Why Nepal is a paradise for hikers?

Nepal is a country with a high happiness index.

The holy land where Buddha Sakyamuni was born 2500 years ago.

Have the purest and most beautiful gods in the sky.

Eight peaks above 8000 meters above sea level

This used to be the terminal of "Hippie Road".

Although poor, it is like snow and ice in the Himalayas.

Crystal clear on the edge of the material world and the height of the spiritual kingdom.

Some people say that hiking is the best way to come to Nepal, and freedom in exploration is the best reason to make every donkey friend excited.

So, what different scenery will you feel when you come to Nepal?

Boccara is a world-class hiking resort.

If the best way to come to Nepal is hiking, then Boccara is its best hiking place.

Its climate is similar to that of Guangdong. Compared with the hustle and bustle in Kathmandu, Boccara is more like a quiet girl, snuggling in the arms of Mount Everest all the year round, waiting for every donkey friend to stop and watch.

Anna Poorna Mountain is surrounded here, Fishtail Peak can be seen everywhere, and Lake Peva is also charming here. The climate here is warm, the lush vegetation is in sharp contrast with the majestic snow-capped mountains, and people come here in an endless stream every year.

Qitewang forest animal amusement park

Chitwan National Forest Park is the largest wildlife park in Nepal and one of the largest forest parks in Asia. It used to be the Royal Park of Nepal, and it used to be the hunting ground for British and Indian royalty and nobles. There are rare animals in the world, including Bengal tiger, Asian elephant, bear, leopard, crocodile and more than 350 kinds of birds.

Boating on Rapti River, watching the Asian elephants slowly return home, the ever-changing clouds reflected in the golden waves in the sunset, and the comfort was mixed with excitement. If you like excitement, you can also go hiking in the jungle and get to know wild animals, which is also a good experience.

The best viewing platform in Nagakout, Himalayas.

Nagakout, the best viewing platform in the Himalayas, is a very small place in Nepal. Although small, it is enough for people to enjoy the panoramic view of the entire Himalayan snow mountain from the widest perspective. From a distance, 20 snow-capped mountains over 6000 meters are like a silver jade belt hanging horizontally in the air, showing the splendor of the snow-capped mountains.

Nagakut's leisure level is not inferior to that of Boccara. The mountain scenery here is spectacular, and you can see the snow-capped mountains in the distance on sunny days. If the visibility is high, you can also be lucky to see the face of Mount Everest, the world's highest peak.

Lumbini's birthplace of Buddha

If you come to Nepal and go to this place, the only reason is to see the Mahamoyev Temple, a white temple dedicated to and commemorating Sakyamuni's mother, with the right hand clutching the branches of the Miro tree and the newborn baby Siddhartha standing on the lotus platform nearby. It stands in the center of Lumbini Circle and attracts countless pilgrims.

Badge, ancient art city.

Mount Bader, a pious city. Once the capital of Nepal, it has a pottery-making process that has been passed down for hundreds of years. Among the famous ancient buildings, Duba Square, Taomadi Square and Dazhupa Square are the main ones. If you are also a traveler interested in ancient art, you might as well come here to see those ancient buildings.

You can go to Dubai Square to enjoy the ancient temples and see palaces, courtyards and statues with artistic characteristics. Malla dynasty in 500 years is simply the essence and treasure house of Nepalese art in the Middle Ages. In particular, the Golden Gate and the 55 Window Palace are rare artistic treasures, famous for their exquisite bronze casting and wood carving.

Kathmandu is a city of temples and a paradise in the mountains.

It is no exaggeration to describe the number of temples in Kathmandu with "five steps and one temple, ten steps and one temple". There are more than 2,700 temples and pagodas in the downtown area of less than 7 square kilometers. The exquisiteness of each building is an ancient art that your own eyes can't imagine. Just because it has a history of 1000 years, it is enough to make you infatuated once.

It is the capital of Nepal. It is located in the embrace of the southern slope of the Himalayas all the year round and has a pleasant climate. When you come here, you will find that it not only reveals a strong ancient flavor, but also is a "paradise in the mountains" with lush trees and flowers.

When is a good time to go hiking in Nepal?

Hiking activities are very dependent on the weather, and the general weather determines the quality of hiking experience.

1, Nepal had better not go in the rainy season like summer. The water vapor from the Indian Ocean blows to the Himalayas, and the weather is hot and humid, and it often rains, which is more prone to mudslides and landslides. Moreover, the weather of high-altitude peaks in summer is often not very stable, which is not suitable for mountaineering. There are few sunny days, and the probability of seeing the whole snow mountain is also very low.

2. Spring and autumn in a year, namely March, April and 10, 1 1, are the most suitable hiking seasons and the peak hiking season in Nepal.

Winter in Nepal is also very suitable for hiking. Unlike many places, which are extremely cold because of heavy snow closing mountains, outdoor activities are completely impossible. There is a high probability of seeing the whole snow-capped mountains in Nepal in sunny winter, but it will be colder at high altitude.
