General Information

Namaste,

If you have never been to Nepal before, you're in for an amazing experience. Very little in Nepal resembles life in the outside world. This is a place of deep religious customs, the most radical topography on earth, and one of the least developed infrastructures in the world. Most of the population of Nepal are subsistence farmers, living many days walk from the nearest road. For many the only appreciable impact of the past five hundred years has been the introduction of pressure cookers, which have been scattered across the country to help reduce the deforestation. Even flying into Nepal is a unique experience. Aside from the spectacular mountain views, veteran air travelers will find themselves amused by the spectacle of clearing immigration at Kathmandu International airport. This is not Heathrow… A flight from Kathmandu to anywhere else in Nepal is more than worth the price just for the views it provides. Once you leave the Kathmandu valley there is little to remind you of the world you have left behind. It's a great place to escape to and learn from.
