Nepal is a paradise for adventure enthusiasts. Being home to the highest mountain ranges in the world, trekking is certainly one of the main reasons people visit Nepal. Apart from trekking, Nepal also offers numerous activities for adventure junkies. Nepal is undoubtedly a Disneyland for adventure enthusiasts. Here is a list of the best adventures in Nepal:
Trekking in Nepal is probably the most significant activity. We believe that all mountaineers and trekking enthusiasts visit Nepal at least once in their life. There is something about trekking in Nepal that gives you a sense of accomplishment. The majestic Himalayas could make the trek so memorable and enriching.
The best thing about trekking in Nepal is that it has trails for everyone. Of course, the Everest Base Camp Trek is the best experience, but in Nepal, there are shorter trails like the Poon Hill Trek for those who don’t have much time.
The Annapurna Circuit trek takes about 16 days and passes through the hill villages of Nepal and gives you a glimpse of local life in Nepal. However, we believe that the Mustang Valley which borders Tibet is one of the best trekking experiences. Not many hikers frequent the Upper Mustang Valley due to the high permit fee ($500 for 10 days), but it’s worth it.
The currency of Nepal is the Nepalese Rupee (NPR).
You can convert all the major currencies in Kathmandu and Pokhara. You will find many currency exchange shops there. You can also exchange currencies at the airport and near the land borders.
Debit cards and credit cards are accepted in most hotels and restaurants these days. ATMs are widely available in all the major cities of Nepal. Most ATMs have a maximum withdrawal limit of NPR 10,000; however, some NABIL machines have an NPR 35,000 limit. But if you are traveling to interior places, then it is advisable to carry cash.
Power outages are very common in Nepal. Although most large hotels will have generator installations for power backup, it is always best to keep your mobile phones and cameras charged. Take a power bank with you.
Electrical outlets: The outlets are compatible with European plugs (three pins). Carry a universal travel adapter with you so you can use your electronic devices.
Nepali and Newari are the main languages of Nepal. Hindi is also widely spoken, as is English. Since Nepal receives many foreign tourists, most trek operators and Sherpas understand and speak English.
Nepalese cuisine has a strong Indian influence. Indian travelers will probably feel at home in Nepal. Nepalese cuisine is extremely good due to the Indian and Tibetan influences. Some of the Nepalese dishes that you must try are:
Yes, Dal Bhaat is the staple food of Nepal. You will find it all over Nepal and you will see people wearing t-shirts that say “Dal Bhat Power, 24 hours”! Dal Bhat is a prepared meal consisting of rice, curry and vegetables, and dal (a portion similar to a lentil soup). You can also add some non-vegetable items with you if you like. Dal Bhat is filling and one serving of Dal Bhat is enough to get you through the day. We both personally love the power of Dal Bhat!
We are all familiar with momos. They are the Nepali version of dumplings stuffed with vegetables or meat and served with spicy chutney. Steamed or fried, momos are the best snacks you can get in Nepal.
Tourism has increased in Nepal and hence there are various hotels, hostels, guest houses, and homestays in Nepal. There are tree houses in the trekking area for accommodation.
In all major cities and towns in Nepal, you will find accommodation for almost every budget. During high season, you can pre-book your accommodation. But in cities like Kathmandu and Pokhara, you will probably always find accommodation. Visit our website to reserve in advance.
Hindus are known for their many festivals. Nepal, being a Hindu nation, celebrates various festivals throughout the year. Furthermore, Buddhist festivals are celebrated with great fervor and enthusiasm. Nepal is a place where Hindu and Buddhist cultures inexorably mix. Both communities have borrowed customs and traditions from each other and coexist perfectly.
The Nepalese New Year celebration is one of the main festivities in the country. It usually occurs in the second week of April and the New Year is a time of week-long celebrations throughout Nepal.
Indra Yatra is another important festival of Nepal when the living goddess Kumari of Nepal performs before the common people. Indra Yatra is usually celebrated in the month of September. Dashain or Dussehra and Holi are also celebrated with great pomp.

Remember, the higher you go in altitude, the more expensive food and things will be. Be prepared to pay about 10 times the price for a higher altitude than you would in Kathmandu or Pokhara.
