Introduction

WELCOME TO THE BORDERLANDS GROUP’S october NEWSLETTER!

With the major festivals (Dasain, Tihar and Chhath) now over, the lives of the Nepalese people has somewhat returned to normal. With the peak season going on and winter just around the corner, a lot of hustle and bustle can be seen around the city. The streets of Thamel are full of tourists from all walks of life and we look forward to inviting more tourists to our beautiful country Nepal.
