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).
People have lots of reasons that they travel, but for us what makes traveling awesome are the people.
Getting a chance to hang out with the locals usually leads to some of the best moments of our trips. For that reason, we recorded the 16 ways to meet locals over on Jason’s podcast Zero to Travel.
As a sister podcast to that episode, we thought we’d share our favorite moments where spending time with the locals filled our tummies and our hearts, with joy.
How do you meet the locals when you travel? What stories do you have to share?
