First Entry

---

Hello friends!
This is my first entry for my blog on my upcoming travels. I will be leaving the country on Saturday Nov 1st from Atlanta->Los Angeles->Bangkok->Kathmandu, Nepal! When I arrive in Kathmandu I am meeting up with the rest of my group (4-5 physicians and a few RN's) and our coordinators from Himalayan Healthcare. After a couple of days of orientation we head off for a medical trek to the Dhading region of the Ganesh Himals (the Himalayas) which I believe is not too far from the border with Tibet. We will be setting up temporary clinics for a few days at a time in a couple of small villages. This trek is two weeks in length. Upon returning to Kathmandu I will be getting a few things in order then heading over to Ilam, in the far eastern part of the country to stay at a small hospital, which operates under Himalayan Healthcare as well. I will be there for a undetermined amount of time, approx 3 months is a guess, then doing some tourist-type activities, trekking, etc in Nepal and India. I plan to return around April or May! If anyone feels like coming and traveling in India or Nepal let me know!
Please take a look at www.himalayan-healthcare.org for more details on the group and the work I'll be doing! I will try to update as I can and let you all know how things are going and share my adventures! Take care!
