How the Drug War Destroyed a Hippie Paradise in Kathmandu



was anyone here in Nepal when it was still legal?
I didn't make it till 75 ;-(

Last trip was end of Oct 2019 and i was still able to score

quality has gone down dramatically. Loads of junkies around. Many western hangovers selliing crap (cheating). When the hash hits the road its been cut with every possible dirt you may immagine. The only way to score the real mckoy is to go directly to the farmers.

great video

great doc about the trip

Oxford and Cambridge Land Rover "First Overland" Expedition 1955
london to Singapore
via Afghanistan, Nepal and the ledo road thru Burma

If they could do it in 1955 in 6 months with that kind of land-rover, i can do better in an old Lexus !!
Clutch, prepare the beers when i stop in front of Harrys !!
Cheers

Couple of guys drove Trabants here a few years ago from Europe.
My friend did London - India in a Morris Minor about 1970

Last time I was in Kathmandu tried to score in freak St. Went up on narrow alley with a dealer he shimmied up the wall to get his stash presumably and a couple of well dressed gentlemen entered the alley brushed past me dragged the guy down from the wall and proceeded to kick the shit out of him. I guess it was the local Drug Enforcement Agency. It seems a real hassle there now trying to score some good hash ,haggling with the ripp off merchant dealers . Much better idea to hike up to Langtang and make your own.
