In 1 hour, TripleED researchers Andrew, Jacob, and Susannah will board their flights headed west across the Pacific. Markus and Hari will follow in a couple days, and the entire team will meet in Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal.

In the last couple days the team has been madly preparing for departure, double-checking gear and making sure everything can fit in our expedition duffels. Check out this timelapse video of Andrew and Jacob’s packing process!
