1. Nepal is exceptionally
beautiful
Nepal is really, really beautiful, and I am not saying
it because I am a Nepali. I have been to a few countries, and have visited some
of their tourist attractions but nothing moved me as eloquently as Nepal did.
2. Nepal is not
expensive at all
Well, the tickets prices to Nepal might be a little high but Nepal is a
developing country and there are very few places that are commercially aimed
for tourists. It will cost you moderately if you go to such places. Even if you
chose to wander off from the mainstream attractions, and explore the places
where very few of the tourists have been, you will not go broke either. But,
take a Nepali friend along with you, so that you don’t get lost.
3. Nepali love
tourists
There’s a saying in Nepal and India, amongst the Hindu
cultures – “Atithi Devo Bhawa”, simply put, “Guests are God”. And since Nepal
is predominantly a Hindu nation, people do possess that sentiment. It may not
apply to those areas which are vastly commercialized but people are helpful to
tourists. Don’t mind if they charge you a ten or twenty more cents for the
stuffs you buy, that is only because they think you’re filthy rich to come to visit
such a distant land.
4. Biological and
geographical diversity
The
diversity of Nepal is the reason for its beauty and that diversity calls in for
ethnic, biological and geographical diversity. For a country that possesses
only 0.03% of the total land in world, Nepal is an extremely rich of flora and
fauna and is house to different rare and endangered species including the
Bengal Tiger and the One Horned Rhino. Not to miss the 856 species of birds
only. With a geography that extends from 60 to 8848 meters from the sea level, Nepal
houses the plain terrains, rugged hills and the snow-capped Himalayas.
5. Cultural
and Ethnic Diversity
Within a
territory of 1,47,181 km, 109 different languages are spoken, and the variety
in the culture with each of them is distinct in its own way. The type of diet,
customs, tradition and festivals differ from culture to culture.
Different
villages across the country have been developed into home-stays that offer
hospitality in a traditional way, pertaining to the culture and tradition of
the owners. It is in such place where the tourists get to experience of the rural
life strictly native to the land.
Nepal is the only country that has the Mount Everest
Nepal is the home to the tallest mountain in the
world, the Mount Everest. Apart from Everest, there are 6 out of 10 mountains
above the height of 8000 m are located in Nepal. If you are a mountaineering
enthusiast, Nepal is the place for you. And even if you are a whole other breed
of adrenaline junkie, you can have all the adventures you want. Nepal serves
you with bungee jumping, rafting, canoeing, paragliding, cayoning and of course,
trekking.
7. Experience
the peace and serenity.
Nepal is a pious land for Hindu and Buddhist pilgrims
around the world, and every small and big conveys the message of peace and
friendship. Although Nepal is home to Gurkha, the brave and fearsome warriors,
Nepali people strongly believe in peace.
The hills of Nepal are sparsely populated and so are
the mountainous reasons. Thus, Nepal has places that are so beautiful, and yet
to be commercialized and populated. If you are lucky, you might find a guide who
can take you to those places.
8. Water
Resources
Nepal is abundant in water resources containing around
6000 rivers and a significant amount of lakes. The perennial rivers are source
of recreation all around the air, most of them having potential for rafting and
other activities relating to entertainment. In addition to that, Nepal has
several lakes, ponds and reservoirs that captivate the hearts of onlookers.
9. Fooooooooooooood
Nepali cuisine, and diet is one thing you just can’t
hate. Although several food items are derived from dishes of Tibetan and Indian
origin, they have been Nepalified to people’s taste. Although the basic staple
is rice, the auxiliary sustenance for the food varies from culture to culture. Besides
that, there are thousands of others dishes across the land that you can’t just
have once.
10. Nepal
is exceptionally beautiful
Oh! Sorry… I already said that!
