"People from the United States and Canada have everything that money can buy and yet they still want something. That you can't buy with money." – Chundak Tenzing of Walangchung Gola
Over the 20 years that I have been associated with Nepal, "poor" is a word that has crept into the Nepalis' vocabulary as they have become more aware of the great gulf that separates them from the "haves". But the self-respect of the hill and mountain peasant continues to hold, and that may be Nepal's greatest wealth.
What is there for a person who has trekked in one of the regular routes in Nepal and wants to return again and again?
First, I say, try the monsoon. For the moment, trekking during the rainy season has remained a closely guarded secret of a select few "Nepalophiles". But others should take up this eccentricity, especially because the timing corresponds with the summer holidays in the West.
