WOW we do know how to pull others legs. I have no idea about the facts about his journey but he did provide inspiration to me at least .It was pretty good to see in the spread of WAVE magazine when i was going to school that this guy was traveling the world and if you dare its possible.knowing he single handedly with just the power of fund rising has been able to accomplish so much. He had a dream and he conqured it. He marketed Nepal to people who when asked about nepal sometimes ingorantly say "Is is a part of india??" This was his career and I wont say he did it for the country but he did something innovative but he did have a Nepali Flag waving in his byke whereever he went!! We still have a culture to put doctors and pilots and poets and politicians in high pedestal but someone as enduring as him is just another publicity seeking dirt? Why cant we just sit back and support people like him.
