A mountain in Nepal towers above a monastery in the valley bottom - which itself is higher in elevation than most mountains in Canada. Clearwater residents Ken Matheson and Margot Venema travelled extensively in Nepal last fall, much of it on foot. The country is very welcoming and well set up for tourists, they say.
