"The friendliness of the Nepalese, their spiritual practices and belief, the social nature of the culture, and the way that they care for you - I have far more friends and family in Nepal in the US (my wife is a Hindu Nepalese, bahun caste)," said another expat in Kathmandu, Nepal.
"Expats in Kathmandu appreciate the city's rich cultural heritage, which is evident in its vibrant festivals, colorful traditional dress, and diverse cuisine. They also enjoy the friendly and welcoming nature of the local people, who are always willing to share their culture and customs with visitors.
