Visit Nepal: Trekking, Community Engagement, Spirituality, Arts & Festivals with Guest: Aayusha Prasain

“Spirituality is in very little things, and it’s about the shared happiness and warmth of the community.” Aayusha Prasain

If you’ve been dreaming of Nepal and want something deeper than a standard tour, how about a cultural or trekking adventure staying in a family home where a grandmother teaches you to roll momos by hand, or a morning where a local artisan shows you the ancient art of Thangka painting.

All this and more in my interview with Aayusha Prasain, the visionary CEO of the Community Homestay Network, an organization changing how the world experiences Nepal. Aayusha’s organization connects travelers directly with local Nepali communities, creating rich, authentic experiences that benefit both visitor and host. 

What moves me most about Aayusha’s work is her philosophy. As she told me on the podcast: “Sustainability means making a place enjoyable not just for travelers, but for the next generation living there.” And: “We are trying to change the narrative and bring communities as collaborators in tourism experiences.” That’s not just good travel — that is travel with a conscience.

Whether you’re a seasoned adventurer or a cultural curious, this episode will inspire your next journey.
