Solo travel experience

Nepal is absolutely magical. I was in Kathmandu three years ago and loved wandering around the Durbar Squares around sunset when the street vendors came out and the spaces came alive. Patan Durbar Square is a personal favorite; cardamom-spiced chai is a must. Otherwise, my friends there took me to the ancient capital of Bhaktapur outside Kathmandu for a day trip – which comes highly recommended too.

Solo travel experience

I was in Nepal on my Everest Base Camp trek. I highly recommend doing some type of guided city tour. Some of the main sites are pretty far out from each other and it was really nice to have a driver and a guide.

Solo travel experience

Nepal is incredible, but Kathmandu can be a bit overwhelming at first. My tip is don't let anyone help you with your luggage or put it on a baggage cart at the airport. It's a well-known scam. My guide told me most of the people doing this aren't even airport employees.
