I happened to meet Udhav, a Nepali teacher at a meditation center in Kathmandu in 1995. He was a simple and cheerful man who lived in Dolakha in the middle eastern Nepal. He is the frist Nepali friend that I have made in Nepal. Dolakha and its neighboring village, Charikot were the ancient trading towns which had flourished trans-Himalayan trade for long.
I have been to Dolakha and Charikot several times. We used to go to a hill near the site of old Dolakha palace to relax, meditate, dance and shout, looking down the spectacular and breathless scenery of Rorwaling valley and the magnificent Mt. Gaurishankar.
