Nepal, honestly

Practical Nepal travel, written from the ground.

Nepal is a country where getting the logistics right matters — mountain flights cancel, permits stack up, weather windows close, and the difference between a great trip and a miserable one is usually the planning done before you leave home. This site is built around the practical questions: how to fly to the Karnali without losing two days, where to actually see a red panda, why October is better than May for trekking peaks, and what you should genuinely skip.

Every guide is thoroughly researched, fact-checked against official sources, and written with opinions. No package-tour boosterism. When a place is worth skipping, we say so. When a price is inflated, we say that too. Cost breakdowns are in rupees and dollars both — no hand-waving.
