Nepal Travel Guide

Nepal is best known for trekking and the Himalayas, but there’s a lot more to it than that. Kathmandu is one of the most chaotic, fascinating cities in Asia…full of temples, street food, rooftop bars, and a nightlife scene that most people don’t expect. Whether you’re here to hike, explore the city, or just decompress somewhere genuinely different, Nepal delivers. This guide covers what to do, where to stay, how to get around, and what to eat. 

One week wasn’t enough for me…I already need to go back to Kathmandu.
