012: Trekking Nepal with Kids: Exploring the Himalayas as a Family

from Let's Go Outside | Adventurous Moms, Hiking, Camping, Travelling with Kids, Parenting Outside · host Danika Vanderpyl

Have you ever dreamed of hiking internationally with kids? What about trekking through the mountains of Nepal? I chat with Shannon, who is fresh off the Annapurna Circuit with her six-year-old twins. We talk about what it’s like to trek with her husband’s heart condition, managing -15°C nights in teahouses, how to avoid food poisoning on the trail, and the signs to watch for in case of altitude sickness. This was their family’s second hiking trip in Nepal—they did Everest Base Camp two years ago. Listen in for Shannon’s insights, inspiration, and practical advice!Places we talked about:Nepal Everest Base Camp Annapurna CircuitAnnapurna BasecampPokharaThailandPhilippinesConnect with Shannon: @restlesscrusade restlesscrusade.com------------------------------------------------------------------Join the FREE Facebook community: Connect with other women in your area to go exploring with, ask your gear and trip questions, search in FB groups Let’s Go Outside Podcast https://www.facebook.com/groups/1984734118616209/ Family Travel Gear Guide: Here’s all my favorite must-haves for internationally exploring with kids that I’ve discovered over the last 5 years. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IEqVfpGk-5uJ29uoiScoZXLPnTY4r311/view?usp=sharingTry Danika’s healthy snack recipes: https://besidethemountain.com/Connect with Danika on IG: @besidethemountain Watch on podcasts YouTube: @besidethemountainEmail me: [email protected]
