In October 2022, we set out from Pokhara to cycle the 386km Annapurna Circuit in Nepal. We followed the track that runs parallel to the hiking trail, hoping to cross over Thorong La pass. A late-season weather event delivered days of snow and rain, washed away roads and damaged communications. So despite all our preparation, things didn't quite go to plan...

    I love your attitude to go with the flow and appreciate the beauty of the world around you, sometimes to pause and listen. In the mountains, there is no such thing as bad weather, only bad attitude!๐Ÿ™‚ Your film is beautifully shot, I enjoyed it thoroughly.

    Wow, amazing movie and amazing story! ๐Ÿ‘
  • I organized a group hike to ABC right as the monsoon rains were starting. We got stuck in Kathmandu an extra night and almost missed the hike completely. With some perseverance, rain every day, and good attitudes we made the most of it and made it to ABC. While the views werenโ€™t what we hoped for, there was a deep sense of accomplishment knowing that this might not have happened at all. Great video and another reminder to be thankful for the journey, and not just the destination.
