Gokyo Dreams: Love and Heartache in the Himalayas

By Chris L. Nowland

"You did what? You quit your job?" My dear friend Jerry was in shock. I told him of my "Gokyo Dreams" that I had had since I was a youth, of hiking into the Himalayas with a beautiful Sherpa girl, riding the storm out in an arctic landscape with the tent flaps whipping in the fierce wind. In the dream, we have no fear during the storm. We have each other for warmth and strength. I hold her in my arms and know only peace, that I have found my place in the universe. Together, I know we can overcome any obstacle - that we can climb any mountain - that all things are possible. This ideology, this dream sequence had never left me through the years. Jerry was unconvinced of my plans and stubbornly withheld his approval. "Sometimes dreams should remain just that -- dreams," he portended ominously. This is the story of what happens when fantasy meets reality in the harsh environment of the Himalayas. It is a true story of love, heartache and adventure at the far ends of the earth.
