Unique Experiences You Shouldn’t Miss in Nepal

Nepal offers moments that stay with you long after you leave. In the hills of Gorkha, the Gurung community still practices cliffside honey hunting, where hunters climb vertical rock using handmade rope ladders. If trekking is not possible, a short mountain flight from Kathmandu takes you close to Mount Everest and several other peaks above 8,000 m in just about one hour. For adventure lovers, Nepal is home to canyon swing at The Last Resort and paragliding in Pokhara, which is considered one of the best tandem flying spots in the world.

Cultural and spiritual experiences in Nepal are equally unique. At Pashupatinath Temple, hundreds of people gather every evening to watch the Sandhya Aarti. In Kathmandu Durbar Square, visitors receive blessings from the Kumari, a living goddess worshipped by both Hindus and Buddhists. In the Everest region, Khumjung Monastery houses what locals believe to be a Yeti relic that attracts curious travelers every year.
