Trekking trips to the Himalayas are also recommended for avid

The capital city, Kathmandu is
enriched with temples more than homes and festivals exceeding the number of
days in a year. The whole valley with its seven heritage sites has been
enlisted in cultural World Heritage Site list. The place, which blends
cultural vigor with modern facilities possible on earth is place liked by
tourists been here. The place has more to offer and it is not only
administrative capital of the country but to the fullest extend capital of
traditional culture and physical resources. Three Durbar Squares - Kathmandu,
Patan and Bhaktapur, Pashupatinath, Bouddhanath, Swoyambhunath and
Changunarayan are the places most revered by the Kathmanduities and whole
world.
Kathmandu is not big when one compares it to other cities in South Asia.
Kathmandu is a fascinating old city today where pagodas, narrow cobbled
lanes, old carved windows, and stone shrines are backdrops to the drama of
life that continues unhindered. Here the experiences are amazing, views
fascinating, and the climate charming.
There are living Goddesses whose smiles are a benediction. There are
reincarnate Lamas who foresee the future with a roll of dice and scriptural
reference. There are walks that lead the adventurous to legendary places
where ogres once lived. There are hidden gardens behind palaces yet unseen
and courtyards where miracles happen, and a city the Buddha visited.
The natural beauty of Pokhara in Midwestern Nepal is simply bewitching.
Forming the backdrop are the spectacular Annapurna Mountains with the
magnificent fish-tailed Machhapuchhre dominating the scene. Adding to
Pokhara's enchantment are the three serene lakes of Phewa, Rupa and Begnas.
Lumbini, in the southwest, is the birthplace of Lord Buddha and a World
Heritage Site. An inscription on the Ashoka Pillar identifies the Sacred
Garden as the place where the Buddha was born. Lumbini has a number of
artistic temples and monasteries built through international support.
UNESCO recalls Chitwan as one of the few remaining undisturbed vestiges
of the 'Terai' region, which formerly extended over the foothills of India
and Nepal at the foot of the Himalayas. The Royal Chitwan National Park has
been enlisted in natural World Heritage Site. It has a particularly rich
flora and fauna. One of the last populations of single-horned Asiatic
rhinoceros lives in the park, which is also one of the last refuges of the
Bengal tiger.
