Before I left the US with the Peace Corps for Nepal, I spent a number of hours (a large number) finding information about Nepal, the Peace Corps, about possibly what I could expect.
Below are some of the links that I found on Peace Corps, Nepal, and/or the Peace Corps in Nepal. As just as my blog is not a definitive source on anything, this list should be considered incomplete.
