Travelers are dreamers who make their desire for adventure a reality

My trip to Nepal marks my fifth solo adventure and God willing, I will have more adventures to count.

I had several adventures traveling but it is by far the greatest one of all. Planned in a very short period of time but the experience far exceeded my expectations.

A humble gesture that anybody will appreciate profoundly.


Despite the devastating earthquake that struck the country in 2015, Nepal still remains a fascinating destination for tourists as it offers diverse historical landmarks, ancient buildings, holy shrines, beautiful lakes and mountains, and most of all people who are resilient and always keep a smile on their faces amidst life’s challenges.

“Travel makes you realize that no matter how much you know, there’s always more to learn”


From getting the bird’s-eye view of Kathmandu valley as the plane began its descent, visiting museums, touring stupas, temples, pagoda and monasteries like being transported to another era, capturing a moment with young monks, travelling 6-7 hours from one city to another, crossing the lake on a boat, exploring natural wonders such as cave and falls, going on a short trek to an ethnic village with magnificent mountain views to living in a 300-year old Newari House and meeting a lot of thoughtful and charming people in Nepal - it was such an exciting experience.

I felt moments of awe while in Nepal, a beautiful country rich in culture and history.
