NEPAL

I lived in Nepal from November 1999 through April 2000. The images below are from that time and place in no particular order.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME WHAT THE HELL THIS IS??? This is the inside of a sealed temple in Pashupatinath that has what looks like 4 mummified Sadhus in it. The energy emanating from this place is strong and has an alien feel. The picture was taken through the open window through the grates.

The great stupa. When you live in Boudhanath it seems that your whole life revolves around this thing. Truly one of the Earths great Power spots.

Couple shots of Barche, Amdo, and I drinking Tong-ba at the Double Dorje. Next to the Stupa the Double Dorje is perhaps the most important location in Boudhanath. For those that havent had the pleasure Tong-ba is fermented millet in a cup with hot water poured in. The water turn alcoholic from the millet and you drink it through a metal straw the is clamped at the end so that no millet gets through. You can refill the cup with water 5 or 6 times. All this for just 40rs!
