Sex, drugs, and rock and roll In the magic bus, they troll Searching for love, bliss, and spirituality In the land full of deities High all day on hashish and weed They plow tourism's seed Bewildering older golden times When Garden of Eden used to shine From the '60s to early '70s, the land of deities, Kathmandu had opened its arms for the Hippies.
The flower children, who were taken as a nuisance in the West, traveled thousands of miles, to reach an unknown land, with the hope that they would find answers to life, in the bewildering and mystical landscape. Cashing on their influx, a man from Baitadi, Devi Dutta Sharma built a whole empire of ganja and hashish in just six years, earning the name of 'Ganja Raja'. While, it's debatable, but what Sharma did back then, was risky and innovative, making him one of the earliest Nepali tourism entrepreneurs.
In this episode, we talk about how Sharma, a man with no connections, built an empire, attracting thousands of hippies through his shop, 'Eden Hashish Center', and hotel, 'Hotel Eden', his innovative advertising and business skills, what was Kathmandu during the '60s and the early '70s, and how consumption and sales of weed got criminalized in Nepal.
