Overview :
Nepal Photos
The
Himalaya Kingdom of Nepal is a great destination. With its stunning
mountian views, including the world's highest peak Mount Everest (Everest
Region), its ancient culture with many fine examples of Budhhist art and
architecture and its great outdoor activities such as hiking and white
water rafting, Nepal is a dream come true.
Nepal can be visited easily from the neighbouring giant India. The people
of Nepal are quite relaxed, so the country offers a nice break from the
crowded Indian plains.
The capital city of Kathmandu is an inspiring place. It is packed with
temples and has a very friendly atmosphere. From Kathmandu, is is only a
short trip to the nearby Patan with its impressive Durbar square where
the past can be revived.
Bhaktapur is even older and offers some interesting insights into the
famous Newari architecture. Pashupatinath, the holiest city of Nepal, and
Bodnath, with the largest Stupa of Nepal and home to many members of the
Tibetan community, are an absolute must. |
If you want to have some astonishing views
of the mountain ranges, set off for Nagarkot or leave the Kathmandu
Valley for Pokhara. Pokhara has one of the most stunning settings in the
world. Mountains of 8 kilometers and up are all around it. You can also
go to the Everest Region where you can see Everest and other stunning
views of 'the roof of the world'. Royal chitwan national park offers some
unexpected wildlife for a mountain country: crocodiles & rhino's e.g. It
is possible to visit Tibet from Nepal, but you should try and get a
permit before setting off.
