Himalaya
Kathmandu’s friendly hubbub, Pokhara’s glistening jewel of a lake, Chitwan’s animals and lush forests – Nepal can surprise visitors with its variety. But it’s the mountains that provide many a visitor’s lasting memories of the country: the panoramic views from the high passes of the Everest Range and the dramatic austerity of Annapurna are bewitching sights, as marvellous and seductive as mountain scenery gets. Time spent negotiating the terrain is again full of surprises, with tough slopes mixing with gentle valleys and peaceful wooded walks. Nearby Tibet is as wonderfully exotic as destinations get – halfway to heaven and hidden from the world, this is a place that truly deserves the description ‘otherworldly’. Discovering Lhasa then exploring the surrounding scenery, including gazing on Everest’s north face, is to gain an unforgettable glimpse of an alluring, elusive world.

"The scope and scale of this country is not something that can be gathered from either photos or stories. It is something that truly has to be seen to be believed"
