![]() Again, not the first time I’ve noticed this, but I’m seeing it here most often. It’s accepted here, as in many other Asian countries, to throw any rubbish you have out the window or on the ground. This isn’t the first time I’ve noticed this duality in a country, but I feel it here the most. Simultaneously, there’s poverty and trash everywhere. On one hand, it’s beautiful, luxurious, and elegant. Like Nepal, it’s a place where everything is confusing and a little everywhere, but it all makes sense in the end and works out fine. There’s lots of noise and yeah, it’s crowded, but I don’t feel it’s very chaotic. I’ve found that as a whole, India is not as chaotic as everyone describes. So far, I’ve gotten tastes of Delhi, Jaipur, and Udaipur, and next, we’re heading to Jodhpur, Jaisalmer, and Varanasi, then up North! I’ve been shoving naan, roti, and all the curries down my throat. I’m trying not to let my constant nausea get in the way of exploring India, both literally and gastronomically. That being said, I’ve only had to spend maybe a total of two days in bed. It’s been taking a while for my body to get used to this new country. The immigration officers were the friendliest people I’ve come across yet. I was full of excitement and the airport was lovely and I just couldn’t wait to see what I had gotten myself into. Getting off the plane in Delhi was magical. I’m here with my boyfriend, so I’m not travelling solo like I had dreamed of, but I can’t complain. It’s the place I’ve wanted to travel solo to forever. One of my first trips, I met a traveller who had just been to India and he put India so high on my bucket list. Monsoon season came early in Nepal, so instead of waiting around in the rain, we decided to hop on over to India! I’ve wanted to go to India for SO long. ![]() It took us a helicopter ride, a jeep ride, a taxi, and a hell of a lot of bargaining. That was one of the more physically challenging things I’ve done, and I won’t lie, I was a little excited to finally finish the third pass and head back to Kathmandu.īut we struggled to get to Kathmandu. ![]() The three passes were stunning, but BOY were they testing. I love the contradiction of feeling so small yet so big. It’s so humbling to be within these giant mountains, and so empowering to be able to walk over them. I’ve never seen views like those I saw on this trek. Well, let’s start with the big one! I finally completed the three passes trek! I wanted to do this last year, but after a couple people went missing on the first pass, I got scared off and just did Everest Base Camp. The dusty charm of Kathmandu, the fresh mountain air, and the fact that everything is so damn chaotic but it all works out in the end. To start, I’m in Asia! Being back in Nepal has been absolutely amazing. Wow, has it been an eventful couple of weeks! I ALMOST had to be medically evacuated out of the mountains in a helicopter and I made it to India! It’s been an interesting and eventful couple of weeks, and I’m here to share all of the highlights and craziness that’s been going on.
