Baba-ji, a hermit near Shivapuri peak, opened his home to us for a night as we hiked around Shivapuri National Forest for a few days.

The home of Baba-ji is very peaceful.

This is the other part of the hermitage and the yard beneath the porch pictured above.

• Kathmandu, September 2006
  

Jason Fults, whom Mike and I first met at the Dalai Lama temple in India, took this photo just before he left on his long journey around Southeast Asia.

The facade of the Sadbhawana Party Headquarters in Kathmandu. Sadbhawana is one of the seven powerful political parties in the Nepali Government, and their office was little more than a few rooms with mostly plastic furniture.

Jason and Mike with the student activist of the Sadbhawana Party. Jason, who is committed to grassroots and alternative political activism, became very excited when the students recounted the widespread protests of April, 2006.
