Nepal

Nepal has some unique city destinations including Kathmandu and Pokhara and offers the highest mountain peak, Mount Everett.  My most exciting time here was on the Himalayan mountain range in Begnas Tall.  There is a sign along the main road that reads, “Vedic Astrologer” and is home to a religious ascetic named Pushpa who is divinely connected.  He is a man of many talents and comes from a long family lineage.  Him and his family are the most welcoming people, and if you’re lucky, he may have a room available for travelers.  Just up the mountain is a Dhamma Meditation center that teaches the Goenka meditation system.  It is a meditation approach that is the pure form of Buddha’s teachings and a truly exciting technique.
