"You have to get lost before you can be found," Farewell to the Himalayas
I'm making slow but steady progress on my "last book" about the Himalayas. These are a few of the topics: "i) What does it feel like to get altitude sickness, and how can it be avoided on a Himalayan trek? j) Are Sherpas the best mountain climbers in the world; if so, why? k) What is a sadhu, why do yaks only live in the high Himalayas, and do yetis really roam the Himalayan Mountains? l) How in the hell can Nepalese porters carry such incredibly heavy loads in wicker baskets strapped to their heads, and what do they think about while they’re carrying those loads?"
