The Best Restaurants in Pokhara
I’ve spent a lot of time in Pokhara during my travels since it’s a major hub for tourism in Nepal, not to mention the starting point for several treks. Suraj and I like to frequent certain restaurants while there, and I finally decided to compile a list of the best restaurants in Pokhara. This time, […]
Patan Itinerary: Hotels, Restaurants, Temples, Walking Tours & More
The first time I went to Nepal, I really dragged my feet about going to Patan. In my mind, it was too far away to go for just one day, but it wasn’t far enough to warrant switching hotels. On my second visit to Nepal, I was invited to Patan to watch a friend DJ […]

Tansen, Palpa: City Guide & Photography
Tansen, Nepal is a special city to me because it’s the place my boyfriend was born. I have to say, I was super excited to see it, but I hadn’t done any research before arriving. It didn’t seem necessary since I had a tour guide who was born and raised there. The truth is, I […]

Pharping, Nepal: Things to do, Hotels, Monasteries, Hikes & More
After finishing up a fairly exciting three day trek around the southwest portion of the Kathmandu Valley, we decided to stop in Pharping which was on the way home. It was a place I’d never heard of before, and I couldn’t even locate it on Google Maps. It seemed clear that this would be a […]
