I thought I’d seen it all after six months in Southeast Asia—tree rats, squat toilets, zipline-only treehouses, Komodo dragons, and monkeys with a taste for laundry detergent. Then I landed in Nepal, and everything changed. I’ve spent the last year traveling around Southeast Asia. Years ago, I promised myself that
