The capital Kathmandu

Boudhanath Stupa
The largest stupa in Nepal and the holiest Tibetan Buddhist temple outside Tibet, the Boudhanath Stupa in Kathmandu is a sacred place. Each part of the building represents stages to the path of enlightenment as well as the elements of earth, water, fire, air and ether.
Annapurna Circuit
The Annapurna Circuit is one of the world’s best hiking routes, starting in Pokhara. It covers between 160-230km at an altitude of 5,416m on the Thorung La Pass, touching the edge of the Tibetan plateau. It’s a tough trip, taking multiple days, traversing through a variety of landscapes as well as the famous and dramatic Himalayan mountains.
Breathtaking Lakes
There are over 200 lakes in Nepal with a glacier origin which often gives them a stunning, vividly blue colour. Head for the Gokyo Lakes (the world’s highest freshwater lake system) and Tilicho Lake, which is conveniently on the Annapurna Circuit trek.
