Nepal - The Kingdom of the Himalayas
We
all know some things about Nepal - the Himalayas and
Everest, the land of the Buddha, paradoxically also the land
of the brave Gurkha soldiers, top adventure destination,
almost the roof of the world.
 Nepal is all this, and more. It is a indeed a brilliant
destination for those who like a bit of physical adventure
and excitement, or simply crave being in the great outdoors.
You can go on a short easy trek if you simply want a taste,
or on a more adventurous, almost exploratory one. You can
raft on snow-fed rivers, go on a safari, mountain bike
across large parts of the country, or even go bungy jumping.
You can watch the most awe-inspiring sunrises and the most
brilliant sunsets as the sun moves across the highest
mountains and deepest gorges in the world. You can see
subtropical vegetation just days after you've been on a
glacier or in a high-altitude desert.
But you don't have to be an adrenaline junkie to visit. An
equal part of the magic of Nepal lies in the diversity of
culture, religion, and architecture to match the enormous
diversity of landscape. The mix of Indian and Tibetan
elements with the many indigenous cultures of Nepal make for
people with hard-to-place features and religions so
syncretic that Buddhism, animism, shamanism, and Hinduism
all speak to each other. We live in flat stone-roofed houses
with tiny windows in the mountains, in clever conical
thatched huts in the lowlands, and around intricately carved
wood and brick temples, palaces, and old residences in
Kathmandu Valley's UNESCO World Heritage Site squares.
As a modern nation, Nepal is barely 250 years old, and in
some places you do wonder what century you're in, so
timeless are the rhythms of everyday life, farming, herding,
and worship. It hasn't been an easy transition into
modernity politically or in terms of development, but the
resilience and good cheer of Nepalis means that we face
setbacks with composure and find alternative ways to improve
our lives. There are many local initiatives around the
country to improve education and bring electricity or water.
In Nepal if traditional wooden turbines run stone mills,
they are used, rather than discarded for something
mindlessly modern, and in many places electricity often
comes from solar panels. Snow leopards, among scores of
exotic and rare animals, need to be conserved, so local
people in the Everest and Annapurna regions have found
innovative ways to protect their yak and sheep herds without
harming the predators.
We at Tin-Tin Trekking realize that, at the end of the day,
all the information in the world is never going to match
each individual's personal experience. Everyone carries away
their own special picture of a place, and that is exactly
what we are here to help you see.
