Over the course of the last twenty-five years, Tom O’Neill has traveled frequently to Kathmandu and the Helambu region of Nepal to undertake ethnographic fieldwork with the Yolmo business owners and carpet weavers of the area. The Heart of Helambu is an evocative and touching account of his experiences working in Nepal during those turbulent times. In his autoethnographic memoir, O’Neill reflects on the complex relationships he developed with his research participants: the carpet weavers, their families, and others in the communities which he studied. A compelling account of ethnographic fieldwork’s personal dimension and the ethical and emotional challenges that come with maintaining relationships across substantial social distances, The Heart of Helambu illustrates an important aspect of anthropological research through O’Neill’s engaging story.

All three books in 'Hearts Of Nepal', a series of adventure novels by Ronald Bagliere, now in one volume! On My Way To You: At a young age, John Patterson left behind his Colorado home for the adventure and isolation of the Himalayas. But after years spent building his reputation in the climbing circuit, his heroic rescue of an inexperienced climber on Everest results in the loss of his leg. Michelle Bonheur still blames herself for the car accident that killed her husband Adam two years ago. When her best friend Cam convinces her that the two should fulfill Adam's dream of hiking the Himalayas, Michelle reluctantly accepts. As John and Michelle's paths converge in Nepal, they navigate the winding mountain trails together and discover they're not alone in their grief, the guilt they carry, or their attraction to each other. When disaster strikes one morning on the Annapurna circuit, the two wounded souls find themselves in peril, and Michelle makes a decision that will change both of their lives. The Himalayan: Taken in by the Himalayan Sherpa as a child, Mountaineer Frank Kincaid grew up following the ways of the mountain people. When Sarah Madden came to Nepal in 2011, it was for her son’s expedition, which nearly took his life. Now, Sarah has become part of Frank's world. The lama in Khum Jung calls it destiny. But the lama doesn’t know his part to play in the death of Sarah’s husband twenty-five years ago, or his role in a recent accident on the Everest Icefall. With Sarah getting closer and closer to his heart, he finds himself at the crossroads. But can he come to terms with a fateful decision in his past, to find their future together? Out Of The Rubble: Inspired by real-life events, Ronald Bagliere's Out of the Rubble takes place in Kathmandu, Nepal, after the devastating earthquake of 2015. When Binod and Sila Thapa lose their children to human traffickers, Binod's friend Mick Hanson and his girlfriend come to their aid. But with the devastation of the city and the authorities overwhelmed from the quake, finding the children seems impossible. Binod and Sila walk the streets in a desperate attempt to get back their children. Meanwhile, their friends devise a plan of their own to save the children, and delve into the dark world of seedy orphanages and unscrupulous bondsmen. But where are the children, and can they find them before they are lost forever?

What does it mean to bring progress—schools, electricity, roads, running water—to paradise? Can our consumer culture and desire to “do good” really be good for a community that has survived contentedly for centuries without us? In October 2008, climbing expedition leader and attorney, Jeffrey Rasley, led a trek to a village in a remote valley in the Solu region of Nepal named Basa. His group of three adventurers was only the third group of white people ever seen in this village of subsistence farmers. What he found was a people thoroughly unaffected by Western consumer-culture values. They had no running water, electricity, or anything that moves on wheels. Each family lived in a beautiful, hand-chiseled stone house with a flower garden. Beyond what they already had, it seemed all they wanted was education for the children. He helped them finish a school building already in progress, and then they asked for help getting electricity to their village. Bringing Progress to Paradise describes Rasley’s transformation from adventurer to committed philanthropist. We are attracted to the simpler way of life in these communities, and we are changed by our experience of it. They are attracted to us, because we bring economic benefits. Bringing Progress to Paradise offers Rasley’s critical reflection on the tangled relationship between tourists and locals in “exotic” locales and the effect of Western values on some of the most remote locations on earth.
