Here’s a video from little snippets along our Langtang Valley trek. It was an incredible experience despite some trying moments. The second-to-last day, in particular, tested my limits. There were moments where I had the urge to cry as every step brought a new surge of pain. I never wanted to quit walking as we were determined to make it as far as possible, but I remember thinking that I’d rather be crying and walking rather than just walking.
Wangden was a pleasure to travel with – I definitely wouldn’t have been able to complete the trek on my own. Spending all day with someone isn’t easy – we could’ve easily gotten fed up with each other. Instead, I enjoyed every minute of his company. If I wasn’t laughing at his jokes, we were engaged in thoughtful conversation. We had plenty of time to explore topics we wouldn’t have otherwise – it was just us and the trail.
