Chasing Himalayan Dreams

Have you always yearned for adventures, or are you just looking for your next hike or adventure? Did you think that the Himalayas were only for mountaineers? Join Susan Jagannath as she chases down a forbidden track to view Kangchenjunga and Everest from Sandakphu on the Singalilla trail. This is one of the least known and most accessible trails in the Indian Himalayas, and it is doable for anyone with moderate fitness. Not just a guide book, but interspersed with stories of how she finally walked the trail she was forbidden to walk at 16.
