Probably BBC Holiday rightly said that Nepal is one of the 50 places to see before you die. It surprises you within moments of arriving in Nepal – an overwhelming sense of friendship, culture, community and spirituality. More than that, it will thrill you after seeing the beauty and diversity of this country. From all of the highest mountains in the world, eight are in Nepal including Mt. Everest at 8848 meters of altitude. This is the country where Buddha was born and where millions of Hindus worship millions of Gods and Goddess in their daily life. This part of the world is just different, more like a spiritual world which directly links with people’s day to day life.
Many people dream to visit Nepal once in their lifetime. Nepal is a dream place to experience culture and history, thousands of years of art crafts, amazing landscapes and trekking trails, elephant safaris into dense forest, and one of the best places in the world for outdoor and extreme sport activities and many more. You will find Nepal very small on the world map, between China and India, but as the saying goes “small is beautiful” and Nepal really enforces that saying.
People travel here and there in search of peace, tranquility and happiness. But in Nepal there are thousands of temples and monasteries situated in serene places where you can hide yourself to find peace and happiness within. You may be surprised to see villagers carrying huge loads on their backs while remaining happy, friendly, and willing to help you. Hardly few people do understand the truth behind being the happiest despite being the poorest. This may lead you to find the reason of travelling in Nepal.
