Nepal is far off the beaten track, both geographically and mentally! But if it´s an outstanding travel experience unlike any other you´re looking for, then Nepal is the place – and if you´ve been there once, the images of the indescribable mountain ranges and the indomitable spirit, warmth, and hospitality of the people will stay with you forever. And if that isn´t enough, there are plenty of more exciting experiences waiting for you here.
