 The
main attraction that draws people to this mystical land is the highest
point in the world, Mt. Everest; however the country
has so much more to offer. Trekking
is popular to Mt. Everest as well as in the Annapurnas
with the very popular Annapurna
Circuit and King's Way. |
| Tucked into the narrow cobblestone streets of Nepal's capital city, Kathmandu, there are an amazing amount of saced and historical sites as well as some incredible shopping and dining heavily influenced by the large Tibetan population. Across the river in Patan, Durbar Square is a fine example of Newari architecture with its intricately carved structures. The third city in the Kathmandu Valley, Bhaktapur, remains the most intact and provides visitors with a good glimpse of what Kathmandu looked and felt like decades ago. In western Nepal, the town of Pokhara offers stunning views of the Himalayas reflected in its lake. Pokhara has a nice village atmosphere with many small hotels and restaurants dotting the lake. This is where treks begin for the Annapurna Circuit. In the warm plains to the south, The Terai hosts Royal Chitwan National Park where visitors can take elelphant treks in search of endangered rhinos and tigers. |
