In Nepal charm hangs in the air. Just like the notes of tinkling bells, just like the fair mist, just like the mumbled chant, quite like the incense smoke. In Nepal some of them saw planes flying over and landing in their fallow fields before they saw a truck rumble by. When you scale the world's tallest mountain, if you do, it'll take a fair bit of reckoning to find out whether you went up 8850 metres or just 8848. The jury's still out on that one! 

Sturdy nimble footed porters still carry loads heavier than themselves across miles of slippery hills as they guide tourists to the summit of their aspirations; there are places which you either trek to or take the helicopter, no in-betweens; the capital of this country that has no automobile industry to speak of is daily in the throes of a traffic jam. Quirky things happen here like they don’t elsewhere!
