Why Nepal Rocks. (share if you are nepali)

It’s got the highest peaks in the world and some of the fastest rivers too. It’s got brave hospitable souls and a rich culture. The descriptions are many but it is difficult to pinpoint just one reason why one loves Nepal.

We asked four young Nepalis who are currently living abroad what they love best about Nepal.

Khukuri, touted as the world's most popular knife, it's known for its unique slashing edge and has been used as a weapon of war dating back to the early 1800's.

The  mountains. The Annapurna region was voted one of the top 10 best trekking places on earth. Mt Everest. Everest in Nepali is 'Sagarmatha' which means Goddess of the sky.

Nepal is the birthplace of Lord Buddha and Lumbini is a pilgrimage site for many devout Buddhists.

The Nepali flag, for it's the only nation with a non-quadrilateral flag. The two triangles symbolise the Himalaya Mountains and represent the two major religions, Hinduism and Buddhism.
The Laughing Cow does exist in Nepal. Like its southern neighbours, you're more likely to find a Baskin Robbins than a beef burger.
Nepali woodcrafters are among the most talented in the world, producing exquisite one-of-a-kind pieces of art.

Weather : We have time for each other, from huddling around chowks to playing carrom board on the roadside. There's definitely a sense of togetherness among people.
Rooftop bus rides and the mega-annoying loud horns from the night buses are the little things that make me desperately miss Nepal.
Jharana Bajracharya!



Thamel. It never gets old. There's something for all ages in the tourist hub. Great place for teenagers.

The simplicity of life led by Nepalis is another reason as to why Nepal rocks.
It rocks because at the end of the day the people have learned to look at the country with optimism and a sense of hope for the days ahead. Jai Nepal !
Love for the chatpates sold in Kathmandu. Huge shout out to the dai in Golfutar Chowk
who's been selling it since ages ago!
Only rocks stares can handle such adrenaline from the third highest bungee in the world and the world's longest free-fall canyon swing at the last Resort.





One can bargain for everything; from buying a house to even a recharge card. A nation of flexibility!
Dharan isn't only popular for fashion. You got to try out the aloo nimkin. Once isn't quite enough.
Old   Temples
The unpredictability and thrill of Nepal which only some can positively handle are quite exciting. Not knowing whether you will reach your hometown by tomorrow, having no idea when you'll get water at your house or fuel for your bike to go on a mad Friday night out is something that adds to Nepal's appeal.
