Episode 4: The First Day on the Trail: Health Concern

Anne Dorthe gets up multiple times during the night with a worrying health concern. During Jason and Anne Dorthe’s first 24 hours on the trail, they must face a difficult decision about Anne Dorthe’s illness. Should they keep going and risk it getting worse in a place where they will have no access to medical care, or avoid risk and turn around?  What options could you consider if you are about to start a trek and you get sick? Also, is it a good idea to bring gifts for villagers along your route? If so, what kinds of gifts are best to bring—or not bring—for them? Learn the answers to these questions and more as you walk along with Jason and Anne Dorthe on the first day of their hike.  Have you always dreamed of trekking? To access the ultimate resource for hiking adventures around the world and get our FREE gear guide, check out zerototravel.com/trekking.

Welcome to an audio adventure unlike anything you've ever heard. I’m Jason Moore, host of the top-rated Zero To Travel Podcast, and I invite you to come with my wife Anne Dorthe and me to visit the beautiful country of Nepal through this unique 16-part travel podcast series – the world’s first “audio guidary” (part audio guide and part diary). We’ll be your travel companions as you soak up the entire Himalayan mountain trekking experience, going from the bustling capital city of Kathmandu to remote Tibetan Buddhist monasteries and beyond. Along the way, you’ll discover Nepalese Culture, learn about her history, and meet her famous friendly people. Together we’ll step into the world’s tallest mountain range, sharing the flood of adrenaline and emotions from hiking along steep ledges and across Indiana Jones-like suspension bridges, through Tibetan Buddhist villages, and into warm, colorful monasteries where we’ll share energizing cups of warm Tibetan tea with the locals. Enjoy the sounds of the villages, the music, the spinning prayer wheels, and the gentle wisdom of our Nepalese guide, Samir, as he shares insightful and practical information for trekking in the Himalayan Mountains. Listen now to experience this one-of-a-kind audio adventure, and learn how to plan your own trek in Nepal. Don’t wait! Subscribe now to get access to the entire series.
