Slaughtering a cow earns a two year prison sentence. Electricity cuts off every evening for about 4 hours. Welcome to Nepal and her largest city, Kathmandu.
Nepal made its way onto my destination list four years ago and a rush of anticipation and excitement took over my countenance as my Thai Airways lifted out of Bangkok. The next two months will stand out in my lifetime and tomorrow I begin a three+ week high altitude trek called the Annapurna Circuit. Though I'll stay in local villages each night and don't have to pack any food, my endurance will be put to the test as this may become a three week warm-up before attempting the Mount Everest Base Camp trek. No, I'm not going to try and summit Everest (which costs about $70,000 through a respectable agency).
