The trek was wonderfully relaxing in that it allowed me time with my thoughts, while also remaining challenging enough to keep me interested and motivated. Although I'm fairly fit, climbing six mountains a day can be difficult, so resting and stretching periodically at the teahouses over a warm fire, nice conversation, and some lemon, honey, ginger tea was a big must. Plus, there's nothing like a big bucket of freshly heated river water to bathe your bones in after a few days. I think I probably got the most restful sleep of my life during most of those nights. The mountains were also a great reprieve from the chaos of the capital and from the pressures of normal life as well. The trek boasted unique and breathtaking views of the lush mountain greenery I was longing to immerse myself in, and all the people we met along the way were all super friendly. Pokhara was also a really awesome little lake town with a manageable selection of shops and a nice variety of goods, restaurants, and things to do. I'd highly recommend this trek and Experience the Himalayas!
