world (all over 8,000 meters) including the eminent one, Everest at 8,848
meters.
You can always go trekking as there is a wide range of destinations from easy
to difficult. Some popular treks in Nepal are Everest Base Camp, Annapurna
Circuit, Manaslu trek, Makalu Base Camp, Mardi Himal trek, Upper Dolpa, Upper
Mustang, Kanchenjunga Base Camp, and Ghorepani Poon Hill.
Visit National Parks
Nepal is a nation of great geographical and geological diversity, from the
warm, steamy plains bordering India to the mid-hills to the elevated,
snow-capped Himalayas. Nepal's national parks and wildlife reserves are worth
touring with amazing landscapes, scarce and lovely wildlife, and plenty of
indigenous flora. Here are listed a few best national parks in Nepal.

Go for Adventures and Sports
With its unique topography and diverse geography, Nepal has high hills, rugged
terrains, ridges, glaciers, and gorges which are perfect for thrilling
adventures and sports.
Paragliding in Pokhara is jaw-dropping, bungee jumping in Bhote Koshi is
exhilarating, rafting in Trishuli is out of the world, and skydiving from
Everest is phenomenal; these are just some highlights of activities. Once you
are into discovering them, you won’t stop till you have them all. Zip flyers,
mountain biking, rock climbing, kayaking, and ultra-flight are some much-loved
sports in Nepal.
Visit World Heritage Sites
Nepal harbors some of the world's most distinctive and beautiful architectural
pieces enlisted in Nepal as a world heritage site; eight of them are cultural,
and two are natural heritage (national parks).
Some of these heritages are ancient palaces and courtyards, some are religious
sites, and some are historical sites. It is not every day you visit a small and
accessible country with so many world heritage lists. Kathmandu Durbar Square,
Patan Durbar Square, Bhaktapur Durbar Square, Changu Narayan, Pashupatinath,
Boudhanath, Swayambhunath, and Lumbini are the eight cultural heritage sites,
while Sagarmatha and Chitwan National Park are the two natural heritage sites
in Nepal.
Try Traditional Nepalese Cuisine
Nepalese cuisine has the finest and most distinctive flavor quality. Not only
is Nepalese cuisine wealthy in flavor, but it also represents a broad range of
cultures and traditions. The tasty and healthy signature foods of Nepal will surprise you with
their exquisite variety of cuisines. Some of you should go hunting and try are
Dal Bhat Tarkari, Momo, Chattamari, Dheedo, Newari Khaja Set, Yomari, Sel, and
more.
Village Tours
More than 70% of Nepal is a village where you can see the real picture of
Nepal. Passing along these villages, put your hands together and say 'Namaste' to
these people, who will return the gesture with the most innocent and welcoming
smile.
Nepal's villages are charming with various religious, cultural, racial, and
ethnic groups. You will find it fascinating how these people have adapted to
their environment in their ways as the inaccessibility in these places is very
frustrating. You will see ox plowing the field, blacksmiths making the tools,
and foods still cooked in firewood.
After visiting villages, you will get a bigger picture of Nepal with a different
understanding. They are the living and breathing museum one must not miss
witnessing. Tall buildings, comfortable lifestyles, busy and crowded streets,
smog, and pollution in city areas tell a different story, but you will see the
real side in villages.
