Travelers' Tales, 1997 - Travel - 398 pages
Nepal is magical and mysterious, stirring the fantasies of travelers of every stripe -monks, mystics, hippies, and yuppies. It sits at the crossroads where Hindu India literally collided with Buddhist Tibet, producing a harmonious blend of cultures and traditions that remains maddeningly elusive but quintessontially Nepali. Nepal is renowned for its temples, shrines, and festivals. The spiritual seeker discovers that there are more gurus, sadhus, and rinpoches in Nepal than cereal brands in America. Some of the many notable authors you will find in Travelers' Tales Nepal include Peter Matthiessen, Jan Morris, Jimmy Carter, and Jeff Greenwald.
