Locked between the snow peaks of the Himalayas and the seething Ganges plain, Nepal has long been home to wandering ascetics and tantric yogis. Consequently, the country has a wealth of sacred sites and natural wonders:
Annapurna — popular trekking region of Nepal with the world-famous Annapurna Circuit
Chitwan National Park — see tigers, rhinos and animals in the jungle
Daman — tiny village in the mountains offering panoramic views of the Himalayas; especially stunning at sunrise and sunset
Haleshi (Tibetan: Maratika) — the site of a mountain cave where Padmasambhava attained a state beyond life and death
Lumbini — the sacred site of the Buddha Shakyamuni's birth
Mount Everest — the tallest peak of the world in the Khumbu region
Nagarkot — a hill station one hour from Kathmandu offering excellent views of the Himalayan Range
Parping — the site of several sacred caves associated with Padmasambhava, the founder of Tibetan Buddhism
Tangting— a beautiful and undiscovered traditional Gurung village with a stunning view of the Annapurna range
