Soaring ice-topped mountains shimmer with
rainbows of prayer flags, while the intense streets of Kathmandu are a
ceaseless frenzy of honking mopeds, chattering vendors and garish signs:
Nepal is a thoroughly colourful slice of Asia.
If there is a hikers' paradise, then this is it. Nepal's craggy chunk of the Himalayas offers world-class trekking terrain - from leafy Annapurna to distinguished Everest - peppered with rustic mountain villages, and hundreds of undulating trails that have been trodden upon for centuries.
But spiritual and nature-rich Nepal is certainly not only for mountaineers set on scrambling to Everest Base Camp; from the lime-green grasses of Chitwan National Park rustling with the charcoal flash of an Indian rhino, to the eclectic cafés and bohemian vibe of lake-side Pokhara, Nepal is an intriguing and welcoming destination for all.
