Not your everyday airport shuttle service, hey?

And I repeat. Nepal is quite an experience.

Nepal 101

Hi guys! So here is a guide to travelling in Nepal. I was supposed to do this two weeks ago…better late than never? Sounds right. 

The list serves as a brief summary of places you should NOT miss (based on my experience). You might agree or disagree..that’s totally up to you. I might do a detailed description of each region sometime in the future. Also, I’d recommend you do some research on your own and not completely depend on this. I will not be held responsible for your dissatisfaction with any of the places I’ve mentioned (although I highly doubt your experience will be anything less than amazing).  

Kathmandu:

-Swayambhunath Stupa a.k.a Monkey Temple

-Patan Durbar Square + Museum (Durbar = Palace) 

-Bhaktapur Durbar Square + Museum

-Basantapur Durbar Square (a.k.a Kathmandu Durbar Square) + Hanumandhoka + Kumari Ghar (Kumari House) [all around the same area of Kathmandu]

-Boudhanath Stupa

-Thamel (major tourist area filled with tourist targeted “cultural” shops, affordable hostels, restaurants, bars, hotels, climbing wall, outdoor shops…basically everything)

-Pashupatinath temple (Non-Hindus not allowed inside..but you get a pretty sweet view from the outside)

Nagarkot (Be sure to wake up super early in the morning to catch the mountain sunrise..it’s totally worth it..trust me)

Pokhara:

-Boating in Phewa Lake/Lake side hangouts (if you’re going to Pokhara, I suggest you get a place to stay in the Lake side area)

-World Peace Pagoda (I suggest you take the short hike up to this place rather than going by car…the lakeside view with the mountains is well worth it) 

-Sarangkot Paragliding + lookout (lookout is perfect for mountain sunrises/sunsets..it’s guaranteed to take your breath away.)

-ZipFlyer Nepal Zip lining

-Annapurna Circuit + Base Camp trekking (There are different routes in this circuit. Some are tough while others are moderate. Pick the trail depending on your comfort/experience.)

-Devi’s Falls

-Mahendra Cave + Gupteshwor Mahadev Cave + Bat Cave (These are three different caves. You can pay extra to go on a guided tour deeper into some areas of the cave..I’d recommend it) 

Chitwan:

-Sauraha jungle safari 

Khumbu region:

-Everest Base camp/ Tengboche monastery area hike (Strenuous hike, only for the experienced hiker/climber)

-Everest sky dive if you’re swimming in money (we’re talking ~$25,000 per person)

-Or Everest summit. (If you take my recommendation on this one, better let me know. K Thanks)
