In Nepal's embrace,

where mountains loom tall,

A circuit awaits,

for those who heed the call.

Through forests dense and gorges deep,

Where the eighth giant's secrets silently keep.

Accessible by road,

yet remote in its core,

Tea houses offer respite,

for tired limbs sore.

At Larkya La's pass,

where skies enthrall,

Guess this trek's name,

for adventurers all.

In rugged heights where snowflakes play,

But sheen of blue in sunlight's beam.

Who am I, in these heights so steep?

A nimble master,

where the skies meet the deep.

Snow Leopard

Bharal

Pashmina Goat
