Why study hospitality in Nepal?

Nepal offers an unusual environment for tourism and hospitality students because the country combines mountain tourism, trekking, adventure tourism, cultural heritage, religious tourism and nature-based travel. For an international student, studying hospitality in Kathmandu can therefore provide exposure to a destination where tourism is an important part of the economy.
