       While walking the streets of Kathmandu, the Capital City of Nepal, you will walk past at least 20 temples in a radius of 5 miles. You shouldn't be surprised if you hear a temple bell ringing everywhere you go or religious chants playing during the morning hours. When you visit Nepal, it is impossible not to be immersed in the culture. Every part of the country is blasting with culture.             

3. FOR THE FOOD!

The momo's, the dal-bhat-tarkari (rice, lentils, veggie) combo, the traditional newari cuisines, just talking about these dishes makes me hungry. These dishes are a must try if you are on that side of the globe!

4. To Help The Country Rebuild

The economy of Nepal relies heavily on tourism. After the devastating earthquake of 2015, Nepal needs tourists more than ever before. Many people rely on tourists to put food on their tables. Though it has been more than two years since the earthquake, the people and the country are still recovering. If you spend your hard earned money there, you will not only provide a boost for the locals doing it tough; you’ll also provide revenue for the country to continue to rebuild.

1 USD is worth Rs. 104. If you have $30 to spend a day, you can live comfortably, if your budget is a little bit higher than that, then you may be able to live a lavish life. The people of Nepal are very friendly and welcoming, the country itself is calling for you. SO WHY WAIT? Pack your suitcases and head over there. I guarantee that every penny you spend there will be worth it, and the memories you make will be worth looking back to.
