To be honest at my current position I would choose to go on foot and all these amazing places and beautiful scenarios are sure a blessing to watch and like you said re living those moments like you used to do are indeed worth all the hassle.
In few places in your travel diary especially the MOUNTAINS they were amazing.I believe anybody would sure love to be there at least I would be :)
This will be some memories that anybody can cherish once the walk is over.
It does reminds that our nature is indeed amazing !
hmm.. they have them in the Himalayas, too
you're close to it aren't you?
you can go there, too :D
