The funniest thing about the video is the 3 other guys watching. It’s almost like they too think it’s crazy and won’t get done in a lifetime!

yes Mark – I’m also a bit saddened by the road. However I do understand why they need it too. I talked to some locals about it and tried to get the pros/cons. I’ll be doing an upcoming post on it in Jan or Feb…so stay tuned!

Maybe that’s it – depth perception! Great – just another thing that is getting worse as I get older!

Let me know if you have any questions about Hands for Help – I’m still in touch with the people that run it! It was a really great experience there.

The up-down passage through the mountains is one of my lasting impressions from my trek some years ago in Nepal. A struggle up one steep path only to get to the crest to find the path weaving down the other side and snaking up the next mountain. Somehow it became mesmerising to as each valley opened new villages and scenery. I’m disappointed to seeing them build a road even if it will take several centuries to build. It will remove the character of such beautiful places.

Been anxiously awaiting this installment and it was worth the wait. I also have an irrational fear of high, narrow trails with no guardrails. I felt the same way when hiking Waiheke in New Zealand, although that is much lower than your trek, so I can only imagine how your stomach must have turned upside down.

With that narrow path I think your fears are totally rational, I especially wouldn’t want to carry a heavy back pack along that narrow trail

Sherry, I can relate to your fear of heights. I’ve always been somewhat afraid of high places. But as I’ve aged, the fear is much worse. Perhaps it has something to do with declining dept perception? All I know is that my knees start shaking and I can’t move. I would have crawled on your narrow path. It’s a great feeling of empowerment when you make it to the end of the trail.

Your photos are fantastic! I really enjoy reading about your travels. I am living in China at the moment, and hope to do some volunteering in Nepal. I’ve bookmarked Hands for Help! Your stories really inspire me to get as adventurous in my own travels as possible. Thanks for sharing them!
