Tourist hiker threatened by local in Nepal
Posted: Sep 20 2017 7:38 am
This kind of thing seems inevitable as more and more people travel to specific places to go hiking.
For local communities, the influx of visitors is probably a good thing ... economic benefits of selling a room for the night, food, and/or guide services... until it becomes a bad thing with too many people, who some opine are less respectful or well-behaved than visitors from yesteryear (#broculture?
)
Anyway, maybe don't try to haggle on the price of a $1.50 cup of tea in Nepal!

It's the best gopro hiking video I've seen this week!• Horror video shows Gemma Wilson and stepson Charlie being chased in Nepal
• Pair were hiking Annapurna Circuit when they were attacked by tea shop owner
• Gemma said woman hit her with wooden plank before throwing rocks at her
• Confrontation started after Gemma complained about the price of a cup of tea

Hmmm, we fought a war to get rid of the British and their tea....
