Tuesday Tune-In Episode 199: When the weather gods strike!
In Episode 199, Andy & Dave delve into the recent unprecedented weather & rain in Nepal during the start of the autumn trekking season. The guys go into the challenges of running trips during these crazy weather events and the good, the bad and the ugly of delays in the mountains. There were some really sad scenes in Kathmandu and many homes and villages were destroyed by this crazy amount of rain within a short space of time. It certainly put things into perspective when running trips in remote regions of the world and the guys chat about what happens when these events occur from an expedition management point of view but also how as a trekker or climber, ways you can get through this too. It was a great live with lots of good questions and I hope you enjoy this week's episode.

In Episode 197, we're celebrating 8 incredible years of EverTrek adventures! It's been an amazing journey since we first started, and we took some time to reflect on how it all began, with our very first trip to Everest Base Camp in September 2016. That trek was the start of something special, and in this weeks episode we talk about the first journey, the most recent and more or less everything in between! A huge part of what makes EverTrek so special is our EverTrekker community. We've been so lucky to learn so much from those who've joined us on treks over the years, and it's that community spirit that continues to shape how we approach every adventure. We couldn't be more grateful for the camaraderie, insights, and friendships we've built through our trips.
