I do not know from where to begin. Everything about this trek has been wonderful. I stumbled upon Upper Mustang while I was planning a trip to Tibet. It did not cross my stupid, ignorant mind that such a place could exist in my own country. After seeing some pictures and reading few blogs, I … More Tashi Delek Upper Mustang!
Bhaktapur, one of the three main cities of Kathmandu valley, lies at the western side of the valley. Roaming around the little alleys in this ancient city has always been like traveling back in time.

My first marathon was few years ago. I finished the race in 5 hours 20 mins. My goal was 4 hours 30 mins. Yup, nowhere closer to my goal. This year I was motivated to train again. I created a rough 12-weeks training plan so that I can participate in one of the races in early … More 26.2 miles!
