Sherry hikes the Annapurna circuit – Nepal (with her Dad)
Thinking about trekking in Nepal?
Reckon the Annapurna Circuit is for you?
Looking at hiking in Nepal on a budget?
Want to read a beautifully written adventure story?
We recently found a jewel of a travel blog. A wonderfully written, detailed site that shares some great travel adventure stories and information.
There are some talented adventure writers around the world. People with great skills and a wonderful ability to tell a story. Thanks to Nora (the Professional Hobo), we ‘discovered” Sherry at Ottsworld (we are sure she has been well discovered before now, but we just discovered her)
Sherry uses the tag : Travel and Life Experiences of a Corporate American Runaway , and she has just completed a terrific series called Tiger Balm Tales
The Tiger Balm Tales will be a series of posts and photo documentaries which chronicle our father-daughter journey to Nepal for 26 days; the trekking, the people, the culture, the great heights (and some lows), and the excessive use of Tiger Balm.
I asked my dad if he wanted to join me as I really thought that he, out of any of my family or friends would appreciate the simplicity of Nepal and the rural lifestyle of the villages. Plus, at 73 years old, I felt like it would be quite an opportunity to see the mountains of Nepal. After a lot of uncertainty and pressure from others in the family (the most coming from my mom) he decided to join me. Game on…
Please take the time to read Sherry’s series, there is some terrific information and it is a great planning tool if you ever want to visit Nepal.

I’m blushing! Thanks so much for featuring my blog ‘novel’! It was an amazing trip with my father – something I’ll never forget. Just hoping I can provide others with Annapurna Circuit info as well as inspire them to take on challenges whatever their age!
You’ve got a nice site – will def. bookmark it! I love hiking and am actually looking for a new, next challenge. It feels a bit weird to have nothing on the horizon! Any suggestions?!
Nepal is a wonderful place. Its mountains are fabulous.Let me quote a poem written by Bhuwan Thapaliya about Nepal. We are lucky to visit Nepal.
Our Nepal, Our Pride
Our heaven on Earth, Nepal, our Pride,
Our domicile of God is free as infinite
As the sun’s portentous rays leading far and wide
Its celestial balm to all alike!
Earth has, believe me, so little to show fairer
Than this, our facsimile, inimitable paradise;
Illustrious as far as Milton’s ranging rhymes,
Even to the Goddess it did add such delight
As manna slipped from the skirt of heaven
To eternalise our Earth, an inward and an outward sign,
Adding celestial sublime here to shine more
Than twilight on Earth, where Everest, ours, is
Heaven’s stairwell for all Nepalese tribes alive!
All Hail, holy land, clear offspring of heaven,
From heaven not far off, yes, in precincts of light
Where even Gods with Goddesses dance
Hand-in-hand, from birthing dusk till dawn,
Eyes, theirs and ours, uplifted in amazing pride.
