Heaven is a myth
Nepal is real
Here you see a monastery
And there, you find a temple
A land of beauty
Where one goes to unwind
To sit and meditate
And de-stress their mind.
Roads may be narrow
But their hearts are quite big
Hair is so lustrous
They don’t need a wig
Houses are colourful
Orange, red and pink
The paths are steep and winding
But are a sure link..
The Nepalis are an industrious race
They are full of charm and grace
Very respectful when face to face
Though a bit laid back, in many ways..
Most people always respond with a smile
And are willing to go the extra mile
Their land is beautiful and serene
It’s truly worthy of being seen

mass tourism and pollution .
Lorenz – please write on mass tourism: I’d quite possibly back you all the way.
mass tourism yes- because that is their main source of income..
pollution - living in a place like mumbai, nepal feels like a breath of fresh air; you have to go to Delhi to know what pollution really is.
During a previous hospital stay (not my last) I, a public patient was popped into a private hospital, (not to go into the intricacies of the Australian health system, but the surgeon had pull).
The nursing staff were 99% Nepalese. Really caring sharing young women. I had a great time, or at least as great as one can have as a surgical patient. Did wonder, beyond my situation though, what made so many come halfway round the world…..
Nepalese are a basically hospitable race, and i have found more in the hospitality sector than in any other. the money that they earn is used to send back home, to construct their own small abode. some are in the valley, some on the hills, they are a hardy race who can climb peaks easily because of the terrain they are accustomed to [which we are not, and with our arthritis, avoid]
so yes - they are a caring and sharing race who will go the extra mile to ensure your comfort.
would you believe that the resort we stayed in gave us a farewell thank you cake, and sang for us, on the day we left. that I believe is true hospitality from the heart - we were definitely impressed
Nafisa - You've gone out of your way to respond. Thanks for that.
