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.
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

Kagbeni è un villaggio fortificato, porta d'ingresso nel Mustang. I monarchi che qui anticamente risiedevano potevano controllare le vie carovaniere del nord, sud, est e ovest. Praticamente tassavano lo scambio di mercanzie in transito, in particolare le granaglie provenienti da sud con il sale e la lana provenienti dal Tibet..

Trek & Sketch from Collioure to Cadaquès, a 6 days hike and sketching class with François Levrault guide and Vincent Desplanche art tutor.
A group of foreign trekkers were ahead of us by half an hour. I was trying to capture the mountain when one of them stood up and stood there for like a minute. It was enough time to compose this frame.
Stage # 28 Àreu >> Refugio Baiau (5/5)
As I said before, I regret not having shot more panoramic photos... here it is another (made of 5v images), from the Estanys de Baiau (Baiau lakes) that surround the hill where the shelter is located. Can you imagine spending the night here?
To the other side of those peaks, Andorra was waiting for us.
