Casper James Amos

Casper James Amos was a British Travel Writer from Marlow, Buckinghamshire who spent the last few years of his life travelling through Nepal and India. He was married with two children.

He is best known for inspiring the author Alan Macmillan Orr to help him write Three Men And A Goat, about his hilarious misadventure on his way to the world's largest animal sacrifice festival in Bariyapur, where people sacrifice hundreds of thousands of goats, buffalo, rats and even pigeons! Fortunately thanks to efforts by the British Actress Joana Lumley campaigning against it. Casper never met Miss Lumley, but the two would have surely been kindred spirits

He was last seen in Shey Phoskundo National Park in search of Paralasa Nepalica, the worlds highest flying butterfly and presumed dead despite countless searches.

By Kind permission of the family, his last works are available to buy, with all proceeds going to An Educational Charity in Nepal, the place he described as the most beautiful paradise in the world, with the kindest people he had ever encountered.

His faithful travelling companion Hari Ram Nepali (Hari the Taxi) is currently writing his own story about his travels with casper called "Confessions of A Kathmandu Taxi Driver"
