Nepal sits in the lap of the Himalayas, home to eight of the world's fourteen highest peaks including Mount Everest. But Nepal is far more than mountains — it's a land of ancient temples, vibrant festivals, diverse wildlife, and some of the warmest people on the planet.
Trek to Everest Base Camp or the Annapurna Circuit, explore the medieval temples of Kathmandu's Durbar Square, discover the birthplace of Buddha in Lumbini, or go on a jungle safari in Chitwan National Park to spot one-horned rhinos and Bengal tigers. Nepal delivers adventure and spirituality in equal measure.

Nepal Insider Tips
Indian rupees in denominations of INR 100 and below are legally accepted in Nepal, but INR 500 and INR 2000 notes are banned, so exchange larger notes to NPR at Tribhuvan Airport before leaving.
Book your Everest mountain flight for the first slot of the morning (6:30-7:00 AM) as afternoon flights are frequently cancelled due to cloud cover over the Himalayas.
Skip the tourist buses between Kathmandu and Pokhara and take the 25-minute Buddha Air or Yeti Airlines flight instead — the aerial Himalaya views are worth the extra INR 7,000.
Carry a power bank and offline Maps.me downloads, as load-shedding still causes sporadic power cuts in Thamel and trekking regions rarely have reliable charging.
Negotiate taxi fares before getting in — Kathmandu taxis rarely use meters, and a ride from Thamel to Patan should cost around NPR 400-500.

Most Instagrammable Spots in Nepal
Boudhanath Stupa
The massive white dome with Buddha eyes glows golden at sunset; circle it clockwise with prayer wheels for the quintessential Nepal shot.
Phewa Lake, Pokhara
The Annapurna range reflects perfectly in the still morning water — rent a colorful wooden doonga boat at dawn for mirror-image photos.
Sarangkot Sunrise Viewpoint
Watch the first light turn Machhapuchhre and Annapurna pink from 1,600 metres above Pokhara — arrive by 5:30 AM.
Patan Durbar Square
Intricate Newari wood-carved temples and the golden Krishna Mandir make for striking heritage architecture shots, especially in the blue hour.
Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple)
The all-seeing Buddha eyes atop the stupa framed against Kathmandu valley is iconic, plus playful monkeys add character to the frame.
