Everest Base Camp Trek 15 days

I was nervous about the altitude, but the pace never let it become a problem. Two acclimatization days — one above Namche, one at Dingboche — and the guide checking our oxygen every evening made the height feel earned rather than risked. Base Camp was the goal, but sunrise from Kala Patthar was the moment: Everest going gold while we stood in the cold in complete silence. November meant freezing nights and empty trails; the teahouse stoves and endless dal bhat made up for both.

Annapurna Circuit Trek

Crossing the Thorong La is the hardest and best thing I have done on a trail. We left under headtorches and the trek leader set a slow, even rhythm that put all eight of us at the prayer flags on 5,416 m just after sunrise. The build-up mattered as much: the acclimatization day in Manang, bakery stops, apple orchards lower down. Teahouses were simple and warm, and every lodge was arranged before we walked in.

Langtang Valley Trek

Langtang was my third trek in Nepal and the one I think about most. The trail climbs through forest loud with birdsong into a high valley walled by ice, and in April the rhododendrons were absurd. Our guide grew up nearby and carried the valley's story — including the 2015 earthquake — with real care. The dawn walk above Kyanjin Gompa, tea at the top, cheese from the Kyanjin dairy afterwards: quiet, unhurried days, done properly.
