Having never been to nepal I can't comment on the accuracy this book reflects of the nepalese culture, however the great detail of every part of this book has lead me to give it four stars.
The author of this book only lived in nepal for two years, this made me quite dubious. However as I read through this book and leart more and more about nepal and the nepalese I realised the author knew her stuff and had given a thourough representation of the subject matter.
A small book, but jam packed with facts, figures, trivia and useful information. Especially useful to anybody going for a short period as it highlights all of the religious festivals and holiday dates which you may wish to be a part of or avoid.
