Lata Kadel
Founder
Namaste, my name is Lata Tulachan. I was born and raised in Nepal, and have been living in Los Angeles, California for over 22 years now. I frequently
travel to Nepal to visit family and friends and during these visits, I've maintained a keen interest in buying products that promote Nepalese arts and
culture. About a year ago, I created a connection with the awe-inspiring beauty of the nature that surrounds the himalayan kingdom. In other words, I
used my so called "third eye" to see beyond the obvious; embracing, loving, and appreciating what my native country has to offer.
Once, an American friend of mine made a remark, saying "We were made to believe that Nepal is a poor country." Yet, Nepal is in fact rich in many ways. For instance; the people's deep connection to family-culture and history, as well as the pristine environment that wraps the country in a lush blanket of serenity and agricultural abundance........After experiences of my own, I hope to introduce Nepal to the world as a backdrop for self discovery & insight of your own!
