There’s a nirvana for everyone

There’s a nirvana for everyone

I’m writing from the Nirvana Garden Hotel in Kathmandu. In Buddhist culture, “nirvana” means a state of bliss. I find it in the country’s mountains when I drink sublime teas in a protected landscape, often made up of jungle and neat rows of tea plants. The harmony between the experience of tasting and the contemplation of nature fills me with happiness. Tomorrow, I’m leaving for the Ilam valley in the east of the country, to visit farmers I already know, and meet some new ones.

    I’m happy to find you and your blog because you’re also tea traveler 🙂

    P.S. This photo must be taken around Monkey Temple?
