Project Areas

Country, culture and People in Nepal

Since 2009 Back to Life has been working in Nepal, a culturally very diverse country with great nature, flora and fauna. We would like to introduce you to the country and its people and give you an insight into life in our project areas from the high mountains to the Terai. This way you can also understand why and how we work on site. Follow the travelogues or read about traditions, rites, festivals. Travel with us imaginary into the small Himalayan country.
