Phulchowki

Photos of hike to the Pulchowki Peak back in 2010. The weather in Kathmandu was warm and nice and we thought it was a good idea to go hike to the peak without any jackets wearing only Tshirts. The weather was unforgiving, rainy and very windy. It was one of the most brutal trips of the early days of my hiking and adventure journey. And to make things worse we swam in the little body of water at the temple before we even began the hike which made us cold and wet before nature unleashed it's fully fury upon us for several hours. I have been to many places in my life but nowhere have I seen leech infestation at a scale I saw here. And that day we did not see a single person on the trail probably because no one traveled to this place during monsoon. It was a good experience to look back on though.
