Conversations spark ideas and ideas lead to actions that drive the growth of society. I believe long and unfiltered deep conversation is a lost art in this nearly perfectly presented world. And this is my attempt to have real conversations with real minds and present them to you. The goal is to learn from the greatest minds and take you on the journey.

I was looking for interview about Nepali culture & tradition. Thanks, found it while searching

[neerajpokharel]

Hear inspiring and thought-provoking podcasts. I love the sincerity of the person dedicated to honouring the culture and traditions of our local artists. We should have more people like him come to the podcast. It encourages people to understand the importance of having creativity and traditions as a key part of our identity as Nepali.

Nepal has a very bad reputation tourism wise in foreigners:
1. Safety( they don't feel safe to fly, walk, drive)
2. Scams( almost every foreigner feels scammed at every corner)
3. Expensive( Nepal was supposed to be cheap and beautiful maybe like thailand or bali but nepal is as expensive as first world country with no service)
