If big boss wakes up ...
All set. Flights reserved and agreed on trekking agency. We thought ...
While cancelling the other agencies we contacted, one of these agencies called in their CEO. Surprised and disappointed we didn't chose their company, he made us an other offer. Said he didn't want to let go on our expedition. Impressed and feeling honored, we just couldn't say 'no'. Asian Trek will lead us to the top of Himlung Himal!

Buying tickets ... the hard way
One meeting and 785 emails later, the 2 most important things are arranged: the Nepalese climbing organisation and the plane tickets. Not an easy job: trying to make a deal between 12 team members, a climbing organisation and an airline company concerning prices and dates.
It is not the mountain we conquer, but ourselves.
