My reason to go there: A friend name told me that she and some friends wanted to trek a very beautiful trail called the “Jomsom trek”, but there was no organizer for the trip. I googled it and was blown away by its beauty. So I told her I’ll organize a trip there.

ehemmm .. this is not a new holiday, just moving photo album from another website to here.
So this is about Nepal ... Land of the Gods....
If you are an avid hiker and love outdoor, don’t miss out Nepal …. It is a must go, you will never regret going there ….
I was there from 22 Oct 2005 to 6 Nov 2005 .... 9 of my 16 days there was spent trekking the Annapurna range, traversing thru breath taking valleys, serene villages, etc. It was magical.


It was a magnificent 2 weeks trip thanks to Nepal, it was a wonderful and memorable experience mingle in both the sacred and the profane in this once-forbidden kingdom nestled in the world's highest mountains the mighty Himalayas.
It is a land of enchantment with a unique blend of Hindu and Buddhist culture, breathtaking natural beauty, religious mystique, ancient temples, and timeless traditions that transport one back to another time.

Someday I'll wanna go back to this place .... it is a must.
