When you have only two cents left in the world;  buy a bread with one and a lily with another" Chinese proverb It was a long time ago, many years ago, that I had come across this proverb.

( Just wanna check out photos?Scroll down to bottom n find my album's link in photobucket) Zigzagging through Nepal-India; alternating between Nepali Rupees and Indian; sweat drenching 90 degree uphill treks; bone chilling icy wind; Chauri Goth as top class hotels; loosing your way in snow clad Rhododendron forest ; loosing sense in snow white beauty of a pristine landscape- experience this all in an offseason visit of Sandakpur in Ilam district during winter!  The colors may not be as spring-vivid or the mountains not as autumn-clear, but you will witness something else entirely.
