Kingdom of Nepal

asia_map.gifAfter spending the last few months in Malaysia and Thailand it was time for me to get back to one of my most favorite countries in the world. When I first visited Nepal 2 years ago I only planned on using Nepal as a way to get from Tibet (China) to India. From the first minute I stepped foot into the Kingdom on Nepal I instantly fell in love with this place. Nepal has some of the most beautiful landscapes that I have ever seen… raging rivers slice through lush green mountains dotted with huts connected by vine rope bridges. Nepal is home to the world’s tallest mountain (Mt. Everest) well actually Nepal shares Mt. Everest with its friendly neighbor China. Nepal also has some of the best white rafting in the world (which I cant wait to do!) and for the most part Nepal is just an amazing place to visit and take part in all the colorful yet bazaar traditional Nepalese festivals. I am arriving at the prefect time, as this is the main season for festivals in Nepal. When I was here 2 years ago I met a young girl on a bus, she was just finishing up high school and was telling me that she had dreams to become a doctor. When I left she asked when I would come back to visit her… I told her get into medical school and I will come visit. Well she has now finished her first year of medical school… so I guess this is me keeping my promise. So it will be nice to meet up with her and see how she is doing. Also I will be meeting up with Brian, he was one of the guys that was part of the driving around the world expedition I was on. So that’s it for now… I hope your all doing well.
