People generally associate Nepal with trekking and Mount Everest. However, Nepal is so much more than just the Himalayan Mountain ranges that many adventure seekers see as their ultimate challenge. Nepal is a treasure trove of ancient traditions and rich culture.
Kathmandu, historically known as Nepal Mandala, has long been the home of the Newar people. While travellers from neighbouring Asian countries of the Hindu and Buddhist faith often visit, it's rare to see Caucasian visitors, except for adventure enthusiasts aiming to reach the Everest Base Camp or the peak itself.
Nepal is still a hidden gem that should be on the list of travellers who are looking for tradition, culture, history and a truly unique experience.
