Nepal, an acronym for ‘Never Ending Peace and Love’, is a cultural powerhouse of the Himalayas. Sheltered by the majestic Himalayas, golden temples, charming hill villages and jungle wildlife, Nepal is special and populated by some of the most beautiful people on the planet. Kathmandu, the capital city, is a unique amalgamation of culture and modernity; famous for the old royal palace at Durbar Square, a UNESCO Heritage Site, now on the mend! The Kathmandu Valley in particular offers an unrivalled collection of world-class palaces, hidden backstreet shrines and sublime temple art. A visit to Swayambhunath (or Monkey temple) is an essential experience in Kathmandu. An adventurer’s paradise- trekking the rugged trails of the Everest, the Annapurnas and beyond, rafting on a roaring Nepali river or bungee jumping into a yawning Himalayan gorge, canoeing, climbing, kayaking, paragliding and mountain biking; Pokhara offers the perfect array of activities for that adrenaline kick. Spare a day to spot some wildlife at the Chitwan National Park. For the spirituals ones, enroll in a short course on Buddhist Studies or Tibetan at the Rangjung Yeshe Institute, stopping en route to visit the birthplace of Buddha on the steamy plains near Lumbini or Bhaktapur, with its cobbled streets and red-brick houses, temples and statues at every street corner. An enchanting blend of Hindu and Buddhist mysticism, Nepal is a peaceful land. Try the traditional Nepali and Tibetan cuisine; shaphale, chhoyla, momos, sel roti, dhindo! Nepal is just a step away from heaven; you can book your flights with MakeMyTrip India.
