Welcome to our blog series dedicated to exploring the charming land of Nepal! Nestled in the majestic Himalayas, Nepal is a destination that enchants travellers with its vibrant culture, rich history, and breathtaking natural beauty. This country holds a special place in our hearts—not only because it was the first stop after we decided to leave our full-time jobs in London to travel the world, but also because of the wonderful people we encountered during our journey here. The Nepalese people are among the kindest and most genuinely welcoming we’ve ever met, leaving us wishing we had more than just fifteen days to spend in this incredible place. Nevertheless, during our time here, we uncovered some amazing experiences and stories that we’re excited to share with all of you.
