ani izen, if you are interested in this, maybe it's still worth contacting them for more info. the worst that could happen is they say you are too old! (;-D) i had lived in chirtungdhara vdc. between bartung and aryabhanjyang, alikati east from tansen. but palpa is also my favorite destination- it's sooo beautiful and the majority of palpalis are so incredibly warm and friendly and super ramailo! palpa has such a strong history and it is such a unique part of nepal- dhaka, karuwas, coffee, newar windows.... an amazing and magical place indeed!
