than what I normally do in the alps. Start of the trek was 700 meter, Larkya La pass at 5160 meter. Dunno what that is in feet.
