I'd love to come, but I'm too young and my parents wouldn't let me go. Last but not least I'd have school

I remember reading in Rock climbing books about the forbidin Mustang in Nepal. The writen descriptions would have me craving to visit this sacred place. Your video is beautiful! Thank you so much for sharing your riding experience with rich colors and stunning mountain vistas.

Hey Mandil, I finally got around to watching the video, very nice. Dude it was great meeting up in Kathmandu and getting some riding in, you were a perfect host. I can't wait for my next trip up there to some more riding with you and the crew. I got some footage from our rides I will get up sometime soon, been sleeping since I have been back. For those 16 days in Nepal I kept saying I was going to take a day off, but I just couldn't. Until next time.

Awsome vid! I can't stop watching it. It's one of this place where you (and your bike to) feel very small.

Did anyone else love the fact that he could leave his bike unattended for more than 2 minutes and it was still there?

Welcome Home, by Radicalface. I've wanted to use this song for a while but I've been beaten to the punch.
