Draped along the greatest
heights of the Himalaya, the kingdom of Nepal is a land
of sublime scenery, time-worn temples, and some of the
best walking trails on earth. It's a poor country, but
it is rich in scenic splendour and cultural treasures.
The kingdom has long exerted a pull on the Western imagination
and it's a difficult place to dislodge from your memory
once you return. This is why so many travellers are
drawn back to Nepal, armed the second time round with
a greater appreciation of its natural and cultural complexity,
a stout pair of walking boots and a desire for improved
leg-definition.
