Nepal.

Just the name conjures up images of majestic mountains, incredible landscapes, and some of the world’s most enchanting natural beauty.

For many people, trekking in Nepal is a lifelong dream.

It certainly was for Jason, and last December, he was able to achieve it by hiking through the Himalayas for an entire month.

Today, he joins us to give a complete recap of what the experience was like (hint: amazing) and also provide everything you could ever want to know about the logistics of planning and pulling off a similar trip.

Everything from what route to take, whether you should hire a guide, and even where you should buy piyush (and what exactly it is).
