Eric and I visited Nepal for a month in the fall of 2000. After informing ourselves on the possibilities through guidebooks (including the Lonely Planet guide, as all tourists in Nepal seem to do) and a variety of Internet pages, we made our own plans. We booked only the plane tickets from the Netherlands; all else was planned on the spot, usually one day in advance.
As those who know me can acknowledge, I’ve seen a lot of the world. As far as I can tell, I’ve always been honest in saying that every place has its good and bad points; it’s nearly impossible to compare different areas of the world. But Nepal is among the best. The natural beauty, the cultural diversity, the entire atmosphere to the place, they’re impossible to describe and must be tasted personally. Nepal is in a league of its own... go and see for yourself!

If you are planning to visit Nepal anytime soon, check out this page for practical information. Short descriptions of where we went, what it was like, the agencies through which we booked our activities, what you should bring, etc. are given on this page.
