Virginia S. (October 2012 Trek)

Have you ever dreamed of visiting Nepal, having a great adventure where no tourists have been before you, riding or swimming with an elephant?? If yes, then a trek to Nepal with Dr. Tel-Oren is for you! And the proceeds of the trek build schools and educate children in Nepal who would otherwise never have any education at all. 

What could be better??? For me, not a thing.   I only wish that I had not waited until I was 63 for my first trek, and that I had trained harder before going. A trek in the foothills of the Himalaya is not a stroll in the park! The trek I did in October of 2012 was, over a period of days, the most physically demanding endeavor that I have undertaken. But I did it, and now that I am home I enjoy every day the level of fitness that I have gained and the mental and physical strength that I have.   Why, I wonder, do I often think I would like to return for another trek with Dr. T? There is a big world to explore but Nepal remains a very special memory of a spectacular landscape and beautiful people, and another trip would help to build another school. And if I went in March I would see the hillsides brilliant with colors of the rhododendron trees in bloom….
