How you would actually start
Check whether the promise holds
“The world's only carbon-negative country, where 'gross national happiness' is a policy metric. The Himalayas without the crowds.” That is the pitch. Spend an hour on first-hand accounts rather than listicles — what it costs, how long it really takes, and what people wish they had known.
Work out when to go
Monsoon and dry season matter more than temperature here; check which months you want.
Find the small version first
Somewhere nearer will tell you whether you actually like this kind of trip, for a fraction of the cost.
Put it somewhere you will see it
An intention you have not written down is a mood. A list you revisit is a decision you keep making.
