A True Adventure
An absolutely captivating blog with glorious images. It is wonderful that you were able to share this with your father; you are very fortunate that he shares your passion for exploration and adventure, he seems a remarkable man. I'm sure the memory of your shared trek will remain strongly ingrained in your memory forever, and whenever you reminiscence about these ten remarkable days in the future, a contented smile will always gladden your face.

I'm very lucky to have had the chance
Not many get the opportunity to do this with their father so I count myself very fortunate. We've always been close and this experience will be remembered for a long time! (He's talking about Everest now...from the Tibet side!) I think he's caught the travel bug...it is rather contagious!

Hi, from Argentina
Excellent. Very useful blog. I am not going to do that kind of trekking but I think you described it so well that you deserve a prize, haha What a landscape. But what I like most is the people, always the people. Hugs from Argentina. Graciela.

Beyond my dreams
Your story extremely well told and illustrated. Congratulations to both, you - and your adventurous father. A little late now for me to excperience the wonders of this remakable journey, though we keep taking on a few strenuous hikes! Sadly we can't turn the clock back.

Thanks again Dave
Sorry it's taken a while to get back to you, we've allowed ourselves to get too far behind with these comments. It was a great experience doing the trek with my dad, I speak with him over skype now and he's still nostalgic about it...it'll live long in the memory. If you go to Nepal, I can't recommend this trek enough! Hope you're well!
