If what you are looking for is a holiday with plenty of fresh air and with a different twist than your average package tour getaway then Nepal could be just right up your Alley and here are the top four destinations that you can put on your list to get the best out of trekking in this special part of the World.

Kathmandu - Kathmandu which is the vibrant capital of Nepal has to be on your list of sightseeing. This city has so much to offer with great local art at decent prices. You can also find religious art made by local artists including Mandala paintings which would gracefully adorn any home around the World. You will find great places to rest and eat too with all the colorful sights and tastes an Asian City could possibly offer its visitors. Kathmandu was a closed city to foreigners for a long time but now it has opended its doors it usually also acts as a starting point for sporting activities and trekking.

Nagarkot - Nagarkot is a city just over thirty miles away from the Capital Kathmandu and is a wonderful way to see the Hymalayas in all of the pristine glory and it also houses a watchtower which makes sure that you can catch a bird's eye view of the mountain ranges and of all the valleys below. You will be invigorated and refreshed once visiting this rugged landscape.

Koshi Tappu - If you are into natural beauty laced with wildlife conservation and animals then the Wildlife Reserve of Koshi Tappu can be a unique way to see vibrant wildlife in all its splendour in a way which you would have found unimaginable before. If you visit during the winter months of January up until March you will find so many migrant birds parching everywhere which are a delight to the eye.

Lumbini - If it is culture and religious history that you are looking for then Lumbini has many hidden treasures awaiting its guests. There are lovely meditation grounds, temples and of course it is the Birthplace of The Buddha, Siddharta Gautama who has brought so much light and tranquility to a suffering and troubled World. Taking a stroll in this special place will be like walking hand in hand with Buddha to help open you up and inspire you from whatever walk of life you may hail from.
