Welcome to AskMeNepal, your comprehensive resource for discovering, planning, and experiencing the extraordinary beauty of Nepal. Founded by passionate travel writers and Nepal experts, our mission is to help international travelers from Australia, the UK, the US, Europe, and beyond explore the Himalayas with confidence, cultural respect, and genuine adventure.
We’re not just another travel blog. We’re your virtual Sherpa, guiding you through Nepal’s snow-capped peaks, ancient temples, vibrant festivals, and welcoming communities. Whether you’re planning your first trek to Everest Base Camp, seeking spiritual renewal in Kathmandu’s sacred sites, or dreaming of spotting Bengal tigers in Chitwan, AskMeNepal provides the authentic, practical, and inspiring information you need.
Our Story: AskMeNepal was born from countless conversations with travelers who arrived in Nepal unprepared, misinformed, or missing opportunities to experience the country’s true magic. We recognized a gap between generic travel guides and what travelers actually needed—honest, detailed, culturally sensitive information written by people who genuinely know and love Nepal.
Our founders have collectively spent years living, working, and trekking throughout Nepal. We’ve walked every major trail, stayed in mountain teahouses, celebrated festivals in remote villages, and built lasting relationships with local communities. This isn’t armchair travel writing—it’s knowledge earned through muddy boots, high-altitude headaches, and countless cups of chai shared with Nepali friends.
What We Do:
- Comprehensive Destination Guides: Detailed information about Nepal’s regions, cities, and hidden gems
- Trekking & Adventure Planning: Expert guides for treks from beginner to advanced, plus adventure activities
- Cultural Insights: Respectful, accurate information about Nepal’s diverse cultures, festivals, and traditions
- Practical Travel Planning: Visa information, budgeting guides, safety tips, and logistical advice
- Current Updates: Regular updates on conditions, regulations, and developments affecting travelers
- Sustainable Travel Advocacy: Promoting responsible tourism that benefits local communities
Our Values:
1. Authenticity: We share real experiences, honest assessments, and practical advice. If something isn’t worth visiting, we’ll tell you. If a trek is harder than advertised, we’ll prepare you.
2. Cultural Respect: Nepal welcomed us into its mountains and homes. We honor that hospitality by promoting respectful, culturally sensitive travel that benefits local communities rather than exploiting them.
3. Sustainability: We advocate for responsible trekking, minimal environmental impact, fair treatment of porters and guides, and tourism that preserves Nepal’s natural and cultural heritage for future generations.
4. Accuracy: We fact-check rigorously, update regularly, and correct mistakes promptly. Your safety and experience depend on reliable information.
5. Independence: While we may earn commissions from some recommended services, our opinions remain honest and unbiased. We only recommend services and businesses we’d use ourselves.

How We’re Different:

- Regular Updates: Nepal changes rapidly. We update content frequently with current information.
- Depth Over Breadth: We’d rather provide exceptional detail about Nepal than superficial coverage of dozens of countries.
