Above, the trail to Lhonak from 1848...
To our Kanchenjunga Adventure blog! In May of this year we are setting out to trek the high spots of one of the loveliest areas of the Himalaya, the high passes, valleys and villages of the Kanchenjunga region in Eastern Nepal. As I (Joel) write here from Kathmandu, it is a freezing and foggy night, and I am looking forward to the warm days of spring and our evenings here in the Kathmandu Guest house before we depart, and our many evenings under canvas in the warm middle hills and the crispy cold glacier camps among the snowy peaks.
I will be mailing details out to all of our group, so we can all contribute to this weblog..
But the idea is that I will keep you updated with our trek details...books, cameras, Kathmandu, gear, its all here.
Enjoy!
Joel

Has it really been 4? Time flies when you are having fun doesn't it?
Be good to catch up with Lobsang and Temba again. Are you coming down to Jakarta after Vietnam or what?? I hope old Soozy didn't scare you off with his stories...
"Solid", Bloody hell. He means "Fat" mate! But don't worry, we've got a weeks walking in the heat down low to sweat off that extra 30kg we been carrying around for the past 30 years.
Rumour has it that you can buy the odd beer in the towns we pass through to help speed up the rehydration process as well.
What about a gear list specific to kanch?
How many litres of wine can we bring on this one?
David has a lot to say!!
