With only limited TV and newspaper access, Raj became interested in soccer. After much success, he then started working in a travel company, in order to connect better with the outside world. Throught this, he fell in love with shepharding people, &amp;nbsp;as a guide, which is why Raj has been doing it for 35 years! 06:12: Nepal's ups and downs offer a transformative wellness experience. Hiking and beautiful scenery provide exercise and stress relief. Perspective on happiness gained from seeing those with less. 10:45: Base camp experience is unique and must be personally experienced to understand its true nature.
