Finally going to Nepal after 15 years. Leaving in couple weeks...Will be there for 40 days.. I was 19 when I first came here, wondering what has changed how it will be... anybody here with similar experience plz share..
Any suggestions on travel, and places to see??
Thanks..

I am in Nepal after a decade. Things has changed. Roads are narrow and dusty, price of food is similar as in USA, we get tired with couple of visits in city and a crore (100K) is not enough to own a property in major cities.

Everybody will ask "How many years you stayed in State and why it took so long to come back Nepal ?" . "Can you sponsor to bring your relatives to US ? " Some people ask how much money we have and how much we make a month.

Kids we saw before became parents. All farming land in Pokhara and Kathmandu are covered with new houses. We don't have enough courage to ride/drive vehicles on roads. Hunking is normal.

The only thing I am enjoying is moments with my parents. I have hiked few places.

Overall I feel like "Am I missing any opportunity in Nepal or am I not doing better enough in USA ?"

For a week, you'll be in shock, you might have mixed feeling of depression and hopelessness. After a while, you'll like it. By the time, you start to like it there, you'll be preparing to head back, and once in US, you'll have another mixed feeling of depression and hopelessness which eventually goes away.

If you ever go to Kathmandu now, they've this Thali restaurants everywhere. I still miss it, when you are there, don't miss it, Enjoy their food. Feels like homemade :)

Oho kati dherai sujhaav haru!!! Dhanyabaad sabai sathi haru lai.. way excited ... ;D

dont froget to share your experience when you come back though.

All of these suggestions and experiences are making me feel nostalgic. The sheer number of reply to this simple question in this thread shows how much people here miss their home/home country. All of us would like to return but there are many obligations and responsibilities that are stopping us from going home permanently.

भौते काजी साहेब , यहाको यात्रा रमाइलो र स्मरणीय होस् /
शुभकामना !

लजालू नानी , कहा अशिमे कुकुर लाइ तपाई र हजूर लाइ रा । यो माओबादी को भुस्स्याहा कुकुर हो के । बेला बेला आएर भूकी रहन्छ । येलाइ तपाई हजूर जी भन्नु त्यों सब्द को अपमान हो । येस्ता लाइ त भैरब नाथ गण लागेर बोरा मा प्याक गरेर झुण्ड्याउदै खुर्सानी सुगायेर लाताई लात ले भर्कुर्न पर्छ अनि पो बुज्छ ।

I wish realities are as good as Ashime's presented pictures. Traffic is like a hockey game and dust is like smoke from BBQ.

I was in Kathmandu recently after a long break. The biggest change that you will notice is the people. 15 years ago the demographics used to be less diverse and now it is diverse to the extent it has changed the whole experience. You see a lot of madhesi and pahadi faces no offence to the madhesi and pahadi community. The place feels different and not the same. With time, even friends have changed their priorities to be more into earning and saving money. All in all it is always a fun experience and you realize how much you have missed by living in a foreign land.

काम कुर्सीमा बसेर गर्ने मात्रै हो ठान्ने हरु को संख्या घटेर गएको छ | बिबिध ब्यबसायको बिकास भएको छ | बाटो साङ्गुरेइको छ : मानिस र बाहन उत्तिकै बढेका छन् | सानो छदा पास्चातेली हरु self -centered हुन्छन भन्थे तेही हावा नेपाल पुगे जस्तो लाग्छ |
झलमल बाटो भएर के गर्नु घर कोठा १६-१७ घण्टा अध्यारो छ : पानि को समस्या तेस्तै छ : गाउले लाइ जिस्काए जस्तो गर्छ,  बाटो बत्ति बालेर देश सिंगापुर जस्तो देखिएको छ , विकास भै हाल्यो नि ?

I am surprised to see how close the Solar power poles are, it seems they are standing 7-10 meter apart? Was it necessary ?

Are you there yet? You going after all the festivals are over? That will be so boring dude. Dashai tihar ko ramjham nai dekna napaine bho brother even after 15 years. what a plan you made.
