| "Imagine a panorama of green
steep hills rising to rolling crests of glissading stone,
then far above them soaring peaks of sheer white ice,
and above these, towering over the earth and blocking
off the sky, great bastions of razor sharp glacier and
jagged black rock - these are the Himalayas, the Roof
of the World, and this is Nepal, the hidden, mystical
kingdom of peace, beauty, and serenity" |

| "Nature alone makes its one
of the most fascinating countries in Asia: a confusion
of mountains and hills, almost as if the Himalayas, in
an attempt to reach the heavens, had crumbled back down
to earth." |
- Guiseppe Tucci,
Journey to Mustang |
