This small republic will allow you to discover a fascinating culture made up of impressive monuments and buildings. Nepal is the perfect place to take great routes through the mountains and meet very friendly people on your visits who will welcome you into their home as one of the family. But like any great trip, it has a series of disadvantages that you should bear in mind before going there:
– The city can be a bit grubby and so can the food.
– Currently there are political movements that affect security in the country so traveling there can be quite dangerous. The only advantage of these riots is that tourism has dropped and if you decide to go you will not find cities full of tourists.
The best months to travel to Nepal are: October, November, February and March. During the months of December to January it is a bit cold, but still not too unpleasant. The worst months are from mid-June to mid-September, as these are the months where the heaviest rains occur. We recommend that your stay be at least two weeks. Just to get to know the Kathmandu valley you will need 4 days. You should not stop visiting :
– The Kathmandu Valley; It is made up of three incredible medieval cities full of monuments.
– Pokhara ; it is a relaxing mountain ideal for very relaxing visits. It is four hours from Kathmandu.
Other sites not to be missed are: Gorkha, Manakamana, Tansen, Bardia National Park, Lumbini (Buddha’s birthplace) and Janakpur.
