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.
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.

Top of the saddle before leaving the trail and following the ridge to an unnamed peak. This is about 2400m, about 700m above the trailhead and here there was a man selling water and tea.
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.

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

Situated just east of one of the most popular treks of Nepal, the Annapurna Base Camp trek, the Mardi Himal trek is a hidden gem. Few trekkers make their way to the Mardi Himal Base Camp spectacularly situated at the base of Mardi Himal and the impressive Machapuchhre.
The trail goes along small winding paths, through magical rhododendron forests until you climb out of the forest at an elevation around 3,300 m. The landscape changes quite abruptly into a rugged high mountain landscape, with amazing views of Mardi Himal, Machapuchre, Annapurna South and Hiunchuli.
From High Camp (3580 m; some maps incorrectly mention 3900 m) you can climb up to Mardi Himal Base Camp in about 3-4 hours, which offers spectacular close up views of the entire Annapurna Range.
There are simple guesthouses and homestays along the entire route. If you plan to do this trek in the winter months please check with a local tour operator if the lodges are open.
Seasons: March,April, May, September, October, November.
Altitude : 4500 metre.
Level of Difficulty : Medium

Ii cielo è grigio e la temperatura calda e umida, ma ormai pago delle bellissime giornate trascorse al Santuario la fatica la sento meno anche se son ormai 17 giorni di cammino senza alcun giorno di riposo. ne approfitto per imprimere nella mia memoria e nella mia fotocamera alcune di queste stupende persone incontrate durante il viaggio..

When we were discussing options for this year's autumn hiking adventure, it almost seemed like there was nothing left in northern Scandinavia that we all still wanted to explore. However, after some discussions, we realized that Finnish Lapland might be an interesting and convenient location for our regular autumn outdoor pursuits.
After conducting some research and planning, we narrowed our focus to Finland's northwest, bordering Sweden and Norway. More specifically, we honed in on the Käsivarsi Wilderness Area, which happens to be the second-largest wilderness area in Finland.
-----
Käsivarsi is somewhat atypical for Finland due to its higher elevation (Finland's highest peak, Halti (1,324m), is located in its northern tip), rugged terrain, and limited wooded areas. This combination sounded particularly attractive to us because it meant we would hike across various types of landscapes, both on and off marked trails.
Our itinerary was as follows: Kilpisjärvi/Saana mountain -> Tshahkaljärvi lake -> Siktagurajohka river -> Meekonjärvi lake including trip to Pitsusköngäs waterfall -> Porojärvi lake including ascent of Saivaara cliff -> Guhturgurajávri/Termisjärvi lakes -> Ailakkajärvi lake -> Kilpisjärvi.
