Nepal is the independent, secure, but suffering Himalayan country, especially after the terrible earthquake that took place in April. Yet it is a country of cheerful people, full of life and who offer their best smile to travellers.
Some of the monuments of Kathmandu and the medieval buildings were severely damaged during the earthquake, but the streets are still full of life, the shops full of precious goods, and especially the locals who ooze charm.
It is a country where we can find the wonderful mountains of the Himalayas, for lovers of trekking; lush forests filled with wildlife; breathtaking rivers and an incredible diversity of peoples, each with a culture to discover.
Perfect to combine with Tibet!! Where we have to go now!! It is rumoured that the Chinese government will monopolise transport companies, and prices, already too high, will double!
