Reflections on Nepal
We made a first time visit to Nepal from October 8-26, 2026. Previously in 2019, we traveled along a road not too far from Darjeeling in northern India where one side of the road was West Bengal, India and other side was Nepal. We intended to visit a Nepalese market that day but the authorities, who typically allow the brief transgression, would not permit us to go.
We’ve dreamed of visiting Nepal for years and have waited till now. We began our visit in Kathmandu, staying at the Hotel Shanker-Palatial Heritage Kathmandu, followed by a couple nights at Hotel Mystic Mountain in Nagarkot, Nepal. We continued with visits to the Chandragiri Hills, Chitwan, Pokara and Jomson/Mustang. More soon.
Below, our dear Nepalese friend Rajkumar extended a royal welcome for us upon our arrival at our Kathmandu hotel! Above, at the end of our three week visit, we met his family including his wife Sucla and their twin 10-month old girls.
