Nepal - Travel Video.  VHS.  Lonely Planet.  Traveller Ian Wright starts his journey in the bustling and expanding modern day capital of Nepal, Kathmandu.  He visits the most sacred Hindu temple in Nepal, Pashupatinath Temple and the home of the young princess goddess.

While in Kathmandu, Ian takes the opportunity to sample some Nepalese food, and has a night out Kathmandu style.  He then hitches south to the Royal Badia National Park where he goes looking for Bengal tigers with a local guide, astride an Indian Elephant.  Unfortunately the rare and reclusive tiger is not spotted that day by anybody.  Ian spends the evening in a small village nearby where he is introduced to some of the local families and witnesses a local celebration.

   From the Terai region Ian flies to the Lukla, in the eastern Himalayas.  Here he plans to make his way to the popular bazaar at Namche, before trekking along a section of the Everest highway.  At Pangboche monastery Ian also catches a glimpse of what is alleged to be a Yeti skull.  Avoiding the Yaks on the pathways, Ian continues his trek to Tengpoche Monastery where he witnesses a traditional Buddhist celebration.

   Ian joins up with a sherpa guide who has been up Everest twice, and can offer Ian some insight into the nature of trekking in the heights of the Himalayas.  Together they make a simple offering to the gods that are said to protect trekkers and climbers.

   On the last leg of his journey Ian flies to Humla.  This town is well off the trekkers track, and his four hour horse ride takes him even further into an area of Nepal seldom visited by tourists.  Ian's last night is spent at a local wedding celebration.  To Ian's surprise the wedding involves five grooms and one bride.  Ian enjoys the ensuing party, which involves a fair bit of barley wine.  55 minutes

Nepal: Land of the Gods - Travel Video.  VHS.  Mystic Fire Video

Journey to Nepal and explore the ancient cultures still thriving in the Himalayan kingdom - a unique mixture of Hinduism from India and Buddhism from Tibet.

  The film shows sacred art and religious rituals of the Nepalese; meditation training for young Tibetan monks; beliefs in local spirits, mountain gods and folk figures in daily Sherpa life in the Everest region.

  The narrative, written by Buddhist scholar John Reynolds, explains how lamas have taken over the shaman's role as psychic healer and guide of souls, and how Tantra is an essential part of daily life, harmonizing the relationship between man, woman, nature and a higher spiritual reality.  A film by Sheldon Rochlin, Mike Spera and Loren Standlee.
    60 minutes.  c2002

Exploring The Himalayas - Travel Video.  Questar Video.

Some of the most magnificent scenery on earth is featured in this travelogue, which takes the viewer to the northern Indian state of Kashmir as well as to the nation of Nepal. 
   Nestled in the Himalayas, these once forbidden lands are now accessible to travelers, though this video notes they "can be seen as a tourist, but to experience them, one must be an explorer."  The route followed by travelers in this tape takes them from the elaborate houseboats of Kashmir's Dal Lake to the ruggedly forbidding terrain at the base of Mount Everest. 
   Much of the itinerary, including grueling mountainous treks that can last for nine days, isn't for the faint of heart, not to mention those with an aversion to high altitudes.  But the stunning sights of the towering Himalayas and the instant immersion into both Hindu and Buddhist cultures encountered on the way make for a trip like no other on earth.
   Highlights of this video include a visit to a monastery where the Tibetan culture flourishes inside Nepal, and the sights in and around the unique city of Katmandu, where painted eyes of the Buddha look out from the towers of stupas.  This is an entertaining look at a remote part of the world as it opens its arms to Western tourists.--Robert J. McNamara.  60 minutes.
