All those who remember Nepal in the late 80s, early 90s will remember it as an untouched, pristine, fairy tale land – an unspoiled kingdom with very limited tourism – visited mainly by mountaineers and trekkers heading towards Mount Everest. A destination that seemed to have held its own against fast galloping modernity that could be seen all around. It was a country that had the most amazing natural habitat and interesting buildings and all without the accompanying commercialisation that seemed part and parcel of all popular tourist destinations even back then.
