It's very appealing, except for a full-on raging civil war, pitting Maoist rebels and a Monarchist government. Throw in previous incidents of bus-bombing, tourist detainings, Regicidal patricide, matricide and suicide, and explusions of foreign reporters. All this suggests a later tour date. So, we're most likely not going to Nepal. Oh well....

Indian Pilgrimage: Nepal is no-go
Sailu asked me yesterday if I wanted to go to Nepal. Since we'll already be in the Eastern edge of Uttaranchal State, bordering Nepal, it shouldn't be too far to hop on a bus and cross over the Nepal and Kathmandu, the capital. Nepal isholds the geographic birthplace of the historic Buddha, and supposedly the country is full of interesting expressions of Buddhism.
