I had a talk about at the hospitable Sklep Podróżnika bookshop in last Wednesday evening. I'm glad that so many people are interested in the country and were willing to spend the time listening to me and watching my photographs – thank you!

I talked generally about different treks I did, but I also mentioned places that might be interesting for those who do not trek or want to do some sightseeing after their hikes. Nepal has so much to offer!

My Dear Nepali Friends,

With deep sadness, I was catching the news on Monday and yesterday about the violence during the protests and about the victims. With hope, I read messages today, reporting peoples’ engagement in putting order and peace. So many times I have seen your impressive ability to build anew after calamities and misery and I believe your strength and capability to work for the common goals, will let you build a better and stronger home quickly.

On the trail in Beskidy with my eight-years-old daughter

We were on the way for 15 days covering 120 km with 5000 m of total ascent & the same of descent. Following the trail we picked & ate a few thousand of blueberries and some wild blackberries & raspberries. Saw the sunset, the moonrise and shooting stars. People – simply passed & greeted and those who were met and will be remembered.

And above all, traces of all what happened were deeply inscribed in ourselves & will stay with us forever.

Sorry! No image description created.

A pair of relatively big birds sitting in the deep green grass, on the edge of a cliff. There is dark blue water below them with another bird flying, not really in focus. The sitting birds are generally white, have long bills, and blue eyes contrasting with slightly yellow heads. It seems they were photographed from a short distance.
