LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Clayton Via Brighton, one autumn in Utah .

'LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT: WHAT IN THE WORLD IS HIKE-ABOUT?'

Hike-about is an adventure that commenced June 2010. After storing our household movables, ridding ourselves of a house but retaining our 'home' together, we set off with the purpose of hiking in different parts of the world, not forgetting the home country, the USA.

Our primary focus is hiking to mountain peaks but any challenging hike will do just fine. Extended stays enable us to enjoy and experience living in various places amongst differing cultures. Hike-about has evolved into a way of life. It's also a process of discovery, both the world and ourselves.

We work and live 'on the road' but return to the city in which our grandchildren reside, every three, or slightly less, months. This provides us the wonderful opportunity to be with them as well as a child or two, even three and of course, friends.

By the end of 2025, the blog contained over 1,800 hikes (far less than actually undertaken), each a set of pictures with stories and anecdotes from the trails. An index to the right allows the viewer to identify earlier experiences.

Finally, we are often asked about the journey's end.
O
ur reply, as accurate as we can state, is: "When we are either forced to cease through health issues or the enjoyment level no longer reaches our aspirations, we will hang up the boots."

"A Life Experience As No Other: Dare to Seize the Day Together", published by Fulton Books, depicts our life on the road and mountains until the beginning of 2017. It has developed 'exponentially' since then.

70.26 Nepal: Rupakot Resort, reaching over 3,000 feet (part 2), with video.

  This is part-2 of the second climb and return from the luxury resort of Rupakot. It's in a beautiful position atop a mountain and surrounded by very little but the natural elements. While we love the climb and return, staying there is a little outside what one expects from Nepal. To be plain, we prefer the ordinary life rather than luxury. It somehow does not fit with the culture of the country.

  Actually, after completing this intense climb, any relaxation following such an experience can be considered luxury. To paraphrase Jen's sentiments, the effort expended each day on trails and the adventure in general, have proved to be a daily blessing. 

As we commence, the sun has not influenced life at ground level, yet.
Walking down a steep mile to reach the bridge in order that we can reverse our direction upwards. Nature is not always considerate.
Machupachare is ghost-like in the distance. Not a bad sight to view each day.
Part of the Annapurna also in view.
More mountain but the bridge in view providing perspective.
We reach a position at which we are able to view Begnas Lake.
Jen just crossed the bridge on return and climbing steeply, for a change. Rupakot Resort sits on the mountain at rear.

A good perspective of the bridge across Rupakot Lake.

From the patio of the resort, we view both lakes, Rupakot (left) and Begnas.

Below is a video of some of the highlights, including Jen's partial path to the peak. It was a wonderful experience, yet again, as we changed direction and did something different from the previous occasion.
