Set in the heart of Himalaya, the kingdom of Nepal is awaiting you with some great water rafting opportunities, jungle safaris with elephant rides and probably the most spectacular trekking trails in the world.
Although renown as a mountaineer magnet, Nepal has more to offer to the traveler, so if you don’t feel much like climbing you can always take the opportunity to visit its temples and royal palaces, sink in a 2-3 days long Trance party near the Tibetan border or seek spiritual enlightenment in Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha.
But regardless of the path you chose to discover Nepal, you should not leave until enjoying an ancient massage session in one of the many centers in Kathmandu. |
