Nepal, a trip back in time

by JeanCooke - last update: Sep 9, 2002

PLEASE VISIT MY TRAVELOGUES FOR MORE PICTURES AND STORIES OF THIS ADVENTURE OF A LIFETIME!!!

1998 returned us to Nepal and trekking the Everest area with a Thailand stopover. Jim, his brother Art and spouse Rita, along with my twin Joan and her two adult children, Nina and Jason went as a family group. Our previous trusted, humorous and faithful Nepali leader, K.P. Kafle, expertly guided our trek telling stories about Sherpa culture and ecosystems.

HIMALAYAS

Majestic, unearthly, wondrous, beautiful, spiritual, tranquil; these are just a few adjectives for the mountains of heaven, the roof of the world, the Himalayas.

The Everest area of Nepal, made famous of late in popular books and movies, is as stunningly beautiful as crown jewels on a Queen. Age is no barrier to trekking the Everest area where people in their 70's and 20's mingled in singles or groups for the chance to see the mountains of heaven. The ever present cohesive Japanese, all dressed in identical pink outfits, were easily identifiable along our trekking route.
