About the fact that it's cheaper to go trekking in Nepal during the Spring Festival than in China
It's true, it's cheaper to go trekking in Nepal during the Spring Festival than in China. This is the birthplace of Sakyamuni, where there are more gods than people, and more temples than houses; of the 14 snow-capped mountains over 8000 meters in the world, 8 are here.!! Nepal is a fairyland that outdoor trekking enthusiasts cannot miss.
There are many routes to cross Nepal, but the one I highly recommend is the Nepal ABC.
The Nepal ABC is the shortest route in Nepal, 9 days in Kathmandu, you can feel the worldly fireworks in the divinity, countless temples, up to 2700.
To the 'Little Switzerland of South Asia' - Pokhara, enjoy the royal holiday resort of Nepal.
Experience the romance of the sun shining on the golden mountain, look at the fishtail peak, the surprise is self-evident.
In the Annapurna base camp, 360° view of the shocking snow mountain panorama.

Picturious Highlands of Nepal is the place of absolute must travel location in your life...... Ancient cities filled with temples and pagoda..... Mountains as high as touching the space..... Its wonder feeling of serenity and peace.
wow Amazing Nepal 🇳🇵 . It is a small country with geographical variety and has many natural beauty inaugurated by god itself . It is not just a country it is a piece of art. I appreciate what my eyes see’s in Nepal and the beauty that endourse.
The Bohada Grand Pagoda, the world's largest round tower, is the oldest cultural heritage in the Kathmandu Valley of Nepal. It is generally believed to have been built by the 6th-century Li Chawei king, Shiva Deva, and is now a World Heritage Site.
is not only one of the most important monuments in the Kathmandu Valley, but also an important holy place for Tibetan Buddhism.
This is to mention the trade history between Tibet and Nepal. Lhasa is most closely connected with Kathmandu. The pagoda is located on the main road of business travel between the two places. The merchant travellers who travel to the difficult Himalayan snow-capped mountains, On the way, go to the big stupa and pray for peace.
I am deeply impressed by the fact that there are many shops around the stupa, and the door is full of colorful Thangka and various religious items. When I approach the monks or pilgrims, I can't help but smell a thick buttery smell. It was a kind of aroma that made me familiar. I thought it was a return to Lhasa.
[Summary of 33 travel experiences: If you can't eat hard, Nepal will make you more bitter]
Whether you are traveling with a group or free, combined with my two experiences in Nepal, the following suggestions:
/ Hh/1, can not backpack the suitcase;
2, can take the micro-single, do not carry heavy SLR;
3, to overcome all the bumps;
4, with a few bags of Laoganma spicy Dish;
5, essential light sleeping bag;
6, don't try the roadside snacks easily;
7, masks, hats, sunglasses, sunscreen can not be less, cosmetics less, unless you don't wear makeup people.
8, cold medicine, diarrhea medicine, stomach tablets, etc. should be prepared;
9, if you bring a small snack like beef jerky, please do not eat in front of Nepalese. The cow is a Hindu god.
10, when you experience paragliding, your legs are straight (especially girls), and the photo will look great, otherwise it will be very ugly.
11, April to September is the rainy season, bring your own umbrella and raincoat.
12, no matter how beautiful you are (girls), prepare light jackets and walking shoes, even if you dont climb on foot, it has a great effect.
13, regardless of the backpack or the tow bag, don't think about changing clothes for a day, the experience will tell you in vain.
14, the hotel hotel is generally not soundproof, light self-prepared earplugs.
15, Kathmandu, Pokhara suburbs have high-end restaurants and hotels, including five-star hotels. Reminder: It is best to bring your own toiletries.
16. If you are going to Chitwan to ride an elephant, please prepare mosquito repellent water. The accommodation environment is basically near the village or the jungle. In addition, there are sometimes geckos entering the room.
17, don't think about eating a good Chinese food in Nepal, although there are, but very few.
18, if you like to eat curry, try local dishes.
20, taking pictures of orphans in Kathmandu, is to give money! ! !
21, Fewa Lake Cruises After 3 or 4 pm, the experience of immersing in the sunset will make you unforgettable.
22, friends who like sports (such as myself), if you can stay in a hotel with a gym, but don't choose to run at night. The security environment in Nepal, I feel very good, but the city does not have a night running environment, don't let the road ruin your shoes and knees.
23, respect local customs and habits, some temples are forbidden to take pictures, so don't take a sneak shot. In some important places, there will be soldiers guarding. If you sneak a shot and be discovered, the consequences will be very troublesome.
[Buy and sell attention]
24, encounter enthusiastic hawkers, if you don't buy, don't entangle with it. If you buy, please boldly bargain.
25, if you want to buy vajra bodhi or phoenix bodhi, don't be blinded by "plastic".
26, Mosang diamond price is very deep, remember not to go to the compatriot shop to buy.
27, Pokhara's wool scarf is cheaper than Kathmandu (Tamil area).
28, on the street selling Bodhi bracelets, if the price of 500 rubles, the final may be 50 rubles, perhaps lower ~ (personal experience)
29, paragliding prices: 300, 500, 600. It seems that the price determines the quality of the experience, such as the length of time, the coach helps you to shoot videos and photos, teach you to pose and safety, etc. There is actually no difference.
30, the shop that can usually pay for Alipay WeChat, all prepared for Chinese tourists, the store will speak more or less Chinese.
31, buy souvenirs do not enter the store opened by their own people, will be pitted; in the shopping shopping street, shop around, slash;
32, local bananas, oranges are delicious.
33, local coffee is good.
Discovering Nepal🇳🇵
Despite looking quite small on a map, Nepal is a big country in practical terms because mountains, valleys, poor-quality roads, and limited domestic flights make getting around a challenge.

Durbar Square

I visited Nepal in june and did the ABC Trek!! I was lucky to have good weather going up hence the clear views! I highly recommend anyone who love mountains to give it a go! It is challenging but worth the view. Best seasons to go is spring and autumn (march-may) and oct-dec(autumn). The scenery does not disappoint!! Locals were also very welcoming:) #hiking ##mountain ##travelanywhere
Namaste, Swayambhunath Stupa
Swayambhunath Temple or also call as "Monkey Temple", overlooks most parts of the valley giving visitors a panoramic view of the city. The stupa has stood as a hallmark of faith and harmony for centuries with Hindu temples and deities incorporated in this Buddhist site. The glory of Kathmandu Valley is said to have started from this point.
Resting on a hillock 3 km west of Kathmandu, Swayambhu is one of the holiest Buddhist Stupas in Nepal. The entire structure of the Stupa is deeply symbolic: the whitewashed dome is the earth, the pair of eyes are Buddha’s eyes, and the nose-like structure actually represents unity. The 13-tiered-gilded tower represents the 13 stages to Nirvana.
It’s so peaceful and magical up here. You’ll see the lower dome, embellished with chains of prayer wheels, embossed with the sacred mantra om mani padme hum (‘hail to the jewel in the lotus’). Pilgrims circuiting the Stupa spin each one as they pass by. Fluttering above the Stupa are thousands of prayer flags, with similar mantras, which are said to be carried to heaven by the Wind Horse. Set in ornate plinths around the base of the Stupa are statues representing the five Dhyani Buddhas – Vairocana, Ratnasambhava, Amitabha, Amoghasiddhi and Aksobhya – and their consorts. These deities represent the five qualities of Buddhist wisdom.
The five different colours on the prayer flags also mean different things. The blue colour represents the sky, white signifies the air, red is fire, green is water, and yellow is earth. Each flag is printed with a different mantra to spread positive energy with the wind, and it’s also believed that prayer flags are never meant to touch the earth.
Up here, you can also see a few other religious monuments, sites and shrines such as the Swayambhunath Buddhist Museum and World Peace Pond, with its beautiful statue of a Buddha holding a cauldron. Visitors try to flip coins into the cauldron – if they make it, their wishes will come true! If you are in Kathmandu, you must visit the Stupa at least once. Or maybe twice! Trust me; it will leave you speechless. Namaste!
