Hello and Welcome!

This blog is about the experiences of two sisters as they travel the world on and off over several years. Our blog starts with our first major backpacking trip in 2010 to Southeast Asia. After catching the travel bug, we subsequently explored the world both individually and together. From seeing the colosseum in Rome, to trekking to Manchu Picchu in Peru, to rock climbing in Joshua Tree, we have allowed our experiences to help us grow in few ways other things can. Our goal for this blog is not only to capture our memories, but to share all of our experiences with the people we love! We hope you enjoy!

Pictures - Namche Bazaar to Lobuche

Starting our climb from Namche to Deboche - Day #4

It was a nice clear day, finally! So we had good views of the mountains around Namche



The first section of the path - an easier section of the climb

Everest is on the left, Lhotse on the right



Mt Everest!

Good view of Everest and the South Col!

The path was fairly flat and followed the side of the hill for most of the morning (day #4)

We arrived in Tengboche in time to see the monks chanting in the monastery!

Ali and I outside the famous Tengbouche Monastery! (3800m)


Ali and Yjamjo outside the Amadablam Garden Lodge in Deboche (Day #5)


View of Amadablam - Day #5
Deboche to Dingboche


This is now past the 4000m mark -
the trees started to disappear and it became more barren and like a tundra
This is the small path that leads to Dingbouche



 On Day #6 we had to acclimitize in Dingboche - we did an acclimitization hike up to 5100m. This was taken on the way up, Dingboche is the town below


View partway up to the lookout


Finally after a tough uphill trek, we reached the lookout :)


at the lookout :)
