While visiting Nepal, you’re likely to be making a stopover in its capital, Kathmandu. Some of the many things Kathmandu is famous for feature sacred religious sites, stunning valleys and rivers, and of course the Himalayas range.

The outskirts of Kathmandu and the regions beyond are the polar opposite. These places are cocooned in some of the most beautiful natural sceneries you’ll ever see. Here, all your everyday worries and stress will give way to a sense of wonder. Before leaving, don’t forget to visit the shopping districts to buy souvenirs.
