Nepal:
the magnetism of the Himalaya
At the end of winter, Holi -the festival of colours- brings even greater splendour to Kathmandu
The river is the Bhote Koshi. The waters come from the Himalayas. The activity: rafting
Try meat or vegetable momos, and take a class to learn how to make them
Few places as different. Few places as enigmatic. Few places like Nepal.
Whoever thinks that Nepal is only mountains or a place for adventurous mountaineers is wrong.
Whoever thinks that Nepal is only a place for tiring treks is wrong.
Whoever thinks that you must carry a bag during the whole day is wrong.
Nepal is much more than mountain climbing.
And it’s true that its impressive mountains of over 8000 meters create a majestic landscape, but it’s also true that the best way to enjoy it is by contemplating it in the distance.
Now lets descend the mountains and cross its extraordinary valleys. Here starts a different and wholly charming Nepal.
Its medieval squares and temples of Kathmandu or Bhaktapur are an invitation to think for a moment that time has been stopped for centuries.
The Buddhist monasteries always possess a spiritual and relaxing atmosphere.
Chitwan, the Koshi Tappu Natural Reserve, or the Bardiya National Park are destinations for a safari where rhinoceroses, buffalos, elephants, leopards, bears, and, potentially, Bengal tigers will parade in front of your eyes.
Rafting, kayak, trekking, bungee jumping… There are always chances for action in this country, but also for the calmness that represent the strolls along tea plantations or lakes such as a the Phewa in Pokhara from where you can spot the famous Annapurna.
Because the Himalaya is always there, as a permanent background of a fascinating country.
