Hi Chris,

Pc friends of our have just been to Nepal.  Here's some probably inaccurate
third hand info.  They visited with Badri (a lovely man!!!), but he was
very busy.  Then they stayed a short time with the INSAN place near
Chitwan.. they had a good time and were treated well, but had some
difficulties with the culture (the boss man was very obliging but didn't
really know how to take their requests to do work... the boss men don't
work, nor do their guests).  There is a fee to stay... more than your usual
hostel and I think guests don't usually work as well).   Sorry I'd hope
they may have been able to tell their story.. but it hasn't worked out.

Anyway good luck over there... have fun.
