Tourist Giving Guidelines in Nepal | Nepal Tourism | Must Visit

Image
Here are a few guidelines to know how much to pay: Village Home-stay: When you get here you will be invited to countless villages to stay with your new, Nepali friends. It sounds inviting, but how much to pay? Your new friend will likely tell you it is completely up to you. It is important that you find out in advance how much he expects from you. You can ask how much the last person paid then explain to him how much your daily budget is. “My budget is up to 1,500 NRs. per day,” you can explain. “If I go to your village and pay 300 NRs. for the bus fare each way and stay there for two nights that would only leave me 1,200 NRs. per day. Would 750 NRs. be OK with you and your wife?” Be very clear in advance as to how much money is to be paid. When he looks disappointed, ask him if the toilet is inside. Seriously, how much should a person pay for a room without glass in the windows and a toilet you have to get to from outside?  That would leave you enough for...

Hiking the Himalayas: What to Know Before You Go Hiking Trekking

Image
Surprise! You don’t have to be an extreme athlete to tackle Nepal. When my friend Owen suggested last year that we go trekking in Nepal, I thought he was nuts. I’ve always considered myself adventurous but not an adventurer, the type who flies to the ultimate thrill-seeker’s destination, where badass climbers scale impossible mountains, wincing through blisters and blizzards. I was picturing Into Thin Air or a playground for the ultra-fit (and the ultra-rich). But on an eye-opening trip last October along some of the country’s most celebrated trails, I realized that Nepal is doable for just about everyone—as long as you know what you’re signing up for. Below, the answers to all the questions I had. Has the country recovered from the April 2015 earthquakes? In Kathmandu, many buildings and stupas remained in need of repair, and tidy piles of rubble lined the streets, but much of the city was back in action. In Namche Bazaar, a hub for trekkers, tourism was down 60 percent compa...

Lumbini, the Birthplace of the Lord Buddha Siddhartha Gautama, the Lord Buddha, was born in 623 B.C. in the famous gardens of Lumbini, which soon became a place of pilgrimage. Among the pilgrims was the Indian emperor Ashoka, who erected one of his commemorative pillars there. The site is now being developed as a Buddhist pilgrimage centre, where the archaeological remains associated with the birth of the Lord Buddha form a central feature. Outstanding Universal Value Brief synthesis The Lord Buddha was born in 623 BC in the sacred area of Lumbini located in the Terai plains of southern Nepal, testified by the inscription on the pillar erected by the Mauryan Emperor Asoka in 249 BC.
