Life in Nepal
You’re likely visiting Nepal to see the mighty Himalaya, but you’ll find there’s way more to this incredible country. Life in Nepal is unique and magical. Experience the initial assault on your senses as you journey from the airport to your hotel in Thamel. It’s one of the poorest countries in the world and some scenes will shock you – the river flowing with rubbish and people living in extremely poor conditions.
Yet you’ll see many things that will instantly warm your heart. A young girl washing her long hair under a tap at the side of the road. Children playing in the street with a coke bottle top tied to a piece of string. An old woman sitting on a rock plucking a chicken. With less distractions and people living in the moment, this world is mesmerising and refreshing. If you’re looking for some perspective in your life, we guarantee you’ll find it here.
Nepali people are brave and resilient. Many have faced very challenging circumstances during their lives. Including the massive earthquake in April 2015 that killed nearly 9,000 people and destroyed many more homes. You can read about our Langtang trek three years after the earthquake.
When our Founder, Krishna was born at home, his Mother didn’t even have food to eat. She was starving when she gave birth to him. Thankfully, times have changed and Krishna’s family is now self-sufficient, with plenty of food to go around. You can read about Krishna’s home life in our blog about village life in Nepal. Sadly, many are still less fortunate. Yet you’ll see more warm smiles in Nepal than most other countries. You’ll likely want to help where you can and you’ll certainly feel grateful for all that you have.
In these blogs, find out more about our team and life in Nepal!

The fourth interview in our series of Nepal Trekking Guide Interviews is with our wonderful, professional trekking guide in Nepal – Buddhi! You’ll spot Buddhi’s smile before you see him and he’s every bit as genuine as his pearly whites suggest! Krishna met Buddhi in 2015 through Bibek, one of our other fabulous Nepalorama guides. They’re from the same village
The second interview in our series of Nepal Trekking Guide Interviews is with our friendly and trusted Nepal trekking guide – Bibek! I met Bibek in Kathmandu a few months ago.

The first interview in our series of Nepal Trekking Guide Interviews has to be with our one and only Krishna! Founder of Nepalorama Trekking and known for being ‘probably one of the best guides ever’! There’s no doubt that in our mind, Krishna is THE best trekking guide in Nepal.

Holi – The Festival of Colours Those of you that know me, know I use this phrase a lot! So I’ve been waiting a while to write a blog called ‘Holi Mackerel’ to celebrate the Holi festival in Nepal! I spent Holi – the famous festival of colours – in Pokhara five years ago. It was amazing! I’d seen colourful
Krishna and I always talked about me visiting his village in Nuwakot and meeting his family. Finally that day came during my recent visit, when I was lucky enough to learn a little about village life in Nepal. I spent two nights there and was truly moved by what I discovered. A world where time almost stands still, families are
