Nepal
Kathmandu's temples and the Annapurna skyline
Why go
Nepal packs the Himalaya, deep culture and jungle into a country you can see in a week or trek for a month. A classic trip pairs the Kathmandu Valley — Boudhanath and Swayambhunath stupas, the temple towns of Patan and Bhaktapur — with Pokhara, where you can paraglide off Sarangkot, row on Phewa Lake and, on a clear morning, watch the Annapurnas turn pink. Add a night or two in Chitwan National Park for rhino and, if you have the time and legs, a short lodge trek in the Annapurna foothills.
Trip highlights
- Boudhanath and Swayambhunath, Kathmandu
- The Durbar squares of Patan and Bhaktapur
- Sunrise on the Annapurnas from Sarangkot, Pokhara
- Rhino safari in Chitwan National Park
