My journey into the country side of Nepal was beautiful and very interesting. Life in the high hills is very difficult. There is no gas for cooking, only wood, there is electricity now and running water outside the house. There are no cars, no roads, only paths. The family I stayed with was very poor, they own 2 water buffalo, 3 goats (there was 4 when I arrived) and 1 cow. Everyday the sister-in-law must go out and search for grass and leaves for them, twice a day. The more they are fed the more milk they will produce therefore making more income. She is gone for 2-3 hours each time and returns with her basket on her back, walking sometimes up to 8km for 1 trip.
