Mountain

Instead of accessing Inle Lake in Central eastern Myanmar by road, we decided to get off in Kalaw and go on the popular 3 days/ 2 nights trek to reach the lakeside. Sweating during the day, freezing at night we experinenced a great walk with a hillarious group and afterwards enjoyed the beauty and serenity of Inle Lake.

Time to leave Hoi An and Vietnam for Laos. Airliners that we are, we took the opportunity to fly in order to reach Dien Bien Phu (plus it saved us a bottom pain 48 hours bus journey). The journey took us from Danang airport (30 min away from Hoi An) to Hanoi and then connecting to DBP. The next day we travelled to Phongsaly where one of the most authentic experiences was just ahead of us…

As we travelled across Nepal, there was something striking me…how come a country with such fresh water resources is facing such an issue with access to drinking water. So I decided to bore you a little with my impressions and some facts but as a reward, I will post many nice pictures of waterfalls!!!

As Nepal is THE trekking country and Alex was not tired of hiking up and down some mountains we decided to do a short trek in the Annapurna region together.

Reaching the Everest Base camp by foot was one of the objectives of this RTW trip. I wanted to hike in high altitude, enjoy a great view on the highest peaks in the world and experience a long trek.

I must say that I was not disappointed by this experience and especially by the landscape we have crossed. Though doing this trek at the end of the monsoon season brought some challenges.

At the end, I reached the EBC, climbed the mount Kala Pathar and saw glimpses of the Everest, more to read on this article …
