On April 22, 2010, a 23-year old American hiker, Aubrey Sacco, was last seen on a narrow mountain trail in northern Nepal’s Langtang National Park, a landscape of silent peaks, rushing rivers, and ancient forests.
She was experienced, prepared, and confident - a traveler who had already spent months exploring South Asia, teaching yoga, walking markets and monasteries, 
making plans to return home with stories of the world’s beauty.  But on that late-spring afternoon, she didn’t arrive at her next stop, just a couple hours down the trail from where she was last seen.
There was no body, no sign of a fall, no gear left behind, no distress call. 
Nothing. She shouldn’t have vanished.
Over the years, arrests were even made - then released.  Leads appeared… then evaporated.  An earthquake in 2015 would forever alter the very valley she disappeared in, burying landscape and possibility alike. So what really happened to Aubrey Sacco - a woman on a walk through the woods, with everything to live for and so much life left unwritten?
Listen as we dive into Nepal, the case of Aubrey Sacco, and how to stay alive on vacation.
