Now, let me share my personal experience with all of you on the interesting places in this beautiful country- Nepal.   The capital city Katmandu, is a melting pot of various nationalities and cultures. The people enjoy a rich heritage of unique architectural palaces, temples and courtyards.

It boasts a unique symbiosis of Hinduism, Buddhism as well as Tantrism. The effect of these religious influences could be openly seen in the city.

The most ancient and enigmatic of all is the Valley's holy shrines which lie west of Katmandu known as " Swayambhunath Stupa " - is a world heritage site. The golden spine crowns a wooden hillock offers a commanding view of the city.

In contrast, a hill resort called Pokhara which is located 200 KM west of Katmandu is a remarkable place of nature beauty, commonly known as " Switzerland of the East " .

The enchanting city at an altitude of 827 meters from the sea level has several beautiful lakes and offer stunning panaromic view of the Himalayan Peaks. If you are lucky on a clear day you can have a good view of Mount Everest. The serenity of lakes and the magnificence of the Himalaya rising behind them create an ambience of peace and magic

It is truly a memorable experience for me to have the opportunity touring the country and to attend and share our experiences at the convention and meeting other AOTS Alumni members.

My heart felt gratitude to the great host, Nepal AOTS Alumni   Society (NAAS) for their warm hospitality extended to us throughout our stay.
