Experiencing Nepal

Tom Woodell (pictured, right) recently traveled to Tibet, Nepal, and Bhutan and returned with fascinating photos and stories to tell. After navigating the crowded, noisy downtown area of Kathmandu, Tom reached the quieter ancient temple district where he was fortunate to meet and spend time with a Hindu sadhu (pictured, left). Sadhus are holy people who have renounced a worldly life to focus on spirituality instead. The sadhu did not speak English but welcomed Tom to sit with him with a kind hand gesture. A fellow traveler, impressed with Tom’s new friend, asked him if he was aware he was sitting with a holy man. It was an experience Tom will not forget.
