John Saboe's Far East Travels

I've been visiting Nepal for the past 8 years, this was my 7th visit. Obviously by the number of visits it's not hard to tell I'm in love with this country. The trekking posibilites amidst the highest mountains on the planet. Unique culture and incredibly fascinating cities and sites. Some of the best wildlife viewing on the planet. I was in Nepal on this visit to lead a small group to Annapurna Base Camp. An interesting and fantastic hike  for first time trekkers.
