Covered in the mist of the great Himalayas, Nepal is the country where the freezing climate of the mountains meets the steamy heat of the Indian sub-continent. Here you will find some of the rare animal species, Buddhist Stupas and Sherpas and some of the best trekking in the world. You will surely be amazed to see the world-class artistic and architectural heritage of Kathmandu Valley in the heart of Himalayas, especially in Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur.
Firstly how to get to Nepal? The only international airport of the country is in the capital Kathmandu. There are not many direct flights to the airport; most of the flights go via India either through its Delhi or Mumbai Airport. You can search for cheap flights to Kathmandu that suit you and the chances of getting them depends upon the season in which you are planning to travel.
There are a lot of sites that you can visit in and around the city including the shrines, temples, palaces and other historical buildings. But you already know the biggest attraction is the great Himalayas, with the world’s highest peak Mount Everest. There are a lot of trekking opportunities even if you are not a professional and trained mountaineer. Of course, not all of us can climb 8000-meter high peak, but one can always enjoy adventurous trekking to the base camps of these high mountains.
The Chitwan National Park is home to the rare species of tiger and rhino, and a guided tour to the park in the presence of trained rangers can provide you with some of the best pictures for your album back home. Nepal is also a great place for adventure sports like kayaking, rafting and mountain biking.
You will find the local people of Nepal friendly and open, try out the palace restaurants where food is served while cultural drum music is played in the background. Nepal is surely a place you will not want to miss if you are fascinated by mountains and adventure. So book yourself a direct flight to Kathmandu and enjoy your time there.
