Off the Beaten Path (2015) : 7x9

Nepal is an Asian country bordering India to the southeast and west, and the Tibet Autonomous Region of China to the north. Its natural boundary is formed by the Himalayas, home to eight of the world’s ten highest mountains, including Mount Everest. The Himalayas are the country’s greatest attraction for visitors, and tourism represents one of Nepal’s main sources of income. The official language is Nepali, a blend of Sanskrit and indigenous languages. The capital city, Kathmandu, lies at an altitude of 1,400 meters above sea level beneath the majestic Himalayas. The city itself is home to approximately 900,000 people, while nearly three million live in the greater metropolitan area. It was precisely these extraordinary people and breathtaking mountains that drew Dorota from Slovakia to Nepal. Dorota first came to Nepal in 2006, and it was love at first sight.
