| “Life is either a daring adventure or nothing”.
Helen Keller
“To
travel in remote areas of Nepal today offers much more than superb
mountain scenery. It provide an opportunity to step back in time
and meet people, who like our ancestors many centuries ago, lived
free of complications, social, economic and political, which beset
the developed countries. To the Nepal peasant, his live revolves
around his homestead, his fields and, above all his family and neighbors
in the little village perched high on a Himalayan mountainside.
Here we can see the meaning of community, free of the drive of competition.
We see human happiness despite – or because of – the
absence of amenities furnished by our modern civilization.
Change will come to Nepalese way of life, but it behooves travelers
from the modernized countries to understand and respect the values
and virtues of life today in rural Nepal. They have much to teach
us about how to live”. Lord Hunt
