May 13, 1990 – Langtang Trek, Nepal – Journal Entry

May 21, 2023 – 10:42 am

I wish my camera was functional. The scenery and people are amazing. I speak with two German trekkers. Dieter is in his 40s. Thin and fit. His hiking partner is Miriam.

Day two and we dined with the Sherpa porters, cooks and guides by a campfire.
