The trail below Ama Dablam: a trek where the air grows thin and your thoughts grow simple. This place does not speed up, it slows you down. On the first day you still check your phone. By the third you no longer remember where you left it.

This report is a condensed version of thirteen days. The rest stayed out on the route, and that is where it will stay.

Act I · Nepal

A place that
does not shout

A silence you cannot record. You have to go there.

Nepal · day one

You come back different. Not better, not worse, simply different.
