Wedged between the high wall of the Himalaya and the steamy jungles of the Indian plains, Nepal is a land of snow peaks, Sherpas, yaks, monasteries and mantras. Legions of trekkers are drawn to the Himalaya’s most iconic and accessible hiking, some of the world’s best, with rugged trails to Everest, the Annapurnas and beyond. Nepal is a nirvana for mountain lovers, but other travellers can get their adrenaline rush by either rafting down a roaring Nepali river or bungee jumping into a bottomless Himalayan gorge.
