Nepal, an independent republic since May of 2008, is an incredible destination for world travelers looking to experience a diverse culture. The area is full of incredible people, spectacular monuments, amazing architecture, and the occasional odd tourist attraction. Visitors will find plenty of welcoming people, tea-houses, and hotels during their travels as well. There’s really no reason to stay away from Nepal, especially if you’ve planned a safe trip in advance.
In Nepal, you may come for the Himalayas, but you stay for the food. Nepalese cuisine has influences from both the Chinese and Indian sides of its borders. Being in the middle of these two ancient cultures, you can be sure of two things: there’s going to be lots of rice and lots of spice.

Your food adventure begins right off the streets of Kathmandu, Nepal’s capital city. The street cuisine you can find almost everywhere is momo, a local variation of Chinese dumpling. Never leave the country without getting a taste of this popular round treat filled with chicken, vegetables, buffalo, or mutton.
