Heritage
Stupas at Swayambhunath and Boudhanath, medieval squares in Kathmandu Valley, and elegant woodcarvings reflect living traditions.
Destination Overview
Nepal stretches from subtropical plains to the Himalaya’s highest peaks. Visitors come for trekking, wildlife, heritage sites and the warmth of everyday life in lanes, markets and tea houses.
Nature
Eight of the world’s 8,000-metre peaks, jungle reserves like Chitwan and Bardiya, and tranquil lakes around Pokhara.
Practicalities
Carry cash, hydrate well at altitude, and travel off-peak for quieter trails. Dress modestly when visiting temples and monasteries.
Getting Around
Domestic flights link major hubs; tourist buses and private jeeps serve trekking gateways. Allow buffer days for weather in the mountains.
