Hallo people out there

My advice take a trip to Nepal here you can experience Everything from local culture, Buddhism, colorful festivals, wild animals, challenging adventure trips, and then you will see the most amazing nature.

13 September: I just arrive in Nepal to getter with 11 other young backpackers from Denmark.

We arrive from Copenhagen early in the morning, where friendly and a bit aggressive Nepalese people immediately takes our luggage and brings it to our buss, which they of cause expect some money for. My first impression: The Nepalese people are very hectic, but most of them have good intentions. It is very clear that Nepal is a poor country. There are many people on the streets begging or trying to sell you everything, and on the roads you'll see a lot of tuktuk's, cars, and bikes (with at least 2-5 people on) and like the red thread that runs through all Asian countries: there are no traffic rules. It's a chaos!!

After welcoming in the best Nepal ethical style - with yellow garland around our necks - we drove to our hotel in the center of Kathmandu. We'll be staying in the middle of the backpacker area of Thamel at the hotel Mashandgi. There we met the people behind the trekking company Highlander, which have arrange all our trips from trekking, sightseeing, temple visiting, a visit to Tibet, rafting, kayak, paragliding, bungee and so on. The 3 guides that met us at the hotel were very help fully, and gave us a short briefing about, what we'll see the next 4 days in Kathmandu.

Day number one we spend on sightseeing in Kathmandu, where we saw temples and Buddha characters. A bus took us to various corners of the city, which hides everything from large to (secret) small temples in people's backyards. And everywhere we went locals would try to sell us everything from necklaces to three- sting homemade guitars.

We also visit the small villages around the entire Kathmandu Valley, where people live very close and primitive surrounded by the beautiful and distinctive rice fields. Although it is clear that nepalese are very poor, only smiling and friendly people and playful children meets us on our trip. The children think that it's exciting to see people from the west, and they would follow us around the city. It's very inspiring to meet so much happiness among the nepalese although they don't really own anything!
