Destination in Nepal

Well, hot off the trail of the College M in Bozeman, my team is gearing up for an incredible adventure bringing supplies to the people in the Gorkha district! Rumor has it that we have our work cut out for us with elevation gain and loss, as well as trekking at altitude. Not to mention 60-75 pound packs at the beginning of the start of the trip.

As mentioned in a previous post, we will fly into Kathmandu when first arriving to the country. Then we will take a bus west toward the Annapurna Area Conservation District (I think some maps will say "Refuge"). I don't know the exact details but we will hike a large loop through the region ultimately ending in Pokhara, the second largest city in Nepal. Then we will take a bus back to Kathmandu to rendezvous with the rest of our teams.

Exciting news: we plan to have a SPOT device with us to send back messages and our locations like I've done on this blog on previous trips. You'll be able to follow along on our progress here at home!

Please Pray: Pray that we might be physically fit and conditioned enough when we arrive to be able to carry out our mission.  Pray that our bodies and our heads will adjust to the altitude quickly and not suffer too badly from side effects (headaches, lack of appetite, etc.). Pray that God would open doors for us with the Gorkha people.
