Dad's Trek



I took a short trek through the "foothills" of the Himalayas. The maximum altitude was about 7200 feet, but we had to go up and down over, so many ridges. My guide and I stayed in the local "hotels" along the way. Overall we covered about 24 miles. We went through many villages which grow their food locally, in terraced farms.  The hillsides were so steep that the terraced garden plots had cut banks often 6 and 8 feet high.  Here are some photos of the scenery.
