Wellness retreats in Nepal

While I was in Deurali I stayed a night in one of the little lodges. After having wolfed down a copious dal bhat (rice and lentils, the national dish of Nepal), when I walked out of the dining room I was surprised to see snow falling heavily. It a few minutes everything was covered in snow and the snow was so heavy that you couldn't see 5 metres ahead. The next day the snow had stopped falling and the mountains were completely covered in white, which made the trek even better as the softness of the snow made a good contrast with the sharp peaks which overlooked the trail. Without going so far as to think you are George Mallory off to base camp under the snow, it does make you feel a bit like a proper moutaineer, great for people who like sporty holidays!
