I learned so much about my soon to be home for the next two years! The structure and flow of the book was great for understanding the history and culture of this incredible country!

I picked up this book before setting off for Nepal for a week. This book is a short read and walks you through Nepal's history, people, and culture both in-depth and on a surface level as and when necessary. Gave me a good understanding of how and why some things are the way they are in Nepal. All in all, a good read but only if you're planning to visit Nepal, otherwise it's essentially an abridged version of a Lonely Planet.

great to read while here in Nepal doing Everest base camp!!!

I found it quite useful with lots of small valuable details about Nepalese customs and culture. It was nice to read a guide book that was not solely targeted tourists but also people working in the country.
I listened to the audio book, which was pleasant

As my solution to any possible situation seems to be either to read a book or learn a new language, this one was the first upon starting in a Nepal project (also started to learn Nepali, don’t worry). A great way to start this journey, a coherent work filled with basic knowledge.

An excellent little guidebook. Very easy to read and find the sections of relevance and interest. It's packed full of useful information that you can't find anywhere else and gives you all the information you need to feel confident in your new surroundings and for interacting with the local people.
