Our pre-trip research has turned up some amazing multi-day treks in some of the countries we’ll be visiting. One of the most extreme has to be the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. The trek is 17 to 21 days long, covers roughly 186 miles and takes you up to nearly 18,000 feet.
Anjel and I are enthusiastic and in pretty good shape, but the one things we don’t have is much hiking and camping experience. Enter our good friend and wilderness enthusiast, Michael Yap. We’d been talking about going camping with him and his wife for sometime and finally set a date. Catching the last few days of REI’s big sale, Anjel and I spent an epic 5 hours in the Berkeley strore, trying on packs and boots. The pack department guy was unbelievably helpful and we walked out with two Osprey packs, two sleeping bags and a brand new pair of boots for me.
