Skychasers designs and hosts insider pilgrimage treks thru the High Himalaya and beyond

I've been living in or traveling to the Nepal Himalaya for the past 15 years, and I must say, it's become a major life-giving force for me. Every visit gives me renewed energy, confidence in myself and humanity, clarity of mind, and a focus on the things that are truly important in life. One day on trek can instantly re-order priorities to where they should be. Part of this comes from the purity o

f living the simple life, ie, walking, eating, and sleeping ~ you can't go wrong with this non-multi-tasking lifestyle! But, the people of this country are the real magnets, the real healers, and the real role models for genuinely welcoming outsiders with open hearts and minds. Each trek reinforces the old adage on Nepal, "you go for the mountains and return for the people." And, I might add, not just the people, but the culture, the color, the religion . . . The goal of Skychasers is to transition from bottling all of the above for myself, to sharing it with you as well. Don't worry, every tour will have plenty of mountains - that's a given - but there's so much more out there. For instance, this fall we'll be dinner guests in a friend's home in Kathmandu, on top of a hill, with Himalayan views, at sunset. It's this kind of insider experience that will make you feel like you're leaving home when you leave Nepal.

The bad news? It's really steep ⬆️

The good news? Its steepness takes your now-deranged mind off the drops and ⬇️ . . . and, it's optional!

Everest climbing season is in full swing . . . Sherpas have paved the way as far as the South Col by fixing ropes for the rest of us to clip into and climb . . .

Fall 2019 Everest Base Camp preview cont . . . I'm a huge fan of Island Peak and we're offering it as an optional climb and trek finale this fall.
>
It's a couple notches more challenging than Kala Patthar and Everest Base Camp, but also a much bigger experience in a high and mighty world of ice and snow.
>
For most trekkers it's a top 5 most challenging experience of a lifetime and a top five most rewarding experience of a lifetime.
>
A big peak like this is possible for inexperienced climbers only in Nepal, thanks to Sherpa support and sacrifice . . . take advantage of it!

Hear my daughter, Anabelle, explain the role of Seneca Falls, NY in the women's rights movement . . . Happy International Women's Day! I'm inspired and mostly just trying to keep up physically, mentally, spiritually, and emotionally to the women and girls in my life, my wife, Mary Ellen, and daughters Anabelle & Maisy ( @mefrancescani @anabellelapp ). Oh yeah, there are plenty more of you too, for example, pretty much every female trekker I've ever hiked with, all of you who are tagged in the video, a bajillion of you who are too cool for Insta, and on and on and on . . . #changeyourworld #girlpower

Totally feel your pain, quaktor driver, we're sputtering into the weekend too . . . as far as I know, this combo rototiller/pickup truck doesn't have a name, so I call it a quaktor, a cross between a duck, tractor, and earthquake. Ubiquitous throughout Nepal, this particular beauty was seen crushing it on a cruise through the lakeside resort of Pokhara > if you know what these beasts are called, send me a shout! #ithinkicanithinkican #ithinkican

Play hard, eat hard ... heading up the Thame Valley towards Tibet tomorrow ... #challengeyourworld

Mornings at Boudha #challengeyourworld

Prayer flags whipped into a frenzy by 40mph winds on top of the Thorong La pass, 17,769 ft. Tika's Trekkers fought their way over this challenging pass of the #highhimalaya with a 5,800 ft blistering downhill as the reward. #challengeyourworld

Double bonus: the high road is also the road less traveled. Today a couple of us ended up on this bit of sketch on the hike to Tilicho Base Camp. Yesterday we voted on our team name and Tika's Trekkers came out on top. #tikastrekkers

Lots of color on Washington with plenty of goretex and golden light

Prayer Flags on Everest

Tibet's Everest Base Camp last year. Prayer flags do their best work when the wind is howling . . .
