Island Peak Climbers Kickback!

Namaste friends, family and loved ones,

Exploring the street markets of Kathmandu was the order of the day. Everything from beans to chickens and electronics were on display. To wind up the day of town trekking we had our celebration dinner in a nearby trendy rooftop eatery.
You would have been proud to see how we put away the calories. Then we said our goodbyes as everyone shift gears and start to get ready for new adventures. It was a great climb with a great group and I hope we can do it again in the near future. Thank you for joining us on our climb of Island Peak. Carole and I will soon be leading our climb of the highest and possibly most scenic of Nepal’s trekking peaks, Mera Peak.

All our best,
Carole and Vern Tejas
