I only have two travel tips for trekking in the Himalayas.
1) If you don't want to get lost, follow the trail of donkey droppings. It may smell but they'll lead you back to civilization. Donkeys are used as the main source for transporting goods between villages.
2) If you want to follow the easiest route of a trail, follow the donkey droppings. Donkeys are surprisingly efficient animals.
Ridiculous number of stairs! From now on when I'm given the choice between taking the stairs or elevator I only have one answer...elevator!
Not only were my legs sore but my neck as well. Count can't how many times I've bowed and said namaste (hi).

| What a contrast between the top and the bottom. |
