What do people say about their trip to Nepal?

"The city was somewhat overwhelming for me at first. I've never been to southeast Asia before, and the sights, sounds, and smells can be bewildering. But I always felt safe in Thamel. There are westerners everywhere you look, most of the signs are in English, and people are friendly and courteous, for the most part. Some sales people are pushy, but that's part of the charm. We took a walk to Durbar Square, a collection of temples and shrines. We wandered a bit through non-tourist areas and had a great time." -- David Metsky, a trekker holding a 200 mile journey around Annapurna.

"Nepal is a wonderful place for trekking. If you like to walk, there is no more inspiring place to do it... Traveling to Nepal is actually not very difficult, and the country is well-prepared to receive trekkers. I encourage others to discover this beautiful part of the world for themselves. " -- Scot A. Yost, an American citizen spending six weeks in Nepal in 1994.

"I could start with some cliche about my trip to Nepal. It was the best summer ever, the most incredible experience or that it was the most empowering thing I’ve ever done in my life. All of these are true, but nothing I can say can really demonstrate or justify the emotion, growth and love that I gained. Sometimes I try to explain what I did or what it was like, but the words seem feeble in comparison to the reality. There is something magical about Nepal. Maybe it’s the mountains, the people or just the smell of incense in the street. I remember looking up to the clear sky at night, gazing up at the stars. I miss waking up in the morning and seeing the sea of clouds below in the valley. The air has tranquillity in it and is spiritual in its own way." -- An Australian, Cassandra Mok, a World Youth Overseas Action participant.

"With its ancient culture and the Himalayas as a backdrop, the land locked Kingdom of Nepal has for many years been the destination of choice for foreign travelers in search of adventure." -- BBCWorld
