PREMISE
It's the story, not the teller.
Stephen King
This story does not pretend to be useful to those who may decide to go to the Langtang Valley, there is no shortage of useful information on the web. This story does however pretend to be original, not the usual flood of fish-eye videos from GoPros and action cams, not the chattering chatter of those who film themselves with their arms outstretched against the white backdrops of the Himalayan peaks and Tibetan suspension bridges, not the worn-out egotism of those who, while taking a photo of Everest saying how beautiful it is, actually take a photo saying how beautiful their own belly button is.
