In case you’ve ever wondered if you may have stumbled into the Nepalese jungle, my team and I have compiled a list of signs that you are indeed in the jungles of Nepal:
Your skin turns fire-engine red
You start hallucinating and think that the man up ahead next to the rice field is the Dali Lama
10+ people have informed you that you are sunburned
A lily pad turns into a four leaf clover
After showering, you can’t tell if you are toweling off the water or the sweat that has now formed
You take your shirt off and it still looks like you’re wearing a t-shirt because of your awesome farmer’s tan
Your clothes never really dry
You don’t care if you smell like b.o. or sweat anymore; you’ve just accepted that you do
Your skin is like a salt lick
You have no use for a sauna room; you have Nepal
Your sleeping pad has an outline of your body in sweat stains
You stick to your sleeping pad and pieces of paper
Having a spa day is using the hand pump and washing each other’s hair, followed by going inside while the mosquito incense burns
Your water bottle is never full
The breeze outside is considered your A/C
You have nightmares about being a fish caught in a net, only to wake up and realize that you’ve become entangled in the corner of your mosquito net
The sounds you hear outside at night remind you of the relaxation CDs your mom listens to when she sleeps
If you are experiencing or have ever experienced any of the above then you may be or have been in the Nepalese jungle. Our advice in this situation is to find a fan, hydrate and be on the lookout for wild elephants ![]()
