Bhutan, Nepal and Cambodia, 2013

We visited Bhutan, Nepal and Cambodia in October and November of 2013. In Bhutan, we did the Snowman Trek from Paro to Sephu, traversing over 200 miles of the Himalayas. Later we flew to Nepal to complete the Dhaulagiri Circuit near the Annapurna region. Finally we took a side trip from Bangkok to Siem Reap in Cambodia to see the temple complexes of Angkor Wat. For more details, visit our blog entries for October, November and December of 2013.
