Additionally, a Himalayan Tour Package often includes experienced guides who are well-versed in the local culture and geography. They can provide insights and stories that enhance your understanding of the places you visit, making your journey even more enriching.

Destinations to Explore

The Himalayas are home to numerous breathtaking destinations, each offering unique experiences. Some of the must-visit places included in most Himalayan Tour Packages are:

One of the highlights of a Himalayan Tour Package is the opportunity to immerse yourself in the local culture. The region is home to a diverse range of communities, each with its own traditions, festivals, and cuisines. Whether you’re attending a local festival, participating in a traditional dance, or enjoying a meal with a local family, you’ll find that the hospitality of the Himalayan people is unmatched.

Many Himalayan Tour Packages also include visits to ancient monasteries and temples. These sacred sites offer a glimpse into the spiritual life of the region and are often located in breathtaking settings, surrounded by towering peaks and lush valleys.

River Rafting: The rivers flowing down the Himalayan slopes offer thrilling white-water rafting opportunities. Rishikesh is particularly famous for its rafting adventures.

Skiing and Snowboarding: During winter, regions like Auli and Gulmarg transform into winter wonderlands, attracting skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts.

Best Time to Visit

Choosing the right time for your Himalayan Tour Package is essential to ensure a pleasant experience. The best time to visit the Himalayas largely depends on the specific region and the activities you wish to pursue:

Summer (March to June): This is the peak season for travelers, especially for trekking and outdoor activities. The weather is pleasant, and the landscapes are lush and green.

Monsoon (July to September): While the monsoon brings vibrant greenery, it can also lead to landslides and travel disruptions in some areas. However, this is a great time for cultural festivals.

Autumn (October to November): Autumn is another excellent time to visit, with clear skies and breathtaking views. The temperatures are cooler, making it perfect for trekking.

Winter (December to February): Winter in the Himalayas offers a unique charm, especially for those interested in snow sports. However, be prepared for colder temperatures and potential road closures.

Conclusion

A Himalayan Tour Package promises an unforgettable journey through one of the most breathtaking landscapes on Earth. With its stunning vistas, rich cultural experiences, and adventure opportunities, the Himalayas are a destination that truly has something for everyone. Whether you’re looking for spiritual enlightenment, thrilling adventures, or simply a break from the hustle and bustle of daily life, the majestic Himalayas await your exploration.

John Rai And The Locals.

I have probably seen multiple live shows in person. After a long time, I felt like I had never heard or seen this kind of magical performance for a long time. It was the live show of the band "The John Rai and The Locals." The lead vocalist was John Rai, and there was Steve Rai for electric guitar, the bass guitar by Manu Rai, drums from Jasper Rai, and beautiful flute and acoustic guitar from Sudarshan Thapa. The show was electrifying and full of emotion and craziness. Everyone was enjoying the show and was full of energy.

John Rai and The Locals are known as the Nepali Pop Rock band for their electrified live performances. This band became very popular in Nepal recently, with some of the raw vocals and an original pre-recorded version by John Rai. The band was initially formed with classmates and neighborhood friends. Backstory: They were a small local band who used to jam and play some during the twenties. After some, The lead vocalist moved abroad for his undergraduate studies. After being abroad, he was not satisfied with anything, neither his studies, work, or the culture. The lead vocalist left the country without completing his studies. He formed a band with his friend Manu and his friend's brother Steve, and they formed the band with the other members and started releasing songs. They were not so popular at that, and they used to perform in the local bars and restaurants. Slowly, some of the raw version songs of the band started getting popular. The raw version of the "Hawa jastai malai" song was a massive success. They started doing live performances. In the larger mass, they were known for being the best performers and new faces in the Nepali music industry.

The live from March 8, 2024, in Pokhara still reminds me of those moments. That wasn't any tour show or grant show. It was a typical show with 1500 people. Whenever there is a live show in my hometown, I usually go to watch the live show. The biggest advantage of watching shows in my hometown was that I didn’t usually need to buy the ticket because I used to have a connection with people who were event organizers, or I would find a way to enter the venue through bouncers because somehow I or my friends would know the bouncers. Or We find an other way to enter to see the show. The show was organized by the  NYC Ratnachowk Club on the day of Shivarattri. Shivarattri is a tradition of a Hindu people who follow the god Shiva. On this occasion, people smoke marijuana and stay all night doing bonfires and enjoying. It is the only day in a year when marijuana is legal. Usually, nonsmokers also try, and most people are high on marijuana this day. I was enjoying my day in the Shivaratri at the bonfire, and I got a call from my friend to go to the show  1 hour before the show. We didn’t have a ticket for the show, and it was already too late to call someone who had access because none of them answered the call because they were busy. The show was at the junction of a road surrounded by a big border from two sides of the road (entry and exit point) and between the two sides of the house. Luckily. One of my friend's houses was there where we could enter the house through the back door, and we could directly enter the event through the front door. We were successfully able to access the show. I know this sounds crazy. This was a new experience for me. 

I saw them for the first time. There was also a massive crowd of people watching the performance. The whole road intersection was blocked for the concert. Most of the people could see the show from the balcony of their house. There were a lot of people in the window of the house.  The show starts with the beautiful electric guitar and bass guitar drums. The vocalist entered the stage, and the whole audience started cheering. The scenes started to be crazy. The show started with the all-time favorite song, "Hawa jastai malai." This song reminds me of inner freedom and flying like air. The other song, "K Garu," an unreleased version, starts with a beautiful melody and flute. In the middle of the show, the light went off. But the audience didn't stop for a moment and instead continued singing with their phone torchlight on. Most of the audience was crazy high that night due to the chemicals, so they didn’t need a big speaker and electricity because most of the people knew the song's lyrics and had a mobile torchlight. After some time, the electricity comes, and the show continues show with Songs: Nihit , K Garu, Vanana Matra, Farkhana hola, Samaya , Sadhana and ends after midnight.

That's why they have one of the greatest audiences and one of the greatest live shows I have seen, and it is the craziest night. Definitely, A Night to be remembered!

Santosh Bot, from Bankatta, had a rare visitor recently in the Eco-sensitive tourism cottages and the community hall which SMA had designed with many collaborators in Madi valley, Chitwan. Apart from anthropological and social-cultural questions, the visitor wanted to know EVERYTHING about the robust mud walls, the intricate bamboo destails, natural cross ventilation principles, earthquake resistant structural frames. As a former SMA intern, Janek Bosman returned to Nepal to experience first hand the vernacular wisdom and contemporary architecture innovations in Bankatta.

Amidst the picturesque landscape, the airy community hall and cozy eco-cottages stood as witness to community spirit and sustainable living. Santosh Bot, the owner of the Madi Eco-village guesthouse, gave Janek a tour around the village along with the cottages as well. From the robust mud walls to the intricate bamboo craftsmanship, each detail represented of a deep-rooted heritage of the site. Janek even stayed for the night in one of the cottages which was not only comfortable but also a refreshing escape from the May heat. A fruitful (re)visit to the project!

top 5 countries you visited?

ok, so to preface this, obviously i am going to base this on my personal experiences in the countries. i traveled to 14 countries in 2023 and some were for as short as 24 hours while others were for 2.5 weeks, so there's a really big range to choose from. but here's my list in no particular order:

001. south africa—i was born in cape town and my family moved away when i was about 18 months old which means i had no memories of my birthplace. i got to go back in may for the first time since we left and it lived up to all of my expectations. it was so beautiful and the people were lovely and i had so much fun with my colleagues and the new friends i made on the trip. i also got to go to johannesburg which was super pleasant. i got to spend a whole week in my birth country and i hope to return again in the future.

002. portugal—i went with my brother, sister, brother-in-law, and niece on a european adventure this summer and we spent a good chunk of the trip in lisbon. the city was GORGEOUS and so different from other cities i've been to before. we ate great food and drank amazing wine and had new experiences together. this was one of the first big trips my siblings and i have taken as adults and i hope we do it again in the future.

003. nepal—i lived in kathmandu for 2 years as a teenager from the time i was 14 until just after i turned 16. returning this fall for the first time since 2007 was a wild experience and so different from cape town bc i DO have so many memories from my time there. my years in kathmandu helped to shape me into the person i am today, and it was so weird to walk some of the same streets i did as a teen, to eat the same food, to smell the same air...the scent memories were insane on this trip. it felt like i'd traveled back in time.

004. ethiopia—what a wild experience! i was only in addis for about 72 hours and had some lows and highs on this trip, from spending my first night in a sketch hotel on my own before switching over to the one all my colleagues were staying in. but this trip really showed me what's possible when on these trips for work. i really bonded with one of the people in cape town, a woman named soha, and we stuck together all through the tour—normally on these trips, especially the short ones like this, i'll stick closer to the hotel and maybe go out to dinner with some people. but soha led the charge and found a cultural dance show for us to go to, and coordinated between me and another woman to do a tour around the city grabbing coffee at a famous coffee shop, visiting a church we'd driven by, going to see lucy at the national museum of ethiopia, witnessing an authentic coffee ceremony, and getting massages before my 18+ hour flight home.

005. taiwan—learning from my experience in ethiopia in the spring, this fall i took soha's lessons and put them into practice. i was in the city for maybe...48 hours? if that? but i got a bunch of recommendations from the driver who picked me up at the airport and organized a small group of us to walk to a night market and try a bunch of new food. it was such a wonderful experience in a new country and i just loved my time there.

ask me my top 5 or 20 anything of 2023

Hillary meets Hillary

Liar, liar, pants suit on fire

Seeing the name Hillary in a headline last week—a headline about a life that had involved real achievement—I felt a mouse stirring in the attic of my memory. Eventually, I was able to recall how the two Hillarys had once been mentionable in the same breath. On a first-lady goodwill tour of Asia in April 1995—the kind of banal trip that she now claims as part of her foreign-policy 'experience'—Mrs. Clinton had been in Nepal and been briefly introduced to the late Sir Edmund Hillary, conqueror of Mount Everest. Ever ready to milk the moment, she announced that her mother had actually named her for this famous and intrepid explorer. The claim 'worked' well enough to be repeated at other stops and even showed up in Bill Clinton's memoirs almost a decade later, as one more instance of the gutsy tradition that undergirds the junior senator from New York.

Sen. Clinton was born in 1947, and Sir Edmund Hillary and his partner Tenzing Norgay did not ascend Mount Everest until 1953, so the story was self-evidently untrue and eventually yielded to fact-checking. Indeed, a spokeswoman for Sen. Clinton named Jennifer Hanley phrased it like this in a statement in October 2006, conceding that the tale was untrue but nonetheless charming: 'It was a sweet family story her mother shared to inspire greatness in her daughter, to great results I might add.'

Perfect. It worked, in other words, having been coined long after Sir Edmund became a bankable celebrity, but now its usefulness is exhausted and its untruth can safely be blamed on Mummy.
