Holy men and hash

Up the hill at Sarangot we came across a Dutch man sipping tea and smoking hash as he watched and waited...

We got talking and he told us how he had been living with holy men at the burial site along Holy River in Kathmandu. They had covered him in ashes and he spent his days smoking with them and communicating with the spirits until he realised they expected him to be a "sponsor" to make them into "baba's" with a mobile phone, or even "big baba's" with several or "big, big, baba's" with a laptop too!
