@SKT @indigostiff Thanks guys. All my IH served me very well on this trip as I didn’t bring very many clothes. I’ve travelled for 6 weeks with only a carry on bag. Quality over quantity!

@T4920 in his happy place

It’s hard to believe that my time in Thailand is almost up. It’s been kinda a blur since I left Nepal. I came down with a cold in Pai and it was the perfect place to ride it out. I had a great hut with a nice hammock, comfy bed and restaurants near by. Rode the Mae Hong Son motorcycle loop and am now at Bangkok airport.. Flying home today and not looking forward to the cold.

Big shoutout to Tom @T4920 . A few months ago we figured our paths may cross and kept in contact about possibly meeting up. As it worked out, we were able to meet in Pai about a week ago. He’s truly an awesome guy and had a great time hanging with him. I now understand why he loves the place ️

Chiang Mai, Thailand

@T4920 I feel for ya bro! I’ll be in the same boat next week …

Actually yesterday when I met up with @T4920 here in Pai, Thailand. More on that soon.

@SKT Great shots and thanks for sharing. Keep warm!

@pechelman Yeah, I like trying incense from different countries. I still have some from my trip to India a couple of years ago and my wife restocked our Japanese incense when she was back there in September. Incense from Nepal / Tibet in general has more of an earthy scent compared to India incense. Smells lovely!

Here are a few more pictures from Nepal. The last 4 weeks have been a wonderful experience here and the weather has been great. Tomorrow I fly to Chang Mai, Thailand and start the next leg of my trip.

I can’t say enough good things about these boots. I’ve been wearing them daily for the past month here in Nepal and am so happy that I brought them. They have great traction on the trails with the Commando Sole and are very comfortable to wear all day. I am also pleased on how they are beginning to patina and are starting to show some character. 3 months old.

Happy New Year everyone! Wishing you all peace, love and happiness in 2025 … and the odd adventure here and there️

@endo Thank you sir. All the pictures are straight from my phone camera, unedited. That is Annapurna South (7219m) taken from Poon Hill lookout station. I climbed about an hour in the dark to make it up there for sunrise and it was so worth it! The colours of the mountains started changing so fast as the sun came up. I also have a video, but can’t seem to figure how to post it here. It’s posted on my Instagram story if you’re interested …

@SKT Thanks man, much appreciated! I’ve been trekking on trail for 10 days and tried to round out the pictures. One thing I conveniently left out were stairs … so many stairs …

A few more pictures from Nepal.

@T4920 Thanks for sharing the pictures - looks amazing. I should be there in about 10 days or so, give or take. In Pokhara now and heading to Chitwan National Park before heading back to Kathmandu to fly out. Will keep in touch.

@sabergirl That’s close to me. I’m about an hour north of Port Alberni. I heard they shut down the ferries yesterday due to wind and rain. Have fun in Tofino and stop by Goats on the Roof in Coombs if you get a chance.

@T-J Yes, that’s part of the Annapurna range behind me. I’ll upload some pictures when I get better internet access as this area is truly breathtaking beautiful.

Currently in Ghorepani/Poon Hill, Nepal
