I travel quite a lot. Travelling is fun. Me and my family travel together whenever we get a chance. It keeps us closer and happier. Sharing the travel experiences often keeps our friends and relatives attached. Sometimes we go abroad but most of the time we travel inside the country. In my experience travelling here in Nepal is more exciting and adventurous than the other countries I have visited. Riding on a bike and hanging around highway alone watching the landscape sometimes feel like I am free roaming inside a video game.
Nepal is a small like a city but very beautiful country. The natural scenery here are really amazing because of the mountains and forests. I would like to share some of the activities I have experienced best among the easier in Nepal.
Paragliding (Sarangkot)
Most famous place for paragliding is Sarangkot in Pokhara. It will be around 25-35 minutes flight. Taking A bird’s eye view of beautiful city Pokhara and mountains nearby will definitely be an unforgettable moment of life. It costs around Rs 10000 ($100).
Mountain flight (Everest)
It is quite tough to climb mount Everest. Climbing mountains is an expensive hobby in terms of time, effort and money. Why not to take a flight to the Everest instead? The mountain flight takes us to the closest to the world’s highest mountain, the mount Everest. A breathtaking view of entire mountain range closest from the air will be one the best moment of life for sure. I have taken this flight only once. It is a little bit expensive. Rs 100000 to700000. ($1000 to 7000).
Hiking and trekking (Nepal)
In fact, travelling anywhere in Nepal is an adventure. It is mostly a mountainous country. Hiking and trekking will give us an understanding the true Nepali lifestyle and culture and definitely we can feel the astonishing natural beauty of the country. Famous places for hiking and trekking are the nearby villages and mountains of the Pokhara city. Cost will vary depending upon the complexity and duration. RS 2000 – 50000 ($20-500)
Rafting (Seti, Trishuli, Tamor, Karnali)
Rafting is another thrilling way to observe the landscape, flora and fauna of the surrounding region here. We can raft on any of the many rivers in Nepal. We can raft for 2 hours or 2 days according to our choice. The thrill we will never forget. Cost will vary depending upon the duration and location. Rs 3000-300000($30-3000)
Seeing the ancient temples ( Pasupathi, Bhaktapur, Patan, Lumbini, Janakpur)
Kathmandu valley is full of temples. Specially the city Bhaktapur is well famous for the ancient temples (around 2000 years old) and old city. Lumbini, the birth place of lord Buddha and Janaki temple in Janakpur are also interesting places to visit. We can visit almost all famous temples in Kathmandu valley in one day, one package. Price will vary deepening upon the travel package providers and inclusion of sites. Rs 10000-15000 ($100-1500). We can visit these places on our own if we like to.
I would like to request everyone to visit Nepal at least once whenever possible. It is indeed a wonderful country.
