Nepal

Nepal started off as an adventure to meet up with one of Matt’s family friends who does land sculptures/Installations all over the world and whom happened to be finishing one in Jomsom in northern Nepal. However, after figuring out that it would take 3 days of travel just to get there and it was freezing, we opted out and just stuck with the Katmandu Valley.
It was a good choice because we got to see everything that Katmandu had to offer and also do a small little 2-day trek to a Tibetan Buddhist Monastery called Namo Buddha. The trek to Namo Buddha was good because it wasn’t too strenuous but allowed us to see some small Nepalese villages and get a brief feeling of the country life during our time in Nepal. We also got to sleep at the Monastery and eat all of our meals with the monks in the mess hall, a very cool experience, although no shortage of dough in that place. Every meal that we ate had some sort of large dough with it and it did wonders for the stomach situation!
All in all we had a short 6 days in Nepal but it was a great time and definitely left me wanting to see more and with some luck someday I’ll be back.
