498 Susan Jagannath – Himalayan Adventures: Fulfilling a 40-year Dream
Table of Contents
Today’s Topic
I’m excited to invite this week’s guest back on the show! Susan is an online friend of mine, and she’s been on the show twice before to talk about her adventures. First, we discussed the Valley of Flowers and then the Camino Inglés. Now she’s back to talk about a 40-year dream she had that she finally fulfilled.
One of the things I love about Susan’s adventures is that she talks and writes about lesser-known places and routes, so I get to learn about new places. I hope you find this episode inspiring! Susan is a great example of someone who dreamt of a very specific adventure, and made it happen.

More about this episode
Are you someone who enjoys mountain trekking and exploring new cultures in the process? If so, you’ll want to tune in to this one. In this episode, we’ll take you on a trek from Dothre to Sandakphu in India and Nepal. You’ll learn the best way to experience the mountains and different cultures by walking in areas like Sandakphu or the lower parts of Nepal.
The episode highlights the beauty of nature and details the best time to visit Darjeeling and Sandakphu. It’s important to stay in local villages and hire locals for support as it helps support local livelihoods and gives back to the community. Susan recommends spending the money to support the places you love and want to see rather than trying to do a budget trip.
This episode is for anyone who loves adventure, nature, and exploring new cultures. It highlights the beauty of the Sandakfu trek and the importance of preserving the ecological and cultural aspects of the area. Tune in to learn more about this beautiful part of the world and how you can plan your next adventure!
About Susan Jagannath
Susan Jagannath successfully combined a passion for reading, a love of writing and a fascination for technology, to create a career in technical writing. With over 60 technical manuals (not) to her name, she finally decided to use her writing and publishing skills for herself and publish her own books independently.
To her mild surprise, her very niche books went bestseller regularly, that’s when she realised she had a system that could help others write and publish as well.
As an army brat and then military wife, her life included seven different schools, three universities and a couple of emergency evacuations from conflict zones. Travel and adventure were normal parts of life.
She now believes in seizing every opportunity to have a new adventure, especially post-pandemic.
Whether it’s camping on the beach in Australia, trekking in the Himalayas, kayaking in Queensland, whitewater rafting down the Ganges, or walking the Camino in Spain, her philosophy is to pack it into one or two weeks to create memories for a lifetime, (and disconnect from television and computer games).
Susan is now on the next adventure of her life, traveling post-pandemic, helping corporate escapees write their first bestseller, and learning to be an awesome grandmother.
