Travellers Takeaway:

Nepal is the country of records. It has the highest mountain in the world, the most upper water lake in the world, the highest concentration of world heritage sites in the world and many more. 

Nepal is the only country which can change the way of life, cognitive behaviour and the methods of the spirituality of an individual. It also introduces you to the lone survivors, tough Sherpas and Gorkhas, which are the world’s known community for deadly survival. 

Never depend on weather forecast in Nepal. Himalayas climate and environment can change within a minute. Always carry plenty of warm clothes, money (cash- only) and GPS if you are planning to trek in base camp. However, most of the people trek to base camp only. 

Touching anything with feet in Nepal and Kathmandu, in particular, is considered as an offensive act and lousy behaviour as people are moreover devoted to the methods and spirituality of Hinduism. There is a famous quote about Nepal, which says, “when in Rome, be like Romans’ ‘same in Nepal, Do it like Nepalese”.  The real-time experience and travel blog is in the context of “Nepal Tourist Places: Best Places to Visit in Nepal“.
