Country Guides: Nepal

Nestled amidst the magnificent Himalayas, Nepal has some of the world’s best hiking trails. The paths weave through villages and cross deep gorges surrounded by spectacular mountain scenery. But there’s so much more to the country: from white water rafting on the River Seti, to the madness of Kathmandu and the tranquility of Chitwan National Park.

Travel on the curiously-named “tourist buses” and you’ll get a flavour for local life, as local women travel the country to visit family. Take a mountain flight to appreciate the panoramic spectacle of Everest. But with so much to do, one trip to Nepal is never enough.
