Traveling to Udayapur (eastern part of Nepal) was an adventure I’ve always wanted. This year during the Dashain vacation I had the chance to visit. I was so very excited to experience different lifestyles other than my own community.

I went to Udayapur with Roshany-sister from Maya. Her hometown is in a village in Udayapur disctrict. I saw Gaighat, the district capital, and it was slightly different from Damauli city (near Maya). Because it is so near the Indian border, things were very cheap and also all transportation was easily accessible.

On the 19th of September, our first members arrived in Kathmandu. We organized the trip from the 20th September until the 6th of October. With a diverse group (two British, one Spanish, one Nepali and four Dutch), we would travel through Nepal. Visiting the Maya Universe Academy, meeting Mayans who study in Kathmandu, going on a trek, jungle safari and raft camping. Our adventure started in Kathmandu where we explored the temples, culture and had dinner with the Mayans who now stay in Kathmandu for their studies.

Hi! We’re Isabel and Anne. Last July, we both graduated with a Bachelor’s degree in Dentistry from the University of Groningen.

Instead of jumping straight into our Master’s, we decided to explore a bit more of the world first and that’s how we ended up at Maya.
