Travel to Nepal, India with Jaya amid mountains, holy places, and the world’s friendliest people. The natural environment is almost too obvious to mention, but it’s a top 10 destination for 2023 for a reason. The lowlands bordering India offer amazing options for wildlife tours, while the towering Himalayan mountains offer some of the best hiking in the world. In this article, Jaya Travel & Tours curates the best spots that’ll inspire your next Nepal vacation.
When Is Best Time to Visit Nepal?
We advise travelling to Nepal after the monsoon season (late September – late November) when the sun is warm, the air is fresh, and the mountains are most visible. Regardless of where you choose to travel in India on vacation, this is the best time.
If this isn’t ideal, then mid-February to mid-April can also be a good time to travel. The days are long and the weather is warmer, which creates perfect hiking conditions.
What are the Top Places to Visit in Nepal?
Kathmandu:
From trekking to the Mount Everest base camp to taking in the views of the mighty Himalayan Mountains, almost every journey in Nepal begins from Kathmandu—the country’s capital city. A metropolis of more than 1 million people, it’s a mash-up of tourist stores, hotels, religious sites, and artisan studios.
Despite the fact that Durbar Square is being repaired following the tragic earthquakes, there are other worthwhile, intact sites. The historic Buddhist complex of Swayambhunath is a must-see destination with panoramic views of the Kathmandu Valley. The Swapna Bagaicha, commonly referred to as the Garden of Dreams, is another popular tourist destination.
Lumbini:
The pious Lumbini witnesses thousands of Buddhists visiting to complete their religious pilgrimage or find peace and tranquility. Here, the mother of Buddha gave birth to Lord Buddha close to a tree in the garden—which is now the site of a temple in her honor.
The complex, in a small park created by Japanese architect Kenzo Tange, also includes numerous monasteries, holy ponds, meditation facilities, and cultural buildings. By visiting the Panditarama Vipassana Center you can engage in a yoga treatment, learn about the location’s cultural significance, and catch a glimpse of the monks who practice close to the monastery.
Nagarkot:
Nagarkot is renowned for its picture-perfect views, making it the ideal place to enjoy the majesty of the Himalayan Mountains without strenuous physical effort. The city is catered towards luxury relaxation and fresh air, rather than being a resort that offers dozens of outdoor activities.
Only a stones-throw away from Kathmandu, Nagarkot is well renowned for its breathtaking views of the Himalayas and eight other mountain ranges. These include the Annapurna, Langtang, Jugal, Everest, and more. Travelers will never forget watching the sunrise rise above the snowy mountains.
Chitwan National Park:
The Chitwan National Park in south-central Nepal provides much-needed refuge for rare and endangered animals. For tourists, the main draw is the opportunity to see exotic animals. A tranquil method to visit the Chitwan National Park is by a canoe ride on the Rapti or Narayani River. Another great way to get involved with the exotic animals is by taking a guided jungle tour or safari. The majority of the group has a high chance of witnessing magnificent creatures like rhinos, birds, and monkeys.
Pokhara:
Pokhara is a top 10 destination for vacation because of its serene lakes, grassy shorelines, and mountain views. Pokhara Valley, the entrance to the Annapurna region, is where many trekkers find their inner peace.
Phewa Lake, the biggest of Pokhara’s three lakes, is surrounded by hotels, cafes, and shops. A shrine to the goddess Barahi Bhagwati is located on an island in the nearby lake, where rituals are performed almost every weekend.
