LAZAROW WORLD HIKE-ABOUT

Grandeur Peak, 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.

70.28 Nepal: A hike to Methlang, onto Sedi, and back home...loved the coloring.

The blossom-trees have something that touches the spot within us.
Not too bad either. Nature sure has a way of creating beauty.
"So how's the shape? Do you think I should trim a little?" 
'Are we talking of the flowers or something more personal?' 
There's a beautiful shape as the lake edges inland.
Across the lake at the mountain top is the hotel complex we pass on the way to Buddha Park. (See earlier blogs.)
The flora are gorgeous.
Lords Shiva and Buddha take it easy at the Rock Garden.
After elevation of over 2,000 feet, we arrive at one of our favorite places. It's where we stop for breakfast and meet our young (very) friends. Even to enter the premises one has to climb steeply. The first hut is where 'non-family' members have to put down a deposit. (Refer to an earlier story.) Roshni senior (20), Roshni junior (19) and Denys work at the restaurant, a truly lovely trio of friends. Lately, when Roshni senior is on duty, soon after we enter, the music changes from what was playing to classical instrumental music that is truly beautiful. Thank you, Roshni.
At the top, you can see the 'hand that feeds' us.
Upon continuing further on, heading down to close a loop, we turn around and view the restaurant...the arm and hand are prominent.
Look, Buddy, we've been standing on two legs all our lives.
Frankly, we'd suggest you select a much softer tissue paper to complete your ablutions. Just saying... 
  Back to business. Jen climbs a rocky area.
At the blue house ahead, we'll leave the road and walk back into the forest. In front of us is Sarangkot Tower, a destination reached the previous week. This will be an easier hike.
Another perspective from deep in the jungle.
Jen continues down after I took us on the wrong route when we came to a fork in the path. Win some, lose some.
A frequent, beautiful sight. The blue building on the lower mountain is on our route in one of the approaches to Sarangkot.
Cheers, 

Jenni and Jeffrey

Goodnight.
And top of the morning to you...after a snow fall the previous evening. (Note the two hotels below the 'big mountains'.)
