Trek Tales with Tom Prater: Part 1

History of Trek Tales.


Hello from Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. We've settled in to the Summit Hotel and conquered jet lag. Our first round of medical/physiological testing was completed this morning at an altitude of 5000ft. Our group of 11 is getting reaquainted having first met in London in February. Kathmandu is a large, smoggy city full of friendly people. Hope to explore it this afternoon. Hope to have more to report in a day or two after our short flight to Lukla tomorrow and the beginning of our actual trek - two days from Lukla to Namche Bazaar. Now - off to find my luggage that went missing-- a shopping trip may follow!! Tom
