From there, they continued through the lowland areas of Nepal, where they had to keep an eye out for tigers, elephants and rhinos.
They made it to Pokhara where they began the Annapurna Circuit – but that was when Olly broke his collarbone.
“My mum was flying out to meet me in Pokhara that day and ended up spending five days with me in hospital,” he said.
The pair had been hoping to do some trekking in the mountains, but Olly’s injury meant that was no longer possible.
Instead, they did some smaller treks before his mother returned home.
Olly flew on to Bangkok on 1 December to reunite with Ellie, and the couple have since travelled through northern Thailand, Laos and Cambodia.
“It feels great to look back on how far I’ve come, we had a good time despite what happened,” he said.
“If something’s happened that you can’t change, being in a bad mood isn’t going to make it better it’s only going to worsen your experience so I try and make something good out of it.
“Breaking my collarbone wasn’t ideal, but it made for an eventful end to the trip and it probably happened at the best spot in the journey.”
