During the monsoon rains, many people die due to heavy flooding and landslides caused by the rains.

Water Buffalo are a plentiful site in Nepal, domesticated and used widely in agriculture or as work horses to cart goods.

Mountain Biking - we did plenty of riding in Nepal, makes a big difference without an 750cc motor between your legs! Take a closer look at Gary, as he makes his way up a step incline.
