You can see Annarpurna range from top. I saw Poonhill very clearly. My guide pointed to the viewing tower on Poonhill as well! I was so excited! Just imagine I was on Poonhill for sunrise days ago and now I viewing it from this plane!
a visit to patan, also known as lalitpur, is an absolute must.. known as the city of fine arts, patan boasts of the finest traditional crafts and a rich artistic heritage.. the main attraction of patan is the durbar square, where once was the ancient royal palace with 3 very interesting courtyards..admission fee is npr200 per person for foreigners..
In 60s, a number of Tibetan left their living place and stay at Nepal. Boudhanath is the place they build their 2nd house.The stupa in Boudhanath is the biggest one in Kamandhu.The atmostphere here is great. It's place where you find different from Kamandhu.
There are a number of sites nearby that are well worth your time to visit. Some of them, such as Patan, were once rival cities in the Kathmandu valley. Others, like Pashupatinath, are vitally important sites in the city's life. Both (along with others, such as Bhaktapur) are so closely linked to Kathmandu as to effectively be one city. Nevertheless, there are excellent reasons for paying a visit to each of them. (MORE COMING!)
Swayambunath sits atop a hill covered with two things: inanimate statues and hundreds of highly animated monkeys. You climb a long stone staircase, passing statue after statue of sitting Buddhas, generally about 15-20 feet high, painted in startling yellow, red, and blue. Once past these massive Buddhas, there are still more statues--of elephants, peacocks, horses, garudas (man-birds), and lions, arranged in pairs.Swayambunath is said to be the oldest Tibetan Buddhist shrine in the world. Though the present shrine dates from the late fourteenth century, it has been a religious site for at least a thousand years. It sits, like a crown, atop a hill several miles west of the city proper in Katmandu Valley. In the morning and again in the early evening, Buddhist pilgrims gather to walk clockwise around its base. Hindu pilgrims join them because the grounds of the stupa contain a number of...
this is a very popular festival in Nepal betwen Hindu people.People pay homage to LAXMI,the godness of wealth. Sisters bless their brothers making them the "tika" on their head and giving some presents. We were lucky because we were invited to a family celebration and also we were blessed like you can see in the picture
This is the best preseved place that we visited in our trip . The sky was cloudy but the atmosphere was magic. The temples,The royal palace ...and the whole town transported us to a very different world.
Manakamana is about 30-40 minutes from Gurkha village by bus.Here you can take a cable car up to the temple where all Nepalese wishes to visit at least once in a lifetime.Usually new-wed couples come to pray for a baby boy.And kind of a holiday resort for NepaleseGoats and chicken are sold in shops and apparently they got 'special' cable car just for carrying these animals up to temple for 'sacrifice'Tickets are a few dollars for foreigners (But for Indians it's almost a same price as locals pay) But I paid local price though..Good thing about 'universal asian look'
On the way from Pokhara to Kathmandu.There's a village 'Gurkha' a home of Gurkha soldiers.Direct bus from Pokhara is available.Here is peaceful and relaxing town.And one of most beautiful places to see sunset i've ever seen.There's also a palace on top of the hill around 30 minutes on foot and it's quite tiring and sometimes it's just closed.If you like a steep road and quiet but lovely town.Gurkha is the right place worth staying for a few days.
Visiting KEEP office could help you for informations you want.And sometimes they arrage trivia night where you can join them for fun trivias and meet other people,making new friends.Drinks and snacks are available for order,money goes to KEEP organization to do social activities.It was very nice night and trivia was fun! you will know more about Nepal too :-)Also just visiting there for free of charge information about trekking.Staff will help you and can give you an advise.If you still don't know where to go for trekking.Go to KEEP.There're also few books of 'Experience' from other travelers they have already done their treks.It might be useful for you.
