Nepal: Updates & Travel

Travel in Laos

• One of the world's top travel destinations with Kathmandu, the friendliest capital in the world, the Himalayas with the almost 9,000 meter high Mount Everest, the treks you can make through the breathtaking Annapurna range, the Royal Chitwan nature park where you can watch the wild rhinos and tigers from the elephants and rafting on the wild rivers.
• In Nepal you can make beautiful treks. The classic Everest Base Camp trek is one of them. This trek lasts 14-20 days and starts in Jiri or Lukla. The route leads you through the beautiful Sagar Matha national park, along various mountain villages, and a beautiful temple in Tenpoche.
• If you want to see a piece of Tibet in Nepal, you should make the trek to Mustang. Despite the many limitations, it is certainly worth it.
• The Annapurna Circuit Trek is the most popular trek in Nepal, and that is not without reason. The surroundings are beautiful and it is therefore advisable to take the time for excursions, especially in the area around Manang.
• Furthermore, rafting on the wild rivers is one of the most spectacular activities you can do in Nepal, for example on the Bhote Kosi. There are unimaginable trips that are so cool that you will not sleep a wink in the evening.
• In the north of Nepal lies the Chitwan National Park. The nature reserve is known for its varied nature and enormous diversity of birds and other animals. Here you will see the 'other Nepal', where you can see elephants, rhinos and tigers in the wild.
• Kathmandu, the city of temples, is one of the most travel-friendly cities in Asia. There is cheap accommodation and food. Around the center of the city, Durbar Square, are the royal palace Hanuman Dhoka, the Taleju temple and the house of Kumari, the living goddess. In the Kathmandu Valley lie the two royal cities, Patan and Bhaktapur with their magnificent architecture. Near Kathmandu in Bodhnath stands one of the largest stupas in the world.
• Pokhara: 6 hours by bus west of Kathmandu. This lakeside town still attracts many mountain climbers who are just returning or preparing for the Annapurna. You can go canoeing, buy climbing equipment or just eat brownies in the café and watch the crowd.
• Chitwan, where you can go canoeing and spot rhinos, tigers and many birds in the jungle.
• Lumbini, the birthplace of Buddha! Visit if you are interested in Buddhism.
• Be aware that many travellers contract parasites, so be aware of this. Fortunately, you can get rid of them quickly with a course of antibiotics.
• Be prepared the earthquakes, the first of which occurred in April 2015, have destroyed a number of monuments.
