After exploring the spiritual atmosphere of Pashupatinath Temple, I wanted to experience another side of Kathmandu—its history, architecture and old-city atmosphere. That is what made Kathmandu Durbar Square interesting for me. Our Nepal trip had already taken us through very different experiences. We had enjoyed the peaceful side of Pokhara, travelled through mountain roads on…
There was something completely different about visiting Pashupatinath Temple. Until this point, our Nepal trip had been a mixture of mountains, scooter rides, lakes, caves, viewpoints, cafés and nightlife. We had already experienced the adventurous side of Nepal, especially around Pokhara. But Pashupatinath felt different. It wasn’t about adventure. It wasn’t about taking the perfect…
If you’re visiting Pokhara and want to experience something beyond Phewa Lake and Lakeside, Pumdikot is one place I’d definitely keep on the list. For us, Pumdikot wasn’t just another sightseeing stop. We reached there on our scooter, travelled through the mountain roads and spent time exploring the temple area, the huge Shiva statue and…
When people plan a Nepal trip, they usually spend most of their time researching places to visit. Which mountain? Which lake? Which viewpoint? Which café? Which temple? But one thing that can quietly make or break a trip is where you stay. We learned this during our own Nepal journey. Our hotel experience was mostly…
If I had to travel to Nepal again, I would definitely do some things differently. Not because our trip was bad—in fact, it was one of the most memorable trips I’ve taken—but because you learn the most after you’ve actually travelled somewhere. Before our Nepal trip, we had a general idea of where we wanted…
Nepal Travel Experience: What I Loved, What Challenged Me & What I Would Do Differently Our Nepal trip wasn’t a perfectly planned holiday. There was no situation where we had every minute of every day decided in advance. A lot of the trip happened naturally. We reached a place, explored it, spoke to people, asked…

When I think about our Nepal trip, I don’t remember only the mountains, lakes, temples and tourist attractions. One of the biggest things I remember is how people treated us and how different everyday life felt compared with what I had expected. We went to Nepal as Indian travellers, and throughout the journey we had…
Our Nepal trip was not one of those journeys where everything was planned months in advance. We didn’t have a perfectly fixed itinerary where every hour was decided beforehand. A lot of our travel happened naturally. We would reach a place, talk to people, ask for suggestions, decide where to go next, and then continue….
