Taste of Nepal (Cookbook) - 0 views

  •  
    This cookbook contains many wonderful recipes, as well as commentary on Nepali life and eating culture. It was essential for me upon arriving home from Nepal, as I wanted to cook the foods I had been eating over there but did not having many recipes. It also translates many common ingredient names from Nepali into English, which was very helpful.

    A wonderful monastery located in the Kathmandu valley of Nepal. Holds retreats for people of all ethnicities and educates many local boys to be monks as well. I participated in an 8 day retreat there and learned a lot about the tenants of Buddhism from a English-speaking tibetan monk.

Next Generation Nepal - 0 views

  •  
    A wonderful organization that seeks to educate tourists about the dangers of volunteering in a foreign country. The primary mission of NGN is to return trafficked 'orphans' to their families, and expose the corruption around many so-called 'orphanages'. This was an eye-opening lesson for me, and one I hope to spread as far as I can.

    We stayed here for a week and volunteered. The atmosphere was wonderful, the people were amazing, and the food was the best I had in Nepal. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone who is looking to volunteer in Nepal as an ethical solution to volunteering in orphanages, which are often corrupt.

The Snow Leopard - 0 views

  •  
    This book was a great way to get excited for trekking, and to explore how Buddhism can be integrated into everyday life. I was staying in Nepal on the same dates as some of the entries were written, so it was very cool to be reading it day by day. Also, it explored aspects of Nepali culture in the 70's that were radically different now, and it was quite cool to see the overlap.
