Keeping up with some news from Nepal

With the early onset of the monsoon showers this year, the farming community in Nepal is hopeful for a rich harvest this season. The tourism industry is slowly coming to a slow phase with the start of the so called ‘off season’ until mid September. It is now time to reevaluate and reflect back on the past months and plan ahead for October – November season.

This month also marked the birth of Lord Buddha with ‘Buddha Jayanti’ celebrations celebrated throughout the country. Adventurehimal observed this day at Borderlands Eco Adventure Resort located on the banks of the mighty Bhote Koshi River. This festival was celebrated with the theme of spreading peace and harmony through music and peaceful chanting and peace prayers by monks. A famous folk musical group ‘Kutumba’ performed a peace concert at Borderlands and also participated in white water descent.

Recently, we also witnessed various political protests, frequent strikes called by various organizations in the name of pressurizing the government for drafting the constitution which has long been overdue. Under such circumstances, many itineraries had to be revised and alterations had to be made to ensure that our customers get the best at these adverse times.
