September 28, 2015 Today’s trek was short enough that the team planned a hot lunch at their destination, Saldang. Adam and the Team are staying on the grounds of Dhandup Lama where they are watching in awe as the season’s barley is being threshed by teams of singing, dancing, smiling workers. Since everyone works until […]
September 27, 2015 After a good rest at Shey Gompa, the Dolpo Team was ready to see where the next pass leads. Adam said it was another great day on the trail with perfect weather. The team has stopped for the night at Namgung Gompa which is in a canyon. “Sela was even more spectacular […]
September 26, 2015 Adam checked in after what we call an active rest day. The team trekked for about 4 hours which was a little more than Adam had planned but the team is just soaking everything in and they want more!  Shey Gompa was established during the 11th century. The IMG camp on […]
September 25, 2015 Adam checked in from Shey Gompa. It was an early morning for the team. A hot breakfast and a few cups of tea. Time to hit the trail! â€The transition is steep, cold, exhausting, and exhilarating, but the struggle to the top of Nangda La at 17,400’ is quickly forgotten when we […]
September 24, 2015 Today, the Dolpo Team left the river, climbing high up into side valley, with blue sheep roaming the hills. Over the past week they have only seen a handful of other westerners. Now, they are at the high camp at about 14,800 feet, below the Nangdala Pass. Tomorrow they will climb to […]

September 21, 2015 All is well from Phoksundo Lake. The Dolpo Team will have a rest day tomorrow to contemplate how a lake can be this blue. The team trekked uphill through the forest and crossed a few notable lines. As the trek began, the local people were mostly Nepalese hill folk, predominantly Hindu. As […]
September 20, 2015 The Dolpo Team was up early to get on the trail. For those who have not been with us in Nepal, there is a small alarm clock called Jor Bahador. Jor Bahador is one of our great cooks. He greets you with a smile and in the morning, wakes you with tea […]
September 18, 2015 The Dolpo Team was up early and on the move this morning. One of the great things about traveling half way around the world for a trip is that there is no problem waking up early for our team. They were up early and caught the first flight to Juphal today. Lopsang […]
