The first thing on my list of 20 amazing things and/or places about Nepal. p.s- this is not a ranking.
Jazzmandu:
One of the fastest growing tourist attractions in Kathmandu is the Kathmandu Jazz Festival, a.k.a Jazzmandu. Since its inception eight years ago, this festival has slowly begun to cement its place in the “Kathmandu experience”. The festival features local and international bands, and has seen the likes of : Trilok Gurtu Don Burrows, Jesse Van Ruller, Adrian D Souza Quartet, Cadenza Collective, Kutumba, Gandharva, Natalie Williams, Urban Connection.
Jazzmandu is an excellent example of the ever molding face of the Nepali culture and is a must for all; foreign tourists and Nepalis alike. The festival promotes peace and cultural interaction and has positively put Nepal on the Jazz map.
The most impressive thing about this festival is that it bridges so many gaps. It bridges the gap between different cultures around the globe, and the gap between traditional and progressive Nepal; all the while being non-political and (even more important) cool.
