Nowhere
else in the Himalaya will you find the physical,
cultural and religious diversity which exists
in Nepal. From the ancient animistic Bon religion
of the western mountains and the Tibetan Buddhist
culture of the Sherpas of Everest to the rich
Hindu tradition of the heartland of the kingdom.
The irresistible attraction of the Himalayan
Mountains - sheltering peaks such as Everest,
Annapurna and Lhotse, and raging rapid-filled
rivers - has made Nepal a Mecca for adventure
activities like rafting, trekking and mountain
biking and culture activities. Add to this a
rich cultural heritage, which can be still being
seen today in the shape of magnificent royal
palaces, colorful Hindu temples, and ancient
Buddhist monasteries. Nepal offers a unique
kaleidoscope of South Asian culture. Combined
with the world's most spectacular mountains
and a truly warm and hospitable people, you
have the ingredients for the experience of a
lifetime.
Kathmandu
Durbar Square is in the heart of old city
Kathmandu in Basantapur. The founding
of the Royal Palace dates back to Licchavi
times. With considerable renovations by
Malla rulers and later the Ranas, construction
was accomplished progressively over many
centuries. Swoyambhu literally means 'Self-Existent
One.' Swoyambhunath is believed to have
been established more than 2,500 years
ago. Large numbers of Buddhists and Hindus
alike visit Swoyambhunath. Swoyambhu is
perhaps the best place to observe the
religious harmony in Nepal. The stupa
is atop a hill, and requires considerable
walk.
Pashupatinath
is one of the four most important religious
sites in Asia for Shiva devotees. Pashupatinath,
dedicated to Shiva the god of Destroyer,
is the holiest Hindu pilgrimage destination
in Nepal. Although the Pashupatinath Temple
was only built in the 5th century and
later renovated by Malla kings, the holy
site is said to have existed from the
beginning of the millennium. Nagarkot,
located 32 kilometers east of Kathmandu,
is one of the most scenic spots in Bhaktapur
district and is renowned for its spectacular
sunrise view of the Himalaya when the
weather is clear. Visitors often travel
to Nagarkot from Kathmandu to spend the
night so that they can be there for the
breathtaking sunrise.
