"Nepal is there to change you, not for you to change it. Lose yourself in its essence. Make your footprints with care and awareness of the precarious balance around you. Nepal is not only a place on the map, but an experience, a way of life from which we all can learn." Stephen Bezruchka - A Guide to Trekking in Nepal.
