The Most F~@king Amazing and Scariest 3 Days of Our Lives: What We Learned Trekking in Lower Mustang, Nepal

​Let’s start by saying, our experience in Nepal was possibly the most rewarding vacation we will ever have. It changed our lives, and we would not trade it for the World. The combination of extreme beauty and cultural authenticity that we witnessed here was otherworldly, but the experience was also fraught with peril, some inherent to the journey and others a product of poor decision making.

The pinnacle of the experience is presented here. The three most important days of our lives to this point included:
​

1. A “jeep” trip on one of the most dangerous roads in the World
2. An encounter with a beautiful and deadly King Cobra
3. A religious pilgrimage site where our sins were eternally washed away in 33-degree water
4. A trek to the highest point we have been yet
5. The realization that our primary goal for this visit was not going to happen
6. Side treks to villages that continued to live like it was the 1400s
7. Hurricane force winds on a “repaired” hanging bridge
8. Buddhist prayer training with novices
9. And, scaling across cliff immediately after a landslide had all but removed the trail
