Mardi Himal Trek


Day 1

After we woke up and ate breakfast the jeep came and picked us up and brought us to the place where we started our trek . We started our trek walking up stars and on a concrete path. Every half an hour to an hour there was a tee house and camp. First we walked and hiked 2 to 3 hours to get to Australia camp and had tea. After we had tea and snacks we hiked 1 to 2 hours to love camp. We found our room and put some layers on and went to go order dinner. When we were waiting for dinner we played in fog with a hacky sack. After dinner we bundled up in our sleeping bags and fell to sleep.



Day 2

When we woke up we went to go have breakfast I had dal bhat for breakfast. After we had breakfast we packed up and  started hiking. We were hiking in a forest on a trail that you easily lose track of. We hiked for 2 hours in the forest to the forest camp and had tea. After tea we started hiking again. We hiked up the stars, up paths and on paths, for 3 hours of hiking until we arrived at low camp. All of our friends were there so we bundled  up in blankets with our friends and we ate dal bhat and drank tea after dinner we fell asleep. 



Day 3

I woke to a cold morning and a warm breakfast of chicken curry and hot coco. After breakfast we started our trek to high camp so we started hiking to middle camp. We were hiking for about 46 minutes and then there was a flat space. We hiked past that flat space and up then we saw frost!  And we knew we were close. 24 minutes after that we arrived at the first house at middle camp because all of the hotels are spread out in medal camp. At the first house our friends got to cold so we were the only ones who went to high camp. We walked through all the tea hoses up to high camp on a snowy trail. After 2 hours and 45 minutes of hiking we finally arrived at high camp where we bundled up in the tea house then we heard a rooster. He was in a cage under a table. After we ate we fell asleep.         



Day 4

We woke up early to a very very very cold morning. There were no clouds outside because it was around 7:10. We got out of our beds to go see the views of Annapurna, fishtail and Mardi Himal. The views were so cool. You could see avalanches and so much snow and rock. After we had hot coco and potato curry. Once we were stuffed we started walking again down the snowy path. 2 hours of hiking and we found middle camp were we had gummy bears and snickers. After snacks we kept walking for 1 hour. After middle camp we came to low camp. We did not stop at low camp. We kept walking 3 hours after that and we arrived at forest camp. We played volley ball, ate dinner and fell asleep.    



Day 5

When we woke up we went to go play volley ball. After 30 to 45 minutes of playing we went to go have breakfast. For breakfast we had pancakes  and hot coco. After we had breakfast we started hiking again . Today was a short day with only 3 hours of hiking. We were hiking down stars and stars after we hiked 3 hours we arrived at a village and went on the jeep.   



PUDDLES


Every  time i walked by a puddle i took a stick and splashed it through the puddle. It made a pattern of wrinkles that got bigger and bigger like marble panting. I did this in about 21 puddles. Sometimes when i do this  it makes it really cool and sometimes not that cool. Every time i did this it made a different  pattern of  wrinkles. once i made a really cool one that looked like a dragon..




NARCHYANG 


Wen we got to Narchyang our hotel lady greeted us with tikka and scarves. After that we slumped on the couch while they were making dal bhat fore lunch. After lunch we took a walk through the village.. We saw baby rabbits, baby goats, and baby chicks. After the walk we made dinner with the ladies. For dinner we had noodles with carrots cucumbers and peas and momos and potatoes. After dinner we went to bed and when we woke up we had breakfast and my mom went to go get a nettle picking basket then we left.



SWANTA 

When we arrived at Swanta we passed a hotel called the pyramid hotel. We planned not to stay at Swanta but i said we should and turns out the food was really good. When we arrived it started to rain and hail we played games inside until the rain finally stopped then we ordered dinner. For dinner we had dal bhat. After dinner we were tired so we went to bed. After breakfast we went to go play then we left.

Sawyer, I love the picture of you and your friends huddled up in blankets on beds together. How nice it was that you were hiking part of this trail with friends. I can see in the picture how foggy it was outside. You were literally sleeping in the clouds! That is a bond that you will have together with these friends for the rest of your lives.


The trek looks pretty challenging. You were in a forest on a trail you could lose site of. I get exhausted just looking at all the steps you had to climb up and I get dizzy just looking at the pictures of climbing down them. I bet you were in the lead mo…

About Wide Horizons

What if we found the mute button on the cultural messaging around hustle and money being the only currency to respect/strive for. What if we spent a year listening to other messages from humanity? What if we experienced ourselves outside our bubble of privilege? What if we shared a moment of togetherness in this finite space of childhood.   Our idea to “world school” was born from a year of asking what really matters to us in this moment of time. We realized that while nothing in life is guaranteed that we currently have an abundance of privilege. Health, savings, a home support system, a love for one another and a deep desire to create meaningful experiences together gave us the courage to say yes to this project.
