From designer suits to choreographed dances to party themes – irrespective of the culture and background – every individual hope to make their wedding day an unforgettable one for themselves and their guests.
A trend that is really catching on these days is that of planning a destination wedding. While countries like Italy and Greece have served as timeless options, many couples are also venturing out to the savannas of Africa and royal forts of India, setting an example for a truly exotic destination wedding. Nepal, on the other hand is relatively unfamiliar with this phenomenon. Traditionally known to be a perfect destination for trekking and mountaineering, this locked up small nation has more than just mountains to offer travelers.
