Nepal
When you’re looking for a trip that elevates you, you’re sure to get it in the highest country in the world.
Located in the Himalayan mountains, Nepal is home to the highest peak on Earth -- Mount Everest -- and the nickname “the rooftop of the world.” Here are just a few things you can expect to see and do when you travel to Nepal.
What to Do
Like climbing and mountaineering? You’ll fit right in when you travel to Nepal. Many visitors come to try to tackle the summit of Mount Everest, while others are comfortable tackling lesser climbs such as Annapurna that still challenge the body and mind. If you’re not into the snow-capped trekking, you might like an adventure into the jungle instead. Chitwan National Park is home to tigers, rhinos and crocodiles -- which you can see with the help of a trusted guide to lead the way. Traveling with a guide will also make it easier to make friends, and don’t be surprised if you’re invited into someone’s home for a snack and conversation.
Nepal is also a spiritual place. The country is known as the birthplace of Gautama, the Buddha himself, and you can visit his former home at the temple of Lumbini. You can also tour numerous Hindu temples that dot the mountains and lowlands.
Where to Stay
Temples abound in Nepal -- so why not choose one when you’re looking for a place to stay? Need a place to relax, have a swim and get a massage? The cities including Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Bandipur have a little of everything. And even when you choose an actual temple as the place you’ll lay your head, you’ll find that hotels and other accommodations in Nepal are some of the most affordable in the world. With a wide selection of high-end hotels as well as affordable guest houses and backpacker hostels, there’s something for every taste and budget in Nepal.
What to Eat
If you enjoy Indian spices and curries, then you’re likely to enjoy the food in Nepal. Lentils, potatoes and yogurts are standard staples in Nepal, often served with an array of brightly-colored spices. Delicious, and nutritious!
