THE 20 BEST PLACES TO VISIT IN NEPAL:
Home to the world’s highest mountains, most visitors to Nepal head straight for the Himalayas. While it’s undoubtedly one of the world’s greatest trekking destinations, it would be ridiculous to assume that all Nepal has to offer is the Himalayas. It’s a country with an incredibly diverse and rich history; a lavish tapestry of interwoven cultures, vibrant colors and experiences. Here the opportunities for adventure abound, safari through tropical forests in search of rhinos and tigers, visit the world’s holiest pilgrimage sites, or paraglide over turquoise lakes. The possibilities are endless.
- Chitwan National Park
Pristine, gorgeous Royal Chitwan National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of Nepal’s jewels. Nepal’s oldest national park offers tropical tea gardens, safaris, bird watching, and rafting. The biggest draw are the park’s (elusive) tigers and its mudhole adoring one horned rhinos. Canoe the Rapti River to get an up close encounter with crocodiles while spotting elegant egrets and striking kingfishers. In addition to it being a fantastic safari destination, all the tourism supports the park’s conservation efforts so you’re investing your money in Nepal’s unique wildlife and habitat. Visit from February- April or November-January for the dry weather that draws the animals out of the jungle to access the watering holes.
