I think that it is time for Nepal to stop only asking for help/donations from other countries. I think that Nepal should also start to give something to the world. If you want to be respected, then you also need to give something. Nobody respects a beggar!

Nepal does send young laborers and Gurkha soldiers, but it is for jobs. If we take these out of the equation, what does Nepal provide to the world? Nepal doesn't invent anything. There is one thing that Nepal can provide is the majestic views of the Himalayas. But, the Himalayas is not accessible to everyone. Only motivated trekkers go to the Himalayas due to lack of cable cars.

Also, during my trek to Annapurna Base Camp, I found out that only people from that region can open a hotel there. As a result, there are less hotels and the service wasn't very nice. I think that if we open these Himalayan areas for business to all Nepali people, a lot of young Nepali people would not have to go to the middle East for work. The Middle East made money by selling Oil. Similarly, Nepal can make money by selling the Himalayas.

I think that it is high time for Nepal to make these Himalayas accessible for regular tourists and make money. Only then Nepal can be a self sustaining country. Nepal is in no position to compete technically for ateast next 20 years. The Himalayas is one commodity that Nepal has for now.
