“Reading gives us someplace to go when we have to stay where we are”. A Bibliophile would agree to every word here for they alone know the eternal joy of reading. It is true that money cannot buy happiness but it can buy books and to them, it is one and the same thing.
Reading, they say is the cheapest way to travel. In the prehistoric times, the nomads traveled in search of pasture. They documented their journeys by way of sketchy figures on the cave walls. Today travel has become a necessity for the millennial. For them to travel is to unwind and retain that sanity & sanctity of the mind.
With the advancement of technology that has hit the world in frenzy; accessing any part of the world has become unperturbed. But again, to look at the pictures of the world in a travel magazine is a feeling beyond comparison. Imagine for a second – opening a magazine, breathing in the aroma of those glossy pages and then diving head-first into those dreamy pictures and wonderfully crafted stories. For a Bibliophile, this is what the sweet nectar of heaven must taste like!

After my arrival in Kathmandu, I spent a night in the capital city. The next day on day 1, I took another flight to reach Lukla. Lukla is the start point of the trek where one must take a flight or a chopper, because otherwise it takes atleast 3 days to arrive here by road/hike.The 14-day trek to the Everest Base Camp.
