7 Reasons You Should Visit Nepal
“We are not a tree, we are not meant to be in one place so Move. Change. Travel.” — unknown
I began to love traveling and to enjoy my profession more after I heard that famous quote. It is true, we are not meant to be in the same place for a lifetime. We're given life to make a difference, to experience the world, to meet new people and to help people!
Here are seven reasons you should travel to Nepal, to really enhance your life.

A Look Back on Guiding the WMS Team
It has been five years since I decided I wanted to become a trekking guide. My journey started by being a porter. Even though I have many connections in the trekking and tourism industry, I wanted to fulfill the role of a porter, to experience the life and the pain.
In the beginning, it was extremely hard. I had to carry a 30-kilogram load on my back with a rope that went around my forehead. However it was my first trek, and I felt excited and happy. I was going to be trekking to the Throng La Pass, the world's highest pass at 5416 meters!
Traditional Sherpa Fashion
My name is Ang Diku Sherpa. I live with my family in Kapan, Kathmandu. There are six in my family: Papa (Father), Aama (Mother), 3 vai (brothers) and, of course, I cannot forget my cute dog, Chindu.
I love my family and I am blessed to have them. I enjoy traveling, singing, dancing and much more. At the moment I am both studying and working for Peak Promotion Pvt. Ltd.
