Nepal

The landlocked kingdom of Nepal offers visitors a spellbinding experience at the heart of the Himalayas. Home to Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world, the area has attracted alpine adventurers from all over the world to try and conquer its peaks and admire its scenic beauty. Beyond the mountains, Nepalese capital Kathmandu is a bustling city full of colour, culture and cuisine. Further afield, the wetland region offers a chance to view the habitats of rare species such as the Indian rhino and the Bengal tiger, whilst the fascinating cities of Bhaktapur and Patan contain important religious sites and artefacts to explore.
