Intrepid Journeys - Nepal (Steve Price)

If this is the easy part of this trek, I'm in big trouble.

It is a lifestyle and a community that is quite medieval. Everything is cut by hand, and it's gathered together and it's wrapped with barley and wheat — not by rope. It's stacked on a donkey and once it's in town then they separate the head of the wheat, and they allow the dust to be blown away...by nature. It's just...it's incredible.

They look like a dinosaur cow...an ice age mammal. I wouldn't like to be in the road of one.

These guys are almost carrying their weight on their back, and not once do they whinge, not once do they stop...

– Steve Price is in awe of the Nepalese professional baggage carriers

I've really enjoyed this trip but when I can see the finish line all I want to do is get there, and that's where I'm at right now. I'm past halftime, I've had my rest. Now it's the second half: it's money time.

– Steve Price reverts to a rugby mindset on the way back to Jomsum, late in this episode

I don't think I could have done anything in New Zealand that could have prepared me for a day like today.
