Following the journals of our American friend from Northern California, Magic Mike, as he was completing over 12,000 kilometers of thru hikes the past few years, Mr. Rajan was inspired to design a trek similar to those in the USA which touch the borders of their neighboring counties, Mexico and Canada. While our own Great Himalayan Trail, moving East-West, is considered one of the toughest challenges in the outdoors, its high elevations and massive commitment of time and resources, make it unattainable for nearly all trekkers.
Knowing how the diversity of Nepal unfolds when traveling South to North, I realized it would be very reasonable and exciting to touch the India border, turn towards the Himalayas, and in 15-25 days be at our other neighbor’s border, China. Moving this direction not only takes one through all the layers of Nepal's geography, history, culture and spirituality, it does so all while watching our great Himal Mountains get nearer and larger each day of the trek. I also felt this could be best done when we need tourists most in Nepal, December to February.
So after two years of mapping the trek, and with Magic Mike’s encouragement, I discovered the best path would include stops along the way in Nepal’s treasured destinations like Tansen, Bandipur, Gorkha and Ruby Valley…this is when I knew I must make the first attempt myself along with Mike. So with two of Earthbound’s most dedicated team members, Kaji Sherpa and Chetan Rai, on January 4th we boarded a flight to Lumbini, touching the India border around 4pm, and on January 22nd at 10:40am, 440 kilometers later and with our footsteps continuously linked, we arrived at the Tibet, China border at 10:40am.
