INTRODUCTION

Trekking through the alpine meadows high up in the Himalayas, watching the first ray of sun painting the mountains red and orange, rafting down rivers fed by glaciers, coming face to face with rhinos and even tigers in the lush jungles of the plains, walking the ancient lanes of the country's capital city which are filled with temples, Nepal is your travel fantasy come true.

Sandwiched between India and China, the northern part of Nepal is home to some of the mightiest and tallest mountains on the face of the earth and is where the famous trekking trails that meander through villages high up in the mountains are.
