We finally got to hike tigers nest, it was amazing! The whole time we were here at bhutan i wanted to get a chance to hike or trek in these beautiful himalayan mountains but hadnt got a chance! Maybe i could of in the middle of the night but of risked my health with yetis, wearwolfs, and wild dogs roaming the streets and mountains. It was a short hike but quite steep and some parts very tiring. The views were amazing and i made an effort to get as many pictures as i could and get pictures with some of my teamates to remember this great time we had together the whole two weeks. I tried to take my time because i was hiking in the himalayan mountains! and tried to take advantage of every moment! We stopped halfway up for some needed water and they offered us tea but we were way to hot even to think of tea. They say tigers nest was only built in one year but all the materials had to be carried up the small trail we took to get up. There is a cave in the middle of the building which took u to the other side of the cliff that the building itself is built on. Its a small passage that u enter by going down a ladder and then have to actually jump across a deep crevise to get to the other side where beautiful views of the valley and mountains await u. This jump was actually quite difficult and dangerous because ur landing was on rocks and it was not a straight jump. I was not expecting this rush of adreniline up here. I didnt even think about getting back when i first jumped because at first glance this seemed to be much harder than the jump, but a closer looked revealed a little divit on the rock face to put ur foot on as a step up. Going back down was much more enjoyable because i was able to concentrate more on the beauty and the funny conversations. This hike never fased coach boom cause he is a hard body and in the best shape of his life. We then got to have dinner outside by a bonfire back at our hotel which was real cool and relaxing. As this trip comes to an end here in Bhutan I look back in my thoughts, journal, and photos to try and relive all of the wonderful memories I have made with everyone on this trip. I have written 75 pages of jounaling in my journal so i would never forget any memory, event, talk, joke, and thought. I have learned a lot about myself and my future on this trip through these experiences. We have also built many relationships that will some day change the world I have no doubt. Only Thailand awaits us tomorrow and I am sad to say i will have to leave a few days early to catch the start of another adventure. Luckily Pynch will keep my company as we both travel back together. I will never be the same on this trip and my team members will make sure of this. See everyone soon!
