Subject matter might change but destination will never change in heart of traveler. Hello and warm good morning from Nepal. I just want to share some tips during the travel period of Himalayas Especially in Nepal.
The June to ending of August; season monsoon before making your travel plan please considered the following points.

Mountain flight best option for traveler but do not book during the monsoon season.The weather is no clear and flight might cancel often. It is so boring and ruin your travel time
Water adventure often not a good option for travel. But many adventure lover take part in adventure tour by their own risk. But I suggested not to do any water activities in river, it is too risky
Often the high way route are affected by landslide so before travel your destination do not forget to ask your agents about condition of road or affected area
What about the trekking and as you know trekking option is good option one can do trek. Do not do trek alone in high regions.

Hope it will help and find some travelling tips.

For me, Boudhanath is about finding out the pure unbroken culture passing towards their generation.

The Big Circle Stupa, people making clockwise rounding the stupa. Be the part of hassle and dazzle of local people, sharing their lifestyle with you. See all the antics pieces related to Buddhism.

 The town, Little Tibet for you, one who miss Tibet.

 It will always welcome you modernization and globalization, can get traditional food to western food, just name it. Watching this place and comes often with my camera, take some shots.

It is common one is able to see people taking self fie and gathering point for everyone. If you see the sky, howling sound of prayers flag. Music of Buddhism and local murmuring sound always inspire you to sit for while with music


Home of Peace, sweetness, and gathering
