Nepal

For over 30 years, Nepal has attracted the adventurous traveler, drawn by the prospect of conquering its immense peaks including the Annapurna range and the mighty Everest itself. But Nepal’s appeal is wider than just to aspiring mountaineers and adrenaline sports lovers. Kathmandu, the nation’s capital, is colorful and vibrant, offering a treasure trove of ancient shrines and temples to explore. Pokhara is a fascinating lakeside town in the shadow of the imposing Annapurna’s while to the south, you can trek on elephants and search for one horned Indian rhino or the rare Royal Bengal tiger. For those seeking inner fulfillment and inner karma, Nepal does not disappoint. This is the birthplace of Buddha and the spiritual home of Lord Shiva, while the Nepalese people’s joyous love of life can be experienced first hand during the virtually endless calendar of festivals and celebrations that take place throughout the year.
