NEPAL
Nestled away in the lap of the Himalayas, Nepal is home to eight of the world’s tallest mountains – including Mount Everest – the world's highest peak. Full of sights to behold, the world-renowned UNESCO heritage sites in Kathmandu, Bhaktapur and Patan are an unmissable highlight in the country.
With its plethora of archaic temples and monasteries, thrilling hiking and trekking trails through quaint villages that display their old-world charm, exhilarating white water rafting and exciting jungle safaris in the national parks, a traveller may fall short of time, but not magical wonders to experience in the Land of the Himalayas!
Nepalese culture draws heavy influence from two of its most practised religions- Hinduism and Buddhism. The country is always painted in festive fervour, celebrating vibrant festivals, including Holi, Diwali, Dashain, and Buddha Jayanti. Nepal preserves and displays its culture through folk dances, songs, lore, and crafts. The Dhaka Topi is an elegant accessory for men used across the country to symbolise Nepalese nationality and immense pride.
The frigid state of Nepal offers a flavorful cuisine that combats the chill and leaves you feeling warm and cosy on the inside. With Indian and Tibetan influence, the traditional Nepalese platter includes momos, traditional sel roti, rice, and lentils. Kathmandu’s local markets are the best place to set out on your journey to discover Nepal’s tantalising flavors. Travellers can take a quick break on their trip around the capital city, chatting with locals and understanding the true essence of Nepal!
One only needs to observe its architecture to take a trip back in time and explore ancient Nepal. The well-constructed and preserved monuments are no short of art and display the influence of Newar-style constructions. The simplistic designs made using locally sourced materials while considering the challenging terrain are a testament to finding beauty in the ordinary.
