Sometimes, the best stories begin with a completely random meeting on the road. 🇳🇵
Yesterday, I randomly met from the UK on the streets of Nepal. She had just returned from her Everest Base Camp trek, and what started as a simple conversation turned into a beautiful exchange of stories.
She shared her experience in the Himalayas, the people she met, the challenges she faced, her favourite Nepali foods, and the moments she will remember for years.
What impressed me most was Sophie herself. She is one of the most amazing, warm and genuinely friendly people I have ever met. It was such a pleasure to talk with her and hear Nepal through her eyes.
And this random meeting reminded me of something important:
Nepal needs travellers right now.
When you come to Nepal, you are not simply taking a holiday. You are supporting guides, porters, teahouse families, drivers, restaurants, local businesses and communities across the country.
Your holiday can become someone’s livelihood.�Your visit can help Nepal recover.�Your decision to come can make a difference.
Help Nepal by coming to Nepal. 🇳🇵
Thank you, Sophie, for stopping to talk, sharing your story, your favourite foods and your experience with me. Sometimes, you meet a stranger on the road and leave with a new friend.
