Nepal is probably the most awesome place on Earth. The landscape
is at times humbling and terrifying and at other times moving in its quiet beauty. The people are warm and generous and the
towns and cities are intriguing medieval labyrinths. I celebrated Buddhist New Years in Bhaktapur and explored the Kathmandu
Valley in April 1998. Later, I hiked through the Annapurna mountain range for my first Himalayan trek. You must walk through
these mountains at least once in your life!
