The Rough Guide to Nepal
INTRODUCTION

Nepal forms the very watershed of Asia. Landlocked between India and Tibet, it spans terrain from subtropical jungle to the icy Himalaya, and contains or shares eight of the world’s ten highest mountains. Its cultural landscape is every bit as diverse: a dozen major ethnic groups, speaking as many as fifty languages and dialects, coexist in this narrow, jumbled buffer state, while two of the world’s great religions, Hinduism and Buddhism, overlap and mingle with older tribal practices.

Yet it’s a testimony to Nepali tolerance and good humour that there’s no tradition of ethnic or religious strife. Unlike India, Nepal was never colonized, a fact which comes through in fierce national pride and other, more idiosyncratic ways. Founded on trans-Himalayan trade, the dense, medieval cities display unique pagoda-style architecture, not to mention an astounding flair for festivals and pageantry. Above all, though, Nepal is a nation of unaffected villages and terraced countryside – more than eighty percent of the population lives off the land – and whether you’re trekking, biking or bouncing around in packed buses, sampling this simple lifestyle is perhaps the greatest pleasure of all.

But it would be misleading to portray Nepal as a fabled Shangri-la. One of the world’s poorest countries, it suffers from many of the pangs and uncertainties of the developing world; development is coming in fits and starts, and not all of it is being shared equitably. Heavily reliant on its big-brother neighbours, Nepal was, until 1990, run by one of the last remaining absolute monarchies, a regime that combined China’s repressiveness and India’s bureaucracy in equal measure. It’s now a democracy, but a very precarious one. Political freedom has done little to improve the lot of the average family, while corruption and frequent changes of government have led to widespread disillusion and spawned an intractable Maoist insurgency.

Travel within Nepal isn’t straightforward or predictable. Certain tourist areas are highly developed, even overdeveloped, but facilities elsewhere are rudimentary; getting around is time-consuming and often uncomfortable. Nepalis are well used to shrugging off such inconveniences with the all-purpose phrase, Ke garne? (What to do?). Nepal is also a more fragile country than most – culturally as well as environmentally – so it’s necessary to be especially sensitive as a traveller.

Taste of Nepal (Hippocrene Cookbook Library)
The landlocked nation of Nepal, tucked into the Himalayan Mountains between India and Tibet, has a surprisingly diverse cuisine for such a small country. The main food is rice served with dal (lentils) and vegetables, but potato and noodle dishes are also common, and meat and fish (from the many rivers and lakes) are also served when available. The most comprehensive Nepalese cookbook on the market, “Taste of Nepal” includes over 350 authentic recipes, something for everyone, from the most timid cook (Fried Rice and Stir-fried Chicken) to adventurous home chefs (Goat Curry and Sun-dried Fish with Tomato Chutney). The instructions are clearly written and the ingredients are readily available in the United States. Also included are information on Nepalese kitchen equipment, traditional herbs and spices, menu planning, and proper dining etiquette.

Nepal Adventure

Adventure awaits those who take the path less traveled. Join two trekkers as they explore villages, mountains, and sacred places. bA Trek in the Helambu Region of the Langtang National Park/b My young friend Will received a grant to video the Boudhanath Stupa in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal. I jokingly said, ‘Want someone to carry your tripod?’ I, in my mid 60s, reflected on perhaps the last half century of my life, and decided…why not?! And so the adventure began. As part of our time in Nepal, Will scheduled a four-day trek in a not-so-well traveled section of the mountains. All in all, I took about 2,000 images while in Nepal, and what you are about to see is many of these images which have been digitally manipulated with special effects to create an entertaining and dynamic experience of our trek. Stow away in our backpacks meet the people, view the mountains, and visit the villages and sacred places.
