Tommy Papatango
It all starts with trekking. We need to trek to our mountain dropzones (skydiving landing areas) in order for our bodies to aclimatize. For some of the skydivers joining us for the boogie events this will be their first exposure to mountain trekking. Having a comfortable and enjoyable experience during the trek is essential to fully enjoy the extraordinary skydiving activities.
The journey (to the dropzone) is as rewarding as our final destination (the dropzone).
In between our tandem operation in Pokhara and our upcoming scouting of the “Everest Base Camp Trek”, where the Buddha Boogie would take place, we put our gear, trekking skills and team to the test on the Annapurna Base Camp Trek.
Buddha Boogie organizer Chris, Tommy and Manish have enjoyed multiple trekking experience in Nepal and around the world during their travels.
