In Nepal’s far west
Without porters or companions and
guided only by a simple map, John set out in 1983 to walk 500
miles across northwest Nepal. This talk, accompanied by local
and Western music, not only takes you through some remarkable
Himalayan scenery, but also gives an insight into Nepal’s
extraordinary variety of people – from retired Gurkha officers
who have travelled the world to Bhotia farmers who have never
left their own valley. A classic lecture from John’s early
travels. The trip was the subject of his first book, Into Thin Air: A Walk Across Nepal,
now out of print but available as a free download here.
“Yet another enthralling and beautifully presented talk. The children were really absorbed by it all.”
(Bedales Schools’ Preparatory School Dunhurst, Hampshire)
