Nepal

Digitized slides, from a working vacation to Nepal in 1990. I was a guest of the King (now deposed by Marxist gov) we traveled in the Kumbu of the Himalayas for four weeks working with the locals on a Musk Deer Project. This little deer has a gland like a belly button that secrets musk. Highly valuable it is used in the perfume business. The deer live in the birch forsest below 14,000 feet in the Kumbu.
