A Call to Adventure and Discovery
Nestled in the hollow of the Himalayas, Nepal is one of the world's trekking paradises. The roof of the world is home to the most prestigious peaks, including the most famous and highest of all, Mount Everest. Eight of the world's ten highest mountains are located in Nepal and form a natural border with Tibet. For a long time, these mountains have been the playground of renowned mountaineers, pushing the limits of the impossible further and further during heavy expeditions. Today, trekkers come from all over the world to explore the Nepalese trails and approach these mythical mountains. If Everest remains the Mecca of Himalayan trekking, there are many promising and accessible hiking trails in the country, often much less frequented. There is something for all levels and timings!
Must-see Sites to Discover
The Swayambhunath stupa overlooking Kathmandu is one of the oldest Buddhist temples in the country. Particularly imposing, it dominates the entire Kathmandu valley. It is crowned by a majestic stupa featuring the eyes of Buddha on a cubic base.
The Annapurna Circuit is a must for high-level trekkers. The Annapurna is a mountain range in the Himalayas composed of six peaks, the highest of which reaches 8091 meters, making it the tenth highest peak in the world. But Nepal is also home to the impressive Mount Everest. The viewpoints of Kala Pattar (5630 m) and Gokyo Ri (5340 m) offer magnificent panoramas requiring gradual acclimatization. A classic trek remains the journey to Everest Base Camp.
The turquoise lakes of Gokyo, located between 4700 and 5000 meters, comprise six main lakes and are often included in trekking circuits in Nepal.
Discovery of Nepal: Hidden Treasures off the Beaten Path
Nepal is rich in diverse wildlife. You will encounter many animals in the national parks of Chitwan or Bardia, such as rhinoceroses, elephants, and the famous tigers. Bardia National Park has the advantage of being less touristy because it is more difficult to access than Chitwan. But rest assured, local agencies will be able to take you there without a hitch.
Mustang is a former independent kingdom of the Himalayas, annexed to Nepal since 1951 but very close to Tibet culturally. This region is highly prized for trekking due to its contrasting landscapes between desert areas and snow-capped peaks of the Annapurnas and Dhaulagiri.
Composed of a multitude of ethnic groups with preserved traditions, Nepal offers beautiful socio-cultural discoveries. It is possible to meet these different ethnic groups in their villages, including the Tharu in the Terai and Chitwan National Park, and the Gurung in the Pokhara region on the southern side of the Himalayas.
Invitation to Adventure Sports in Nepal
The usual excuses that prevent you from diving into extreme sports won't hold up against the enchanting landscapes of Nepal's rivers and valleys. It's the perfect time to try paragliding in Pokhara, or rafting and kayaking in the Kathmandu valley, on the road to Pokhara, or towards Chitwan Park. Perhaps you'd prefer a high jump or a parachute jump? In Nepal, everything is possible for thrill-seekers.
Observe wildlife in optimal conditions
With more than 850 species of birds, including cranes and pelicans, Nepal stands out from many countries in terms of wildlife. But that's not all! There are also rhinoceroses, domesticated or wild elephants, crocodiles, yaks, the legendary snow leopards, cobras, and other large lizards. Finally, the star with soft fur but menacing jaws: the tiger! Keep your eyes wide open because this is where it all happens.
An Opportunity to Roll Up Your Sleeves
Traveling to Nepal and thus contributing to the survival of the tourism sector is already adding a small stone to the building for this country that suffered a terrible earthquake in April 2015 to rebuild. Especially since at present, one might almost have forgotten this event because the Nepalese have worked hard (and are still working) to make the scars of this disaster disappear. Of course, there are always things to do, especially concerning the private homes of the less fortunate.
Therefore, if you feel inclined, Nepal offers you the opportunity to reactivate your skills in manual work. Associations offer organized trips, but it is entirely possible to go alone. Once in Nepal, talk about it with those around you and you will see that your encounters will quickly lead you to a place where they will be delighted for you to lend a hand.
