Dharan, eastern Nepal

Anthropology background Culture, festivals, food, wildlife Respectful, well-sourced Eastern Nepal

Maya studied anthropology before she studied trekking. She writes the festivals, the food, the living heritage and the wildlife — the why behind what you are looking at. From a Kirat family in the east, she is curious about every other community she writes about, and careful with all of them.
