Nepal: A brief guide
Nepal

Nepal is home to some of the most awe-inspiring scenery on earth. From the ancient and holy city of Kathmandu, to the majesty of Mount Everest this country is breathtaking in everyway. The country has an ancient culture evident in the temples and stupas, warm and welcoming people and a traditional way of life unchanged for centuries.

Most people come to Nepal to see and walk in the beautiful Himalayas in all their glory. You don’t have to be an experience mountain climber to enjoy Nepal as there are lots of temples to visit, day-walks in stunning scenery, wildlife to spot and towns such as Pokhara to visit. However as Nepal is at high altitude and much of the highlights are only accessible on foot we do recommend you be fit and healthy!
