Notes:

When people talk about Nepal everyone thinks about trekking to Everest.  We wanted something different – the road less traveled.  Starting in Katmandu we trekked for 10  days with a small group of  adventurers up the Goyko Valley.  Beautiful views of rivers and lakes and stunning mountains including Everest, Lhotse, Makal and Cho Oyu were our constant companions.  We climbed to the summit of Goyko Ri at 5357 m and felt like we were at the top of the world.  The trip was everything we were hoping for.
