Nepal, officially the Federal Democratic Republic of Nepal, also Republic of Nepal, is a landlocked country in South Asia. It is bordered by China to the north and by India to the south, east and west. The Himalaya mountain range runs across Nepal's northern and western parts, and eight of the world's ten highest mountains, including the highest, Mount Everest, are within its territory.
Nepal is possibly the world's greatest destination for doing outdoor activities.The towering mountains famously offer some of the Himalaya's most awe-inspiring treks but also some spectacular mountain biking;and its mighty rivers fuel some of the best white-water rafting you'll find anywhere.An added bonus is that all this fun comes in at least half the price of places like the US or New Zealand.For an added thrill try bungee jumping 160m into a Himalayan gorge or abseiling into a thundering 45m water fall.Oh,and did we mention that Pokhara is one of the best paragliding spots in the world?Pack a spare pair of underpants - you're going to need them.
Nepal's grandiose mountains, diverse landscape, fascinating history and rich culture attract tourists from around the world. There are many exciting, interesting destinations in Nepal from the Terai lowlands to the impressive Himalayas. Popular Nepalese vacation destinations include cities, National Parks and other wilderness areas.

Few would disagree that the Himalayan mountain regions of Nepal contain some of the best places in the world to go trekking. Largely inaccessible by road, combined with the well-worn foot tracks developed between villages over centuries, makes trekking the best way of seeing the Himalaya. Choose from treks like Everest Base Camp & Gokyo Lakes, Annapurna or Langtang to less popular trekking options including Mustang or Kanchenjunga Base Camp. From short, easy treks to month long expeditions, from tea-house trekking to camping 'rough', Nepal has it all.
When travelling anywhere in the world it is always prudent to acquire an awareness of the respective culture of the country and to hence understand the relevant etiquette of the country and the 'do's and don'ts'.
