Visit Nepal

    Nepal is often portrayed as an adventure destination, and although this does very much depend on the traveller, the country does seem to have the feeling of adventure in the air! Whether it be river rafting, trekking or elephant-back safaris, Nepal has so much to offer for the more adventurous visitor.

  • Mountains

    64 per cent of Nepal is covered by mountains and it has the world's second greatest range of altitude, from the top of Mount Everest (8,850m) to the plains of the Terai at just 100m above sea level. However it is the Himalaya which dominates the country and is the primary attraction.

  • People

    The Nepali people are amongst the friendliest in the world. Several diverse ethnic groups make up the population including Limbu, Rai, Newar, Sherpa Tamang and Gurung. Generally Nepalis are laid back and have a relaxed attitude to life; Kathmandu is great to see this diverse population and if you are trekking you are bound to strike up a fantastic relationship with your porters.

The Fort

Nagarkot

The Fort Resort has the best views of the Himalayas in Nagarkot.

It is set on a ridge at the far end of the town, and it seems that there is nothing between you and the vast mountains as you eat or sip your tea on the terrace.

The main building is quite large, but is built using traditional Nepali architecture, and the small cottages dotted about the gardens have lovely wood-beamed ceilings and wooden floors. There are huge windows to take in the views and small terraces outside.

Delicious local food is served in the restaurant or on the main terrace.
