A winter road trip in Iceland

Iceland, the land of fire and ice, is one of the most beautiful countries I've ever been to. Think vast plains and active volcanoes, snowy mountains and black sand beaches, ancient history and a landscape that inspired some eerie folklore. While it’s best visited in the summer if you want rolling green hills and a …

Hiking to Rainbow Lake

Before You Go The trailhead is a short walk or bike ride from Alta Lake so it's perfect if you don't have a car. It takes around 4 - 5 hours for the 16km round trip, the path is well marked and you only gain 850m elevation, so it's one of the shortest and easiest …

Living the dream in Langkawi

Getting there and where to stay While in Penang we were offered an easy option for getting to Langkawi for RM60, but we decided to do it ourselves and use public transport. It might not be quicker or easier, but it's always cheaper and makes for a much better story. We took a free ferry …

I'm glad we spent the night in Tadapani (2680m) but there are some stunning guesthouses with this view overlooking the valley as you follow the path right down to the Kyumrung River (1525m). From there it's a killer climb to Chhomrong (2160m)! 🇳🇵
That view though... 🇳🇵
It was a looooong walk to get to Tadapani (2680m) from Ghorepani, but what a view to wake up to! It was our first clear shot of the dramatic and unsummited Machapuchare (6993m). 🇳🇵
I think Day 4 of the ABC trek was the hardest. We had no sleep, got out of bed at 5am to climb Poon Hill (3210m) in the dark in time for sunrise, then walked 10km with some killer ups and downs (pictured is Deurali Pass at 3132m) to reach Tadapani. It was a long, slow, exhausting but beautiful journey. 🇳🇵
Prayer flags and peaks... The perfect sunrise view of Fang (7647m), Annapurna South (7219m) and Hiunchuli (6441m). 🇳🇵
After zero sleep (thanks to the screaming school children in our guesthouse) @vandaportela and I almost skipped sunrise at Poon Hill (3210m)... but we had major FOMO, so we set off at 5:30am, pushed ourselves to our limits and made it just in time! Totally worth every stair, dizzy spell and tantrum. 🇳🇵
