Nagpur to Nepal

Nagpur or Nagpore is the third largest and also the third most industrialised city in Maharashtra. It has been nicknamed as the 'Orange City' for being a major trader of Nagpur oranges. The city plays host to a number of cultural events held by various societies throughout the year. The South Central Cultural Centre is a promoter for events like the Orange City Craft Mela and folk dance festival. Here, every year, the government of Maharashtra organises a week-long Kalidas Festival that is marked with folk song and dance performances. One of the major attractions of this city is the Nagpur Central Museum. Established in 1863, this museum, through a huge collection of pre-historic artefacts, gives a detailed insight into the glorious history of the place. The presence of a number of lakes greatly enhances the beauty of the city. The Futala Lake and Shukrawari Lake, located right in the heart of the city are the most popular lakes where tourists can enjoy picnics or simply soak in the beauty. There are many places of religious importance as well, such as the Bohra Masjid, Telankhedi Hanuman Temple & Gardens, Telankhedi Shiv Mandir, and Ramtek Fort Temple.

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!
