Nepal:
Nepal is one of the most beautiful
dreamlands in Asia. Impregnable and enchanting
Snowy Himalayas including the highest Mt.
Everest (8848 M/ 29,028 ft), flat lowlands, lush
tropical jungles full of wildlife and with
varieties of flora and fauna, all lies within a
distance of 150 miles/240 kilometers of each
other. Nepal is a paradise for the tourists and
a visitor’s dream come true.
Kathmandu, the capital with its rich cultural
heritage, exquisite temples and Pagodas
dedicated to the Hindu Gods & Goddess, Buddhist
Chaityas and old palaces with carved windows and
doors are a sculptor’s dream and an architect’s
delight. It is a land of incredible contrasts.
Its cultural landscape is every bit as diverse:
a dozen major ethnic groups, speaking as many as
fifty languages and dialects, coexist in this
narrow, jumbled buffer state, while two of the
world's great religions, Hinduism and Buddhism,
overlap and mingle with older tribal traditions
- yet it's a testimony to the Nepalis' tolerance
and good humour that there is no tradition of
ethnic or religious strife.
Nepal is a nation of unaffected villages and
terraced hillsides - more than eighty percent of
the population lives off the land - and whether
you're trekking, biking or bouncing around in
packed buses, sampling this simple lifestyle is
perhaps the greatest pleasure of all.
Nepal is probably the most famous destination in
the world for a growing range of outdoor
activities, covered in a separate section of
this guide. Trekking from village to village
through the hills and up into high Himalayan
valleys is an experience not to be missed. The
scenery varies from cultivated terraces to lush
rhododendron forests to glacier-capped peaks.
Mother Nature has showered her infinite love and
gifts to this land and the visitors can witness
these while trekking in the mountains, rafting
in the thundering rivers and on elephant back
safaris in the jungles.
Unique Path trekking has prepared a set of
information and itineraries for our valued
clients who would like to enjoy the adventure of
a lifetime and after this is over they would
definitely carry a sweet memory of a lifetime
back home. |
