Nepal is among the top 5 vacation destinations by most travel websites and magazines this year again.
Trekking in Nepal is among the top activities and a must do in Nepal. And that's what lot of people actually do. Trekking on the mountains is definitely #1. Or, if you are rich you can climb Mt. Everest. LOL. Don't worry even if you aren't physically fit or not well trained. You can still reach the top of the world like many others who were carried by Sherpas on their back. Didn't you know? LOL
Beside that, you can probably go to Thamel, enjoy some good music and get drunk. And may be to the monkey temple.
If you do more than that, then you are an exception. LOL. Cuz' that's what most people from abroad do.
To those who have not experienced more in Nepal. Beware there are places you should not go. Definitely not.
The city of Kathmandu, even though very polluted is actually full of temples all over. Yes, temples in the middle of the city, all over. And I do not mean those unesco world heritage sites. There are lot more temples around the gallis and chowks all over. Between those temples are vegetable vendors, chatpates, milk tea vendors, lovers spots, youth juctions and more.
But you shouldn't go there. Cuz' you aren't there for a REAL Nepal right? You are only in Nepal for the moutains. Ain't it?
That's why I suggest people not to go to those amazing gallis. Do not try those street foods. Do not drink that milk tea in one of those corners. Do not try that chatpates too.
Or, next time you go to Nepal, try all that and tell me how was your experience. Cuz' that's real Nepal.
Good Luck !
