One sleep to go.

For some the trip begins today with flights to Auckland. Tomorrow we gather at Auckland airport and are finally together as the whole team of 19 later on Saturday in Bangkok.

At times the trip feels like it will be an easy meander up the Langtang valley and across Gosainkund Pass before heading down to the plains for a few days elephant riding. At other times the challenges of climbing Naya Khang and walking the Annapurna ciruit in 7 long days create a greater sense of challenge.
