A Visit to Nepal

In the fall of 1994, I spent six weeks visiting Nepal. After exploring Kathmandu, I went to the Everest Region for a twenty day trek. There, I climbed two 18,000-foot hills, Kala Pattar and Gokyo Ri for views of Mt. Everest and its surroundings, and visited the Buddhist monastery at Tengboche. Then I went to Pokhara for a ten day trek to the Annapurna Base Camp and Poon Hill. I was accompanied on both treks by my guide, Lal Man Tamang, who was an excellent companion. Finally, I visited the Royal Chitwan National Park for some elephant rides and jungle walks among the rhinos, monkeys, and other wildlife. Nepal is a great and beautiful country with wonderful people, and I am sure I will return some day.
