Travel Channel aficionados, documentary lovers, National Geographic buffs, and wanderers share a common trait.

At some point, we’re bitten by the travel bug. If fortunate, we’ll traverse the globe to exotic, mesmerizing, or challenging places.

I have no travel bucket list except for Egypt and Antarctica…one down and one to go. Cultures vastly different from my own especially captivate me.

Nepal is one of those fascinating locales with breathtaking scenery, intriguing history, and phenomenal people.

✅ In 2008, its 240-year-old monarchy was replaced by a democracy.

✅ It is landlocked and sandwiched among India, Tibet, and China.

✅ In the Himalayas, Mt. Everest, the world’s tallest peak, is situated on the Nepal-Tibet border.

✅ It is the only country without a square or rectangular flag.
