1. Nepal Tourism Map

From the map, Africa is far away from Nepal. If it is about 5,000 kilometers from Somalia, the nearest country in northeastern Africa, to Nepal in South Asia, the country of Nepal is one of the landlocked countries in South Asia. In fact, the African continent and Nepal are separated by the Indian Ocean, the third largest ocean in the world, and there is another country, the Republic of India.

2. Nepal Travel Guide

If you want to go to Nepal, you must first get a visa from the Nepalese consulate. Nepal has two consulates in China, one in Beijing and the other in Lhasa, Tibet. It is recommended to apply for a visa in Lhasa. As long as you bring your passport and fill out the application form at the Nepalese consulate, you can get your visa in about 3 hours. Once you have your visa, the question is how to get there. Usually it starts from Lhasa. Lhasa Gonggar Airport can fly directly to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. It’s the most time-saving way to travel by plane, but the cost is relatively high.

3. Must-visit attractions in Nepal travel guide

Due to work reasons, I often go to various parts of the country to shoot travel-related movies. I have also been to many countries and share interesting stories from my travels. I'm happy to answer your travel questions and provide you with truly valuable information.

1. Overview of Nepal: Nepal is a snowy Buddhist country where we are closest to God. Despite extreme poverty, the people here have the highest happiness index in the world.

2. Time suggestion: Three or four days is too short. I recommend at least 7-10 days of free travel. Of course, if you don’t have time, I highly recommend scheduling 5 days. This is the most efficient itinerary in Nepal.

3. Travel advice: If you prefer to travel independently, and if it is your first time to go to Nepal, it is strongly recommended to find a tour guide from China who works and lives there or a reputable full-time tour guide. This is the best choice, saving you a lot of troubles such as language communication, itinerary, transportation, ticket purchase for attractions, etc.

What are the famous tourist attractions in Nepal?

Chitwan National Park

Located about 120 kilometers southwest of Kathmandu, it is covered with forests, swamps and grasslands. It is one of the best national parks for wildlife viewing in Asia and has been listed as World natural heritage.

Pokhara

The most famous scenic spot in Nepal is located in the Pokhara Valley City on the southern slope of the Himalayas in central Nepal. The urban population is less than 100,000, and it is much quieter than the bustling Kathmandu. It is particularly worth mentioning that Pokhara is located in the Himalayan Valley, surrounded by mountains, nestled under the snow-capped Annapurna Mountains and Yuwei Peak all year round.

Kathmandu (the capital of Nepal)

Kathmandu is the capital of Nepal. Durbar Square is located in the center of Kathmandu, at the intersection of the Bagmati River and the Bhinmati River. It is the place where tourists are most concentrated. There are more than 50 temples and palaces in total, maintaining the original architectural forms and styles since the Middle Ages, which is dizzying. The city is surrounded by mountains. It is protected by the Himalayas in the north and the Indian Ocean warm current in the south, with an altitude of 1,370 meters. The weather is pleasant all year round and the average annual temperature is around 20 degrees Celsius. It is a world-famous tourist destination, a paradise in the mountains.

David Force

The Seti River stretches near Feiwa Lake and forms the most famous waterfall in the area, which has now been opened as a waterfall park. The park is not big, but you can see the traces of waterfalls and rocky riverbeds. Devil's Falls is called a waterfall, but only during the rainy season does it give people the impression of a turtle flowing straight down.

Yuwei Villa

The altitude is 6977 meters. The sharp corners of the fishtail peak are high and straight. At sunrise and sunset, the top of this snow-capped mountain takes on a golden-red color that cannot be described in words. No wonder it has become a tourism icon and a symbol of mountaineering in the Kingdom of Nepal.

Gorkha Durbar

Located 24 kilometers north of the Kathmandu-Pokhara highway and 8 kilometers away from Mughlin, it is the birthplace of the Shah Dynasty. Gorkha Durbar was the royal palace of the king before he unified Nepal. It was built more than 240 years ago. It is a majestic complex of castles, palaces and temples that is the centerpiece of the ancient Kaha town. The palace is a fine example of Nepalese architecture, as tall as an eagle's nest and filled with birds throughout the area.

Sagarmatha National Park

Samata means Sky Ridge or Top of the World in Nepali. We call it Mount Everest, and Europe and the United States call it Mount Everest. The total area of ??the park is 1,244 square kilometers. Including Mount Everest, there are 7 peaks in total, and the other 6 peaks are all above 7,000 meters above sea level.

Bagera Drojini Temple

Located in Sanku Town, it is an important temple built by people to worship Baghela Drojini. Since the 4th century AD, it has gradually become one of Nepal's famous religious sites. There are tall trees, cute monkeys and various birds near the temple.

The local food in Nepal is mainly rice, curry, fried rice, fried noodles, pizza and naan, and momo is a steamed dumpling. A standard Nepali meal consists of a bowl of vegetable soup of unknown content, rice and curry, rich vegetables and slices of meat. Locals like to eat pancakes, potatoes, vegetables and mutton, and drink milk and tea. I am used to catching rice with my hands, which is somewhat similar to Indonesia and Cambodia. Nepal has many specialties.

6. Travel guide for visiting Nepal

It is better to go directly to Kadu than to transfer in the nearest city in Nepal.

Zhangmu customs clearance: First go to the Zhangmu Public Security Bureau to post a status sticker, and then take a bus to the Youyiqiao Customs. After customs inspection, you can leave the country. It will still be the same when you come back. Don’t forget to post an entrance sticker at the Public Security Bureau. From Zhangmu to Nepal, you can only rent a car to cross the border, and then to Kadu. You can get off the bus midway, but the toll will not be refunded. It's night in Kadu, it's delivered directly to Phoenix and Taishan hotels. It's easy to stay in Phoenix and wander around Thamel. The next day, the shuttle bus left for Pokhara. If you don’t want to walk, you can take the shuttle bus to Wangchi at noon on the third day, Basspirini on the fifth day, Kadu on the seventh day, Nagarkut on the eighth day, Badgang on the ninth day, and Badgang on the tenth day. Patan, attractions near Kadu on the 11th day. To explain, the time to visit the scenic spots depends on your own interests. Among them, snow-capped mountains, rafting, and virgin forests will be fresh in your memory, so you will stay one more day in Pokhara and King Qi. In addition, to exchange enough rupees, it is not cost-effective to spend US dollars or RMB in Nepal. Buy many roadside maps in Canada. It's very simple and easy to read, with only two blocks.
