I just returned from Nepal! Before you ask, the answer is no – I didn’t see Mount Everest on this trip. Instead, I was visiting a different region of the Himalayas to do the Annapurna Circuit Trek. This trek maxes out at 17,770 feet, slightly higher than Everest Base Camp and sometimes considered the world’s highest trekking pass (but still nowhere near the summit of Annapurna I, which reaches 26,545 feet). I want to emphasize that I did NOT try to summit Annapurna, which would most definitely be the last thing I ever attempted on this earth, as it is considered the deadliest mountain on Earth to climb.
