The Nepalese are a hardy bunch & became my favourite
people in my travels some 25 years back......i travelled
the road between Kathmandu & Pokhara,it's 8 hrs of
vertical drops into the abyss....spent the entire journey
on top of the bus.
My heart goes out to them......but i know how tough & scary
brave these people are.....which unfortunately is why the British
used them to fight the front lines in their wars.
They had literally nothing then,but were the friendliest people
i have ever met.................calves as thick as tree trunks
as everything had to be carried up & down those mountains
from water to literally...... tree trunks!
