My Nepal Travel Experience

Brennan currently working kind of like Social Worker with Refugees and Immigrants to U.S at a Non-Profit. I have two years university training and research experience with Chemistry. I am currently attending university to complete degree in International Studies (Kind of like language/culture/social work/political science all in one) so I can continue working with nonprofits on global scale.
Nepal & people of Nepal
The people! The Nepali people made me feel at home in Nepal more so than I ever have anywhere in the U.S away from my own home. I would even say in many ways I felt more at home in Nepal than I do my own home primarily because of the kindness and willingness to always help each other that I observed from Nepali people.
Honestly i love Nepal to the point i would live here if possible there’s so much natural beauty even around Kathmandu (more so in outer areas) and there’s also a lot of culture. Most Nepali people are kind and helpful to the point that i almost feel like it’s a prank or something. But for the most part of Nepal as a whole are just that compassionate and caring for other human beings.
Brennan Taylor had visited Nepal experience on July – 2016
After the Earthquake for tourist
In regards to temples and monuments that is moderately true that some are badly damaged. If i were i person coming here seeking some type of religious pilgrimage. I think i would’ve been quite disappointed being they about half of the temples that once were are gone or badly destroyed, but there are still many they are intact.Kathmandu and Bhaktapur Durbar Square which i believe we’re the two more impressive ones are both badly damaged to the point that it is more sad to see than beautiful or interesting. But my personal opinion is that those things are irrelevant because to me the true beauty of Nepal lies within the mountains and the treks.
All the earthquakes in the world can happen and those things will likely not be going anywhere. It’s a natural beauty that i think cannot be found anywhere in the world or really destroyed by natural disasters either. Sure maybe landslides or earthquakes might make some trekking routes less accessible or more dangerous but I believe that for many that hint of danger and adrenaline is what drives them to go on trek.
Nepal is still on my bucket list.
If / When I return to Nepal I absolutely want to come when it is better season for trekking and there are not so many clouds from Monsoon. I really want to return and Trek to the Lakes around Gokyo Ri towards the East as well as the Upper Mustang Region towards the West. I also want to return to Bandipur to get the full cloud free panoramic view that you can see there. In my experience so far Bandipur may be the best view in the entire country!
Beyond that I also definitely want to go to the Terai Region mostly to visit Chitwan National Park and Lumbini! But i think it also as to be recognized that Nepal has so much natural beauty in regards thought out even in the Terai region with Chitwan but particularly breathtaking scenery and views in the Himalayan areas.
Am not happy with…
People just dump chemicals everywhere and also throw garbage just anywhere in the streets. If I good garbage and recycling system could be implemented it would make the country much healthier, appearance better and in places where it’s a problem it would do away will the poor smell. The one thing that i really am bothered by here is the lack of environmental awareness.

what to know before traveling to nepal

Q1 How physically fit do I need to be to trek in Nepal?
Trekking in the high Himalayas is a bit of a challenge compared to trekking at low elevations. Your level of Physical fitness depends on which trek and for how long! In Nepal treks normally last 5-6 hours. However, there are more difficult treks, where you’ll have to put in a good 10-12 days of walking at a stretch, with each day of walking lasting anything from 8-9 hours. This puts a lot of stress on the body. On most ascent days, the amount of hiking you can do will be limited by the speed at which you can ascend safely. Descending days is likely to be longer in terms of miles but of course by this stage you should be getting much stronger. You don’t need to be an aerobic fitness expert for peak climbing, and to experience an enjoyable trek in the Himalayas. You just need stamina and strength of mind to being on your feet for days.


Q2 What kind of treks do you recommend in Nepal?
If you are a professional hiker who is looking for a real challenge, then we recommend the trek to the Everest Base Camp. There are two ways to get up there. You can trek via the Gokyo lakes which lets you bypass most of the crowd or you can tread the classic route and Island peak addition for the determined trekker looking to bag a real Himalayan summit. If you’re in Nepal for a short vacation, and you still want to see Everest then there are a couple of options; , a heli-trek flight is a great option option if you have cash to spare. Alternatively, a 3-day hike to Namche Bazaar allows you to get a great view of Everest, Amadablam and more. You can also opt to see the equally scenic Annapurna region which offers some of the best trekking routes that include the following: Annapurna Circuit, Annapurna Base CampPoonhill GhorepaniUpper Mustang and the Manaslu Circuit.
Just as stunning and by no means should be overlooked, are the stunning views and unique cultures of theLangtang region.
Q3 When is the best time of year for trekking?
* June to August – Indian monsoon season. Trekking is challenging during this period however you can still trek the Upper Mustang, Upper Dolpo, Annapurna and Manaslu circuits as most of the routes here are shadowed from rain clouds and receive a lot less rainfall.
*February to end May – Generally, warm and dry weather.
*September to mid-December – This is the most popular time for trekking however be sure to bring warm clothing for higher altitudes.
Q4 Which is the best way to get to Nepal?
Nepal has only one International Airport, which is in Kathmandu (KTM). Tribhuvan International Airport has direct flights from Hong Kong (Dragon air), Singapore (silk air), Bangkok (Thai Air and Nepal airlines), Delhi (Air india, Jet air, Spice jet, and Indigo), Dubai (Ethihad, Air Arabia,), Istanbul (Turkish Air), Malaysia (Malaysian air, air asia, and nepal airlines), Bombay (jet air), Doha (Qatar air), Bangladesh (Biman Air, and United Air) and many others too. If you from America and Europe then Middle East Hubs of Dubai and Doha or Istanbul (Turkish air) or via Hong Kong, Singapore, Bangkok or Delhi will the best options.
Q5 How much does it cost to trek in Nepal?
Trekking in Nepal cost depends mainly on the days of trek you want. It depends on which region and the technical route, but to make your trip easier and cheaper you can join an open trek (Fixed Departures). But make sure in cheaper price you getting quality service!

Q6 Is Nepal safe for Solo Female traveller?
Solo female travel in Nepal is completely safe & inspiring with us. All the places you can explore without any type of hesitation. You’ll see many female foreigners in Nepal traveling alone and this should come as no surprise. Since tourism is the staple of the Nepalese economy, female individuals of all pace of life are welcomed graciously. Prior to making a solo traveling in Nepal, females must acquire detail information like travel route, safety measures, native people, culture, custom, tradition etc.
Though female single travelers have little to worry about in the urban districts of Nepal, it is advisable to have a guide or liaison in the outer regions that speaks fluent English and Nepali and also for safety. Not only are guides important for protection, but often our clients have often remarked that the friendships formed with guides along the trails have been among the most meaningful experiences they’ve had throughout their journey.
