This small Asian state has every right to be considered "the most-most" due to its unusual geographical characteristics. Literally sandwiched between the two most populous world powers - China and India - it is the highest mountain on the planet. It is in Nepal that Everest and several other peaks are located, whose height exceeds 8000 meters. Almost half of the territory of this federal republic is located at an altitude of more than three kilometers above sea level, which makes staying here not too easy even for a physically hardy person. There are no resorts in Nepal, in the usual sense of the word. Here it is customary to indulge in other kinds of pleasures. For example, learn to meditate in special courses, advance in yoga, master mountain peaks or conquer difficult routes on a mountain bike.
With a panoramic view of Mount Everest
A great way to experience Nepal is to travel through its national parks. They are under the auspices of UNESCO and represent natural areas that have no equal anywhere else in the world:
- Sagarmatha Park is the seven highest peaks of the Himalayas, among which three peaks soared into the sky over 8000 meters. Translated from Nepali "sagarmatha" means "mother of the gods" and this is how the locals call Everest. Magnificent and mesmerizing views of the highest peak of the planet open from the observation decks of the park.
- Asian rhinos and Bengal tigers can be photo models if you take part in a safari in Chitwan National Park. Once a royal hunting ground, today this park serves as a UNESCO World Heritage Site and a favorite travel destination for travelers. It is difficult to call it a resort in Nepal, rather, this park is a place for active hiking, trekking and watching wild animals. By the way, a safari in Nepal is not hunting, but riding on elephants and getting to know the wildlife and its inhabitants.
- The deepest mountain valley on the planet separates the peaks in the Annapurna National Park. At the bottom of it you can find shells of fossilized mollusks, because the age of the Kali-Gandaki valley is much older than even the Himalayas themselves. In the old days, the path from Tibet to India passed through the valley, along which trade caravans went, and today the locals are successfully engaged in gardening. Apples grown in Annapurna National Park have been supplied to the table of the English royal family for decades.
