Pan-Himalayan view from Kathmandu

Here's an interesting blog post about the Pan Himalayan from a guy from - I think - Kathmandu in Nepal: http://semplate.blogspot.com/2006/07/pan-himalayan-railroad.html



He seems to think that the western presses concerns about how the railway could damage the Tibetan cultural landscape are foolish, and that the route is more likely to bring benefits than disadvantages to the region and perhaps on to Nepal.
