Had the ultimate duvet day today. Snacks, and watched Tenzing πŸ‘ŒπŸ½ I used to write a mountain blog (as well as food). I loved hiking back then, and had some amazing adventures, but my trek to Everest Base Camp will always be the one that stays with me. I actually cried when I first saw Everest πŸ₯Ή

ASIA TRAVEL | After an appetite-inducing trek into the Himalayas, slow the clock and savor an easy hour at Black Olives' cozy courtyard cafe in Nepal's capital, Kathmandu, with its tight but expansive menu ranging from spicy curries to a BLT. From Stars and Stripes' Joseph Ditzler:
Buy time for lunch at Black Olives courtyard cafe in Kathmandu

Yes, this beach is in Hong Kong! Located just beside Tsin Yue Wan, and you will pass it should you hike to the Fan Lau Lighthouse. Ah, I want to go back!

A drone shot I made in Hong Kong in May 2022. A wonderful small island to explore by hiking. Port Island is famous for its striking reddish-brown sedimentary rocks, which give the island its Chinese name meaning "Red Island". The island is part of the Hong Kong UNESCO Global Geopark.

ASIA TRAVEL | Recent incidents of flooding and glacial collapse have not deterred hikers from making their way to the Himalayas to stand in awe of the world's tallest mountains. Stars and Stripes' Joseph Ditzler recently made the trek to Annapurna Base Camp. Check out his dispatch from Nepal:

Mountain treks are popular in Nepal, and many tour companies offer them.

Probably the hardest hike I ever did. The Wild Goose Valley Path in Hong Kong. We ended up in a storm and had to exit the trail on Ma On Shan earlier than expected.
