Few countries pack this much into so little space. In one trip you can wake up to snow peaks, spend the afternoon with a rhino, and end the day at a 2,000-year-old temple.
Eight of the world's ten tallest peaks, including Everest, are in Nepal. You don't need to trek for weeks to see them: Pokhara and Nagarkot offer Himalayan views from a hotel balcony.
Chitwan and Bardiya national parks protect one-horned rhinos, Bengal tigers, elephants, gharial crocodiles and hundreds of bird species. Jungle walks and jeep safaris are guided by trained naturalists.
Lumbini, in the southern Terai, is where Siddhartha Gautama was born. Pilgrims and curious travellers alike come for its quiet gardens and monasteries.
Hindu and Buddhist traditions are woven into daily life. Festivals, prayer flags, temple bells and market chatter are part of an ordinary day, not a staged show.
Nepali hospitality is famous for good reason. Greeting someone with "Namaste" and a smile goes a long way, and guests are treated with genuine care.
Fly in to Kathmandu, add Pokhara for lakes and mountains, and finish in Chitwan for wildlife. Distances are short, and we arrange the transport.
From the birth of Buddha to a modern republic, here are the moments that shaped the country you'll be visiting.
Prince Siddhartha Gautama is born in the Terai plains. Emperor Ashoka later raised a pillar at the site, which still stands today.
Kathmandu Valley becomes a centre of trade between India and Tibet. Early temples, stone inscriptions and art flourish, and the roots of Nepali architecture take shape.
Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur compete as rival city-kingdoms and build the stunning Durbar Squares that visitors admire today, along with the Newar festivals and crafts that go with them.
Prithvi Narayan Shah of Gorkha conquers the valley and begins uniting dozens of small principalities into one kingdom.
A hereditary line of prime ministers holds power while the monarchs stay symbolic. Nepal stays largely closed to outsiders for more than a century.
Tenzing Norgay and Edmund Hillary reach the summit and Nepal's mountains become known around the world. Tourism begins to grow.
A people's movement restores multiparty democracy in 1990. In 2008 the monarchy ends and Nepal becomes a federal democratic republic.
Heritage sites damaged in the 2015 earthquake have been carefully restored, and Nepal welcomes visitors from all over the world every year.
Dozens of ethnic groups share one small country, each with its own language, dress and festivals.
Nepal has more festivals than most countries have months. Dashain and Tihar, the biggest, fill autumn with family gatherings, kites, oil lamps and marigold garlands. Holi brings colour in spring, and Buddha Jayanti honours the Buddha's birth in Lumbini.
Hinduism and Buddhism share temples, festivals and even deities. It's common to see a stupa and a Shiva shrine on the same street.
The Newar people of Kathmandu Valley are master woodcarvers, metal workers and painters. Carved windows and bronze statues are everywhere.
Around Chitwan and Bardiya, the Tharu people have lived beside the jungle for centuries. Stick dance, mud houses and village homestays give a warm look at their way of life.
From the madal drum to the sarangi, folk songs and dances mark weddings, harvests and festivals across the hills.
Simple, hearty and full of spice. These are the dishes our guests ask about most.
Rice, lentil soup, seasonal vegetables and pickle. Most Nepalis eat it twice a day, and refills are usually free.
Filled with buffalo, chicken or vegetables and served with a spicy tomato chutney. The favourite snack in every town.
Beaten rice with spiced meats, black soybeans, ginger and egg. Bold flavours that are best shared at a long table.
A ring-shaped, crisp-outside, soft-inside rice bread fried in oil, made especially during Tihar and Dashain.
A warm noodle soup with vegetables or meat, perfect after a cold morning in the hills.
Bhaktapur's creamy "king of yogurt" served in a clay pot, followed by spiced milk tea.
Nepal can be visited all year, but each season offers something different.
Warm days, blooming rhododendrons and good mountain views. A very good time for wildlife in the Terai.
Monsoon rain turns everything green. Fewer crowds and lower prices, but cloud can hide the peaks and roads can be slow.
Clear skies, crisp air and the big festivals. This is the most popular season for views and trekking.
Cold in the hills but sunny and pleasant in Chitwan, Bardiya and Lumbini. Excellent for jungle safaris.
