Country is Famous for Adventure Tourism
When talking about Nepal, it would be wrong to not mention mountains. In the global eyes, mountains are our identities. In fact, Nepal’s Himalayas are incredibly popular for adventurous activities. And when we talk about the Nepalese Himalayas, these are certainly different from those in Western countries.
Nepal is Famous for Adventure Tourism | Reasons to visit Nepal
Our Himalayas stands tall over 8000 meters, and our hills easily over 1000 meters. Most find these mountains intimidating, but they are simply mesmerizing when looked at closely. One should definitely visit Nepal just to witness the bewildering mountains of Nepal. However, some can find long journeys to mountains- tiring. In that case, try different activities in Nepal or simply other countries.
Nepal’s major tourist activities include wilderness and adventure tourism activities such as mountain biking, bungee jumping, rock climbing and mountain climbing, trekking, hiking, bird watching, mountain flights, ultralight aircraft flights, paragliding and hot air ballooning over the mountains of the Himalaya.
The Beautiful Lakes
Nepal is not just home to some of the world’s highest mountains but also boasts beautiful and picturesque lakes in the Himalayan landscape. You may not know, but Nepal is the second richest country in inland water resources; Nepal is blessed with more than 6,000 rivers, 3,252 glaciers, and 2,323 glacial lakes.

Other lakes are known for their unique features and spectacular exquisiteness. Needless to say, some lakes in Nepal are well-known for their unmatched and notable traits, signing in the world record.
The Culture, Acceptance of Religion & Unique Festivals
Most of Nepal’s population practice Hinduism, but as already mentioned with the many stupas around, there is a heavy Buddhist influence, and also some Kiratism, Islam and Christianity, although in smaller populations.
Because of this diversity of religion and multiculturalism, travelling around different parts of Nepal and learning about each region’s customs is an enlightening experience and shows what a unique place it is to visit.
The Culture, Acceptance of Religion & Unique Festivals | Reasons to visit Nepal
The varied culture of Nepal is seen through its many festivals. Nepalis celebrate numerous festivals throughout the year, much like the Indians. Major festivals include Dashain (Nepali equivalent of Durga Puja) which marks the victory of Goddess Durga over the demon Mahishasura.
It is one of the most anticipated festivals of the year and is celebrated by Nepali Hindus with great pomp and joy for fifteen days in the month of Ashvin (September-October). Tihar (Diwali), also called as Swanti and Yamapanchak by some communities, is another famous festival celebrated for five days.

Meet the Friendliest Peoples | We welcome travelers across the globe to this beautiful land of the Himalayas.
They never fail to serve you tea and offer you help when needed. Ask a friend who has visited Nepal before and they will tell you how friendly the Nepali people are. It is little wonder that there comes such a saying that while you first come to Nepal for the mountains, you return here for the people.
The People of Nepal are friendly. Often when you are confused looking at the map or different direction they will come forth and ask you were you want to go and give you direction as well. They offer you seat in croweded bus. They never ignore you if you initiate to talk unless they think you are dangerous. I think these are great examples of their friendliness.
Best Spot For One Horn Rhinos and Bengal Tigers
Not many people think of Nepal as a place abundant with wildlife, but oh, how wrong they’d be. Nepal has a large, diverse population of bird species, and if that’s not hardcore enough, head to Chitwan or Bardia National Park for a safari, tracking down crocodiles, rhinos, deers and the elusive Bengal Tiger.
Best Spot For One Horn Rhinos and Bengal Tigers | Reasons to visit Nepal
It’s also one of the few countries which is the habitat of clouded leopards (like leopards with bigger spots, but much more elusive), living high in the mountains, thought until recently to be extinct in Nepal.
Bardia National Park, in the far west of Nepal, is much less-visited than Chitwan, so offers a more rugged safari experience. While Royal Bengal Tigers live in various parts of Nepal, and are pretty elusive, you have a chance of spotting them here.
Ranging from the charisma of chilly mountains to the tranquillity of wildlife, Nepal presents the best variety of safaris. So, as you plan your trip to this beautiful country, make sure you witness the beauty of nature.

Through bucolic cities with populated streets, to pristine wildernesses with crystal clear lakes and vibrant wildlife, to awe-inspiring temples and an enviable history, these places have it all.
Kathmandu: City of Temples
Your first stop will be Kathmandu, the capital city of Nepal, a real metropolis that stands at its historic, cultural and religious centre. The first thing you can do here is taking aguided UNESCO World Heritage tour of the city. These places of worship are spectacular, and you’ll get the chance to understand a new culture.
There’s also the chance to take part in a lesson on how to make your own scarf, this is a traditional activity here. A DIY hiking backpack guide would also be really helpful since you’re probably going to do quite a bit of walking here. This would be great for snack storing, as you can also go on a food tour. The Nepalese cuisine is extremely aromatic and rather different from Western cuisine, so you’ll see the best hidden locations with the most delicious treats.
There are also plenty of UNESCO World Heritage Sites that weave their way out of a rich historical and cultural past. One of these is the Basantapur Durbar Square that’s famous for its traditional architecture. Besides, you can get a glimpse into the past of the Nepalese monarchy here and learn more about it.
The Boudhanath is another UNESCO Heritage Site since it has roots that stretch over into Antiquity. This is now a place for spiritual meditation, and it’s also one of the last remaining Stupas, but it was a Tibetan trade route for millennia.
And all these sites can easily be visited either by foot or with a more original bicycle rickshaw. Besides, Kathmandu is a very bike-friendly city, so you can rent one for yourself. You can also get out of the city and hike through Gurung and Magar, regions which offer steep snow-capped mountains, lush forests, and enticing traditional dances.
Pokhara: Jewel of the Himalaya
Moving on to another ancient trading route that connected Tibet to India, Pokhara offers a lot of interesting views and activities. One of them would be to enjoy watching the mule trains that continue the trading tradition, but that is just the beginning.
Short Hikes Pokhara
The mountain scenery is simply stupendous. Annapurna can be admired from here with its high summits that have snow-dropped peaks. And if you want, you can use Pokhara as a starting point to Annapurna and a rugged hike around the Himalaya.
But however magnificent that might sound, the mountains aren’t the tip of the iceberg here. The lakes are stunning too, with Phewa Lake being one of the largest in the area, looking like a huge crystal-blue water bowl. And the cherry on the cake is definitely visiting the temple on the lake.
But the Rupa and Begnas lake are amazing too, and they’re exactly on your way as you drive from Kathmandu. There’s a forest between them where you can o some hiking, and this natural retreat bursts with tranquillity, though you can enjoy some boating here too.
Don’t forget about the amazing waterfall of Devins, which the Nepalese call Hells Fall for a good reason: it’s tumbling down so forcefully, that it’s said to actually have carried a guy into the other world. If you’re in the area, the Mahendra Gupha, a huge limestone cave with impressive stalactites and stalagmites is also a must-see.
Besides, Pokhara bursts with spirituality too, so don’t forget to visit the Bindhabasini and Barahi temples, which are representative of their religions. And you might get the chance to see believers that carrying animals across the Phewa Lake to Barahi so they can sacrifice them to the goddess Ajima.
Chitwan: Diverse range of wildlife
Chitwan is among the largest cities in Nepal and bears the name of the valley that shelters it. So understandably, there is lots of urban entertainment like the local restaurants which serve traditional cuisine.
The KC’s is a bungalow with a thatch roof, which makes it particularly interesting. There’s also a fire pit in the backyard, but the front garden is extremely well kept. You’ll also love the Sweet Memory restaurant with its homemade-like meals. And don’t forget the Jungle-View restaurant which offers a fascinating viewpoint to the, you guessed it, jungle.
Chitwan Jungle Safari Tour
Speaking of which, this region is mostly visited because it offers an immersion into the wildlife with its zoos, national parks, and safaris. The Elephant Breeding Center is near Sauraha and you can see first-hand how the elephants live in the wild. And if you’re more interested in birdwatching, there’s also the Bird Education Society closeby.
The National Park Headquarters located on the Rapti River bank also provides various safari opportunities. Now you’ll get to admire the exotic Nepalese jungle and the animals that live here, like fierce crocodiles and placable hippos.
And don’t forget about the cultural side of Chitwan. The Tharu Cultural Museum is perfect for getting more acquainted with the Tharu culture. There are plenty of exhibits regarding the traditional wear, ornaments, as well as vibrant murals.
The Tharus are an indigenous people who see themselves as sons of the forest, so their spirituality is closely linked to nature and the forest as well. That’s because many of their deities actually live in the forest, and they have to give people permission to enter their dwelling place. So even if the museum is closed, you’ll still get the chance to hear a new, captivating perspective about spirituality from a deeply religious community.
With that in mind, we’re sure you’ll never regret taking this tour. Filled with the most diverse experiences, from admiring architectural gems to pampering your taste buds, from experiencing jungle life to understanding new belief systems, this tour is definitely one that will enrich your life.
