1 Tony had always wanted to explore the foothills of Himalayas. 2 So when he was offered an early retirement package by his firm, he decided to take advantage of the opportunity. 3 First he needed to get really fit, so he spent a month training in Lake District.

4 When he could run up Buttermere Fell without stopping, he considered he was ready. 5 He booked a trip with a well-known trekking company and flew out to the Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. 6 His group were planning to trek in Annapurna region, but unfortunately Nepalese were beginning to get worried about the amount of damage being done to their ancient mountains by the constant pummelling of climbers’ feet. 7 So they temporarily suspended permission for foreigners to climb or use the footpaths in the area. 8 Group leader was very apologetic, but he laid on rafting on River Trisuli and sightseeing in the capital. 9 After a few days, the authorities lifted their ban, and Tony was able to trek through some of world’s most beautiful scenery, with breathtaking views of the Mount Everest and Kanchenjunga. 10 At night, group were accommodated in the simple village rooms and ate with Nepalese. 11 Most of group were more experienced trekkers than Tony, and several of them had visited Himalayas before. 12 All in all, Tony reckoned it was most exciting experience he’d ever had, and vowed to return to the Nepal at very first opportunity.
