I suggest you to be extremely careful if you are doing missionary stuff. Some group of people have become extremely hostile.Some radical hindu group even encourages locals to be hostile towards missionaries. Seen some facebook videos of villagers humiliating missionaries but if you are coming as tourist you shouldnt have such trouble.

I was in Nepal this summer. Just letting you know that it's the rain season in the summer months and it's gonna rain every day.

>rain every day.

All day every day, or maybe once a day for a half hour, or what?

I ask because I was in Cambodia during the rainy season last year, and was really worried about the time being rained out, but in the event it was the "It will rain somewhere near you every day, on you some days, once or twice it might be a real downpour."

Nepal and South Asia are extremely affordable.
You honestly shouldn't be spending over 20$ a day. I'd say transport is the most troublesome aspect of traveling in this part of the world, as gas can be expensive and so taxis aren't as affordable as food or board. Public transport is a mess, but the tourist buses in Nepal are fantastic, just be ready for 6-9 hour rides if you're leaving the Kathmandu valley.

The southermost parts of Nepal are extremely rainy during summer. Northermost part is on the other side of the peaks, doesn't get any and is very arid. I'm in love with Mustang. I always had a thing for those arid central asia landscapes. Next year i plan to go either in Kyrgystan, Tajikistan or Western Xinjiang. Probably Xinjiang as i have a very good chinese friend who might be interested in a long trip to visit some remote part of her native country. But i digress.

Gas can be expensive, if it is available, which was not always a given last year. It seems situation improved as India stopped actively blocking deliveries from what i gathered.

As for tourist buses, yeah, i took one from Kathmandu last year got stuck on some shitty road for some time due to a landslide, driver went to the other side, found another bus, exchanged passengers and luggages and everyone went on their way.
