Nepal

Adventure
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.
Adventure
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.

Temples
Nepal has numerous and diverse temples. Some of the highlights include the Buddhist Swayambhunath Temple and Bodnath Stupa as well as Pashupatinath, Nepal's most important Hindu Temple, which are all in the Kathmandu Valley. There are also hundreds of smaller temples and stupa in the high Himalaya on trails and passes.

Visit Seti River, Annapurna

The Seti River runs from the mountains above Pokhara right down into the lowlands of the Chitwan area, and flows through some wonderfully-remote valleys. It is a fairly calm river, with a number of easy rapids, and is great for a two-day rafting trip between Pokhara and Chitwan.

Seti River

Annapurna, Nepal

The Seti River runs from the mountains above Pokhara right down into the lowlands of the Chitwan area, and flows through some wonderfully-remote valleys.

It is a fairly calm river, with a number of easy rapids, and is great for a two-day rafting trip between Pokhara and Chitwan.

The valleys through which the river runs are covered in lush jungle, and there are a few settlements here, which are many hours walk from any road. There is a permanent tented camp set up on the banks of this river in complete solitude.
