Ayer, después de algunas horas de caminata por senderos internos, llegamos a la Cumbre de El Roble, hermosa vista, excelente para relajarse, salvo por la repetidora de TVN que está en el lugar.
The morning was beautfiul.....after getting down at Khubi Fata one has to walk this dam to reach the base village of Khireshwar.
This was the start of the trek....
Max thanks for the camera :)
The track leads through the sacred Tōpuni area of the Hooker Valley, which has special significance and values to Ngāi Tahu iwi, towards Aoraki/Mount Cook.
From the first of three swing bridges along the way, enjoy the views over the Mueller Lake and listen for the rumbling of avalanches from the distant Mount Sefton. Try to spot them before they crash into the Mueller Glacier below.
Another slide to digital transfer, circa 1978. Not so great, but it's a view.
A friend and I decided to do a little trek. Since we were only going for 3-4 days, we left our backpacks at our lodgings in Kathmandu and took only our sleeping bag stuff sacks, filled with only the essentials. Sleeping bag, change of underwear and socks, a little bit of TP, toothbrush and toothpaste.
The red sack in the bottom left is mine, The large animal is the ever ubiquitous wandering water buffalo.
This is a little village we passed thru on the way to higher elevations.
You could always find food and lodgings, most often with a Nepalese family. The food was lentil soup and tea, the lodging was a straw mat on the floor sometimes shared with the family as the house could be small, one story, one room.
Sometimes the owner of a "restaurant" or whatever could speak minimal English and would ask a traveler for a name for his place to attract other vagabonds.
They'd paint it on a big plank of wood to hang outside over the door.
Even the foothills of Nepal are VERY steep and we were climbing up one that felt just shy of being perpendicular. As we approached the top, we first saw the roofs, a little higher we saw a little more. Then, there it was.
The Sign.
BEANIE'S BAR and GRILL. 😅
It cracked me up and I almost fell backwards down the hill.
I'm certain the owner had absolutely no idea what that even meant, but someone probably told him the name of their favorite place back home.
But I must admit, I did secretly entertain a tortured hope for a hamburger, fries and nice cold beer.
It served lentil soup and tea.

Wee opted to take the trail to the right rather than trek the jeep trail. It was absolutely breathtaking!
For us in the wealthy nations, we can pay for Nepalese porters to carry our loads, and they earn less in a year than I carried in my pocket. If the country introduces more regulations, as with all regulated activities there will be costs, both financial and ethical. The tragedy in Nepal could have easily been avoided with a simple weather warning, but it remains a fact that porters will have died due to inadequate training and equipment. They are wonderful people who work to provide education and basics for their families and deserve everything they are paid and more. We could not enjoy these wonderful places without them
The Kanchanjanga trekking trail is a diversified route whose match is found nowhere else in Nepal. You begin your trek from the Tarai lowlands of Nepal and go up to the high-lying Kanchanjanga surroundings. Mt. #Kanchanjanga is the third highest mountain on the planet. Trekking on its laps is a journey full of wilderness and adventure. This less-explored and less-crowded trail presents spectacular opportunities of trekking in a peaceful and tranquil atmosphere passing through varying climates. bit.ly/2csvLhX.

African elephants (Loxodonta africana), range throughout the savannahs of sub-Saharan Africa and the rainforests of central and West Africa.
Elephants are matriarchal, meaning they live in female-led groups. The matriarch is usually the biggest and oldest. She presides over a multi-generational herd that includes other females, called cows, and their young. Adult males, called bulls, tend to roam on their own, sometimes forming smaller, more loosely associated all-male groups.
Having a baby elephant is a serious commitment. Elephants have a longer pregnancy than any other mammal - almost 22 months. Cows usually give birth to one calf every two to four years. At birth, elephants already weigh some 200 pounds and stand about three feet tall.
This beautiful scene of Elephants grazing in the early morning light with Mt. Kilimanjaro as the backdrop was photographed on a game drive in Amboseli National Park, Kenya.
Yesterday was the first time I've seen the marina and the port at high tide. You can clearly see where the marina wall is (with the post sticking up) and the other side which is part of the port.

The sea and sky were such a beautiful blue yesterday, I was so glad I had to go down, even if it's a trek and a half.
Better viewed large and thank you for your favourites. :O)

Stage # 37 Beget >> Sant Ariol d'Aguja (2/4)
Ups and downs, there were two stronger ascents that put to the test our weary bodies, which were carrying 15 kg over nearly 40 days.
But the freshness of the forest heals us quickly. The forest, it's mushrooms, it's mosses, shadows and fountains... and so many birds singing...
In fact the forest sing for us as we go, a singing of many beings that lurk in the shadows. Will the trees themselves sing?
We are increasingly interning in the mild Mediterranean climate, the month of August is near and... we found the first blackberries, fruit that she loves!
Day trip: 16.40 Km, total time 7:28 h, moving time 4:52 h, total ascent: 592 m, total descent: 654 m
