Kathmandu Durbar Square

Nepal may not be the typical holiday destination. It can be challenging and confronting, demanding and frustrating, but it is certainly fascinating and unique. Life in Nepal is simply simple. There are no five star resorts, endless white beaches and palm trees, not much city entertainment, neither fancy restaurants. In fact you have to be careful what you eat and what you drink, how you drive and where you go. Some will even say that if you don’t do trekking there is not much else to do in Nepal. Well, I will try to prove them wrong.

There are so many unique places to see, traditions to become familiar with and stories behind each corner. Nepali people are welcoming and helpful and the place itself is like a living museum surrounded by stunning wonders of nature.
