Nepal

In December, we visited Kagbeni, in Lower Mustang and the pilgrimage town of Muktinath in the Annapurna Region, Nepal. The trekking season was almost over, so it was very quiet - but also cold!

The Lumba Sumba Pass trek is in a little-known region, the remote Eastern Himalaya of Nepal. The trail traverses the mountains between the third and fifth highest in the world - Kanchenjunga and Makalu. It passes through rarely visited Sherpa and Limbu villages, rugged valleys and up to the spectacular Lumba Sumba pass (about 5200 meters above sea level) itself.
