The Central Hashish Store, 1972

The Central Hashish Store, Kathmandu, Nepal 1972

Maureen, the soon to be wife of Tony Wheeler, emerging from the Central Hashish Store in Kathmandu.  Tony Wheeler writes, “Hashish was legal in Kathmandu in those days and the various hash shops had lurid calendars, business cards and slogans like ‘your oldest and favorite joint’. Maureen always says that she was emerging from changing some money in the Central Hashish Shop, since sometimes they were a front for moneychangers, which was illegal.”

At the end of this trip Tony Wheeler founded Lonely Planet travel guides.
