The Fascination of Nepal

The Himalayan kingdom of Nepal is a land of scenic mountains, time-worn temples and some of the best walking trails on Earth. It's a small country, but it's rich in scenic splendour and exotic cultures. The people of Nepal are as diverse as their country and represent distinct cultures and races. though they speak a variety of tongues and practice different religions, they are the friendliest people that you would ever meet. The kingdom has long exerted a pull on the Western imagination and it's a difficult place to dislodge from your memory once you return.

Kathmandu Valley, with its thousands of Hindu temples, Buddhist stupas, stunning architecture and rich pageantry, is beyond words. While the capital city has its own entanglements, it can also offer an exotic urban experience.

Beyond Kathmandu is another world altogether. Most travelers to Nepal want to check out the truly spectacular Himalayas and the higher hills. While a few go to scale the high mountains, many others who are nature lovers trek along the landscapes filled with deep valleys, lush forests, snow trails, terraced fields, while meeting the most hospitable people imaginable.
