2 Weeks in Nepal – Culture & Trekking Sample Itinerary

“My friend, Nepal only has one thing to offer… mountains!”

As I drove into Kathmandu, I saw more tourists wearing trekking boots than flip-flops (although maybe the mud had something to do with this…). Finding a trekking gear store or trekking tour operator in these parts seemed about as difficult as finding a casino in Vegas.

Of course, there may also be plenty of Hindu and Buddhist temples to see, traditional villages to visit, and rhinos and tigers to chase (specifically in Chitwan National Park), but Nepal’s snowy peaks are clearly what brings many people here in the first place. Certainly, the epic landscapes didn’t disappoint!
