Travelogues
The stories are accompanied by spectacular photographs and describe unconventional sights. Here is what some of the critics thought: "Nakash is taking you to splendid armchair travels in various graceful corners of the world" wrote Isaac Levy in Ma'Ariv, the leading evening paper. "A World-embracing art of wildlife and colorful characters from exotic destinations" wrote Ilan Ytshhaik in Yediot Aharonot evening paper. "Efrat Nakash is traveling in the world with her camera and with the talent to focus on the most exciting things", described Asi Friedman in La'Isha magazine. Erez Erlichman described how "Efrat's photography stimulates all senses, and she uses it to convey both story and emotion", in Ynet "Click to the Nature" section. Danny Gaspar, a tour guide, calls me "The guru of Armchair Travel".
I tell my stories and show the sights both in English and in Hebrew. I adjust the length of the lecture and its content to your requirements. The travelogues are suitable for corporate events, schools, theme clubs, community centers, youth centers etc. In order to fit a travelogue to your specific event and audience, please contact me using the Keep in Touch link.Please feel free to circulate the above to anyone you think might be interested; all of them will be grateful to you.

A partial listing of presentations of incredible adventures follows:
Antarctica. No Mercy
Come on board for a breathtaking account of ice and wildlife at the end of the
world, illustrated by pictures and personal experiences, as compiled during two
months aboard a yacht which sailed between huge icebergs. An impassioned voyage
that began in the Falkland Islands, then through South Georgia Islands to Antarctica.
An encounter with the fragility of life and the immense powers of the elements. A
small mistake in Antarctica is, inevitably, a lethal error.
You are invited to view a sample presentation of photos which will be exhibited in the travelogue, in the following galleries: Falkland Islands, South Georgia Islands and Antarctica Peninsula. You may read about the fascinating adventures in the Antarctica without Mercy travel diary (in Hebrew).
The Charms of Laos. A Vanishing World
Open a window to stories which originated in warm and exciting encounters with
the hill tribes people, presented in pictures and personal experiences. The Lao
people maintain their clothing, their habits and their unique beliefs. Enjoy a
fascinating lecture about the friendly, nearly extinct people, who live a simple,
peaceful life in bamboo and timber villages. In addition, a tantalizing visit in
"The Gibbon Experience": life in the jungle's canopy, Tarzan style.
You are invited to view a sample presentation of photos which will be exhibited in the travelogue, in the Laos, The North gallery. You may read about the touching experiences in The Charms of Laos travel diary (in Hebrew).
The Himalayas Peaks. Within Arm's Reach
You are invited to share my adventurous treks to the Everest and the
Kangchenjunga in Nepal. The Everest, the highest mountain in the world (8,848 m),
and the Kangchenjunga, the third highest mountain in the world (8,586 m), both in the
Nepali Himalayas range, partially constitute the border with Tibet. An unforgettable
account of two treks, 28 days each, to the base camps of the Everest and to the
Kangchenjunga in Nepal. The Kangchenjunga trek is "off the beaten track".
The Everest trek is a commercial one, and is crowded with tourists. Both pass
through isolated villages, with nothing but winding trails leading to them. Stimulating
landscapes, exhilarating adventures, and content, welcoming people.
To sample the photos which will be presented in the travelogue, choose the following galleries: Nepal, Everest Trek and Nepal, Kangchenjunga Trek. You may read about the exciting adventures along the Everest trek in the Sheltered in the Himalayas travel diary; enjoy more adventures along the Kangchenjunga trek in The Kangchenjunga at a Touching Range travel diary (in Hebrew).
The Himalayan Fortress. The Tibetans' Refuge
Join me on an emotional, sweeping experience: the touching story of the
Tibetans both in exile and in Tibet, an illustrated account of personal experiences.
This is the yield of six months of a fascinating life among Tibetans: Four months of
volunteering work in Dharamsala, India, seat of the Tibetan in Exile government,
headed by The Dalai Lama, with a large community of refugees who fled from Tibet
under the oppressive Chinese regime. Life at the refugee reception center in
Katmandu, and the escape route across the Himalayas, to Tibet. Moving
encounters with Tibetans in their homeland, and stimulating voyages with pilgrims to
their Tibetan Buddhist sacred places.
You are invited to view a sample presentation of photos which will be exhibited in the travelogue, in the following galleries: India, Dharamsala, China, Tibet and China, Tibetan Culture. You may read about the inspiring adventures in the Sheltered in the Himalayas travel diary.
Maturity and Family Ceremonies. Devotion and Love
Enrich your family reunion with exciting stories and pictures I gathered during my trips across the globe. I watched animals looking after their young, and it looked so warm and human. Caring parents feeding their chicks; members of human and gorilla families carrying their babies about; children "primping" towards familial ceremonies; colorful costumes being worn for rites and ceremonies; Bar Mitzvah ceremonies in front of the Western Wall, Jerusalem; ceremonies of couples in the pact of matrimony and more.The lecture is particularly suitable for family occasions such as birthday parties, Bat Mitzvah or Bar Mitzvah.
The pictures that will be presented in the lecture were gleaned from various galleries in this website, and you are invited to peruse the Galleries and get an impression.
