Washington, October 28 – Rocker Sting has donated his fee of a travel essay that he wrote for a Men’s Journal about his 2003 trip to Nepal to a Buddhist monk school.

According to TeenHollywood, Sting along with his son Jake and friend Simon Astaire enjoyed the hospitality of the Nepalese royal family.

Sting’s travel essay has detailed accounts of his struggle with altitude sickness, a rafting adventure in which he almost lost his finger, exciting helicopter rides and memorable meetings with young monks.

His as yet undisclosed fee for the travel essay will be donated in a kind gesture to the Gompa of Great Compassion Monastic School that is responsible for preserving the monastic tradition among Tibetan children in Nepal.
