I enjoyed Fiona's story about returning to Nepal and visiting the village and people they became close to on a previous visit (A Beard In Nepal which I didn't read). I too was fortunate to experience many of these same events, having been fortunate to go to Nepal many times and reunite with close friends. Her description of village life and the wonderful people brought back many memories. Some criticized her (in a review of A Beard in Nepal) for talking too much about spiders, pollution and trash, and crazy drivers, but Nepal would not be Nepal without all of these things and her story would have had less meaning without then. That said, there are some gross inaccuracies in her story that are not only disappointing, they provide a false sense of where the village of Salle is located in relation to the Khumbu, or Everest Region. Numerous times throughout the book, she states that they are "high in the Everest Region", "High in the Himalayas", and "near Everest Basecamp", and unfortunately, this is not true. The Village of Salle is located in an area referred to and the 'hills' or 'midlands' in the Pahar Zone, and NOT in the Himalayas. Don't get me wrong, this is a rugged area of deep valleys and terraced ridged with rugged trails connecting villages. This area would qualify as mountains anywhere else; however, this area is not the high Himalayas, or even close to the Everest Region, or Everest Basecamp. Actually, The Village of Salle is over 60 miles (as the crow flies) from Everest Basecamp and it would take 10-14 days by trail to walk there. Fiona also refers to Jiri, the major village at the end of the road near Salle, as being the old Everest Basecamp, and unfortunately this is also not true. Early Climbing expeditions from the south to Everest and other mountains in the 1950-1960, originated from the east, in Darjeeling, India, and not from Jiri to the west. A few Trekkers start in Jiri on their trek to the Khumbu (Everest Region), and porters carrying supplies also start from here, but almost all, including climbers and expeditions, fly directly to Lukla and save 5-7 days of walking. I did enjoy the story, but sadly, the many inaccuracies painted a very false picture of the area within Nepal where these events took place.
A true life adventure with honest and earnest insights to human nature. While circumstances and conditions vary we are all grateful for human kindness and find friendships when enduring hardships together.
Not too impressed with the story. The first one was fantastic. If they had gone back to teach again, it would of been a different book with different expieriences. Instead, it was all about giving the children presents.
I love this book. It is probably in dire need of an editor to polish the language a bit, but that's probably part of what makes this book so great. It is authentic and raw, and you feel as if you are personally there. Many other travel books seem to go through a literary Telephone Game as they get revised draft after draft by different editors, and what you end up reading isn't what was originally written, and the story loses a little bit of their authenticity and soul in the process. This book is great, because it is just real and unfiltered, and sometimes a bit emotional (I love the section about Molly and her necklace). Definitely a good rainy day read, and who knows, perhaps it will either inspire you to get out of your comfort zone for a little bit or help others.
Fiona Roberts fans should rejoice, the eagerly awaited sequel to "A Beard in Nepal" is out!Our intrepid travelers once again load up their backpacks and hit the trail for the village of Salle, perched on the higher reaches of the Himalayas. But this time they are not carrying camping gear and multiple changes of clothes. Their backpacks are filled to the maximum weight allowance with school supplies and little presents for everyone in the village.Along with vivid descriptions of the scenery we get an update on the wonderful characters we met in the first volume, starting with Kalyani, guide extraordinaire and one of the most resourceful and can-do women I have ever read about.The description of the trek to see the house Kalyani and her husband are building in a remote hidden valley is hair raising and thrilling.Fiona is self-deprecating about her hiking abilities. She may whinge along the way, but she gets there on her own two feet, with maybe a hand or a well-timed push from the ever-patient Tod.Perhaps the most vivid scene is of the couple's arrival at the point where they have to start walking up to the village: women and children greet them with joy and lead the way up the mountainside, more and more villagers joining them as they go. The gifts are distributed and the ensuing joy and chaos is a pure delight.Sequels are a tricky thing to pull off, but Fiona does so with brio.Dare we hope for further adventures?
Having read and enjoyed the first 'Beard in Nepal' book, I was delighted to find this follow up book, with more interesting adventures and again written in that informal and very funny style. I love the way that Fiona is able to poke fun at herself. It was so interesting reading about the villagers' lives, culture and ways, so different from ours. Even though the couple were clearly deeply upset at times by the difference in the way animals are treated, Fiona still maintains a strong element of respect for the difference in culture. And I could hardly bear read about the extremely large spider!I enjoyed the book so much I bought copies for all my friends this Christmas - it's the kind of book that would appeal to most people.I heard through the grapevine that a third trip is planned this year, I really hope this is correct because I can't wait to read the next book!
