The recommended book

 Episode 13

A great book by Edyta Stępczak: “Burqa in Nepal is called a sari” was recently released in Poland. We are waiting for English translation!

I found the title of the book itself to be provocative. And it was the title that drew my attention, because it compared the beautiful and colourful sari with a burqa, which is very far from being a decorative garment. I felt that the author had to grapple with the subject personally and observe it closely.

Nepalese Porters in Himalayas

Episode 10

In this blog post, We would like to talk about porters in the Himalayas.

I remember my first stay in Nepal in 2013 and the meeting with the term: Nepalese porter. I remember hating the word: PORTER. I formed a bad association in my head. It seemed to me that a porter sounds like a servant or an underling.

Foundations operating in Nepal

Episode 8

A very delicate, sensitive subject... In 2013 I went to Nepal for the first time through a Polish-Nepalese agency. The trip could be considered successful. I thanked. I went with them for the second time and after the second trip, I decided to support English language learning of the daughter of a porter who accompanied me on the trek, and a friend of mine decided to subsidize the family of another porter with the amount of 1500 dollars. This was a 'targeted' subsidy.

When to go to the Himalayas

Episode 7

Well, this is a tough question, as I believe you can go there all year round, just pick different parts of Nepal in specific months.
However, if you’re aiming for the most popular treks – Annapurna Base Camp or Everest Base Camp, the best months will be March, April, May and the autumn months from October to December.

When I went to Nepal for the first time, I somehow discovered the world anew. I packed my bag at least four times, still not sure if I had everything, or maybe too much and some of it was not necessary. And how was I supposed to fit it all into one bag? Was this even possible?

Cheap trip to Nepal

Episode 4

One of the way to travel in the Himalayas on the budget is to go to Nepal without using the services of a guide and a porter.
