Have you ever been? What was it like? Is the food really as bad as they say?
flag alone is enough of a reason to make me never want to visit nepal
>>2837932did some hiking no crazy summits thoughjust the Annapurna CircuitKathmandu air pollution was horriblebut other than that, it's a cool city for a few days>Is the food really as bad as they say?who says that??it's very similar to Indian food (given the proximity and amount of Indians there) but a bit more restriction in terms of food availabilitycan feel a little dull, but not badthough I quite liked the the himalayan tibet inspired food
I have been OP, I can give you detailed responses if you ask the right questions.>Have you ever been?I went for 3.5 weeks for a college trip, studying at campuses in Kathmandu & Pokhara and spending time with the students. I had an unreal time the only thing which I didn't get to do much of was hiking. But there is definitely enough to do and see to get around this. You can walk around Kathmandu for days there is so much to see, Pokhara as well. I also went on a safari at Chitwan.>Is the food really as bad as they say?Where the fuck did you hear this? the food is absolutely kino, and crazyyyy cheap. Everywhere I go I would get momo's and it was delicious as well as a main meal because it would only cost a few dollars.If you have more questions I will answer>picrel
>>2837971Will post some photos I took from when I visited, The Himalayas are the most beautiful think I have ever seen. Stepping off the plane in Pokhara was breathtaking to see them

>Nepalese goat curry>momo>chow meinNepalese food is fantastic
>>2837951What time of year did you visit Nepal?$125 cash for a 90 day visit at any Nepalese port of entry seems pretty straightforward. Seeing how India becomes unbearably hot in April, it seems wise to head north, gain some elevation and get away from the pajeetery of the Ganges Basin. Unfortunately, there are no direct flights from Nepal to Central Asia, a region of the world on top of my list for next June/July.
>>2837932>Is the food really as bad as they say?It's only bad if you already dislike Indian & Chinese food.>>2837981Based.
>>2837971OP here, I somehow completely forgot about this thread.Well, I'll be going there next week, and will mostly stay at Pokhara. Then I'll go on a 5-day trek to Mardi Himal. But apparently the food on the trek sucks balls. And I hear there aren't many good restaurants in Pokhara. I'm fine with anything as long it's not entirely vegetarian or has rice in it.
>>2838026>What time of year did you visit Nepal?end of Aprilprobably the best time to visit, but also the most crowded>a region of the world on top of my list for next June/Julyi hope that you're aware that this is during the rainy seasonnot impossible to hike / get aroundbut depending on where you go, you'll be miserable>I'm fine with anything as long it's not entirely vegetarian that's gonna be difficultit's quite common for restaurants along the hiking routes to just run out of certain ingredients / dishesyou definitely will have many vegetarian dishes, unless you significantly preplan or stay in big cities>or has rice in it.kekare you sure you want to travel to Nepal?
>>2838208ahh second part was obviously related to >>2838184
>>2838212I'm just going there to have a good time and trek a mountain.
>>2838208I like monsoonWatching the clouds move and listening to the thunderEating dinner at a restaurant when the downpour hits"No have" is something you hear in any Asian country. Eggs and butter with no meat suits me fine. Full vegan i.e. onions-based meat substitutes, should be avoided.
>>2837932>Have you ever been?2 weeks 7y ago, kathmandu, citwan, pokhara circut with some light hikes on the hills.>What was it like?Superb when it comes to people, everyone besides few scammers in kathmandu is amazing. Nature is also amazing but some places are dirty with trash, akin to india but onthe smaller scale. The cherry on top moment was when I rode an elephant with the village mayor, they invited me because i looked good and could climb it i guess. They had a bread festival and I party with half the village. Before that iI saw 2 rhinos, some elephants and multiple peacocks on Citwan safari.>Is the food really as bad as they say?Its pretty bad, but you can manage, that if you dont have loiht stomach, otherwise youll have cramps, visit shitter pretty often (a bit better than india).
>>2838379>I like monsoonunless you need to drive through mountainous regions on dirt roadsthe problem isn't directly the rainit's having to take a 5h+ detour because one the roads on your route is closed or getting stuck in mud for the 3rd timeif you don't have to move, then sure>Full vegan i.e. onions-based meat substitutes, should be avoided.not sure what you mean by thatbut if you're afraid of tofu, you'll have a harder time
How hard is the Mardi Himal trek, bros? Is it going to kill a lardass with back problems like me?
>>2838489Surely the sensible traveler can figure out how to stay on the 19000 km of paved roads within the country?
