     Only in Nepal-You won’t find other places in the world

    Nepal is a small and broad nation located between India and China. It contains a nature, culture, and spiritual traditions that are unmatched. It is also home to traditional ways and amazing traditions within some of the most magnificent beauty you will ever see; you will notice that even in the same space you will see some of the most subtle, staggering, haunting, exeeding extraordinary beauty that you could ever imagine. The adventures unique to Nepal are extraordinary.

    1. Home to Mount Everest: The Roof of the World

    You will witness the grand skyline of the elevations rise over the horizon. The incredible view from Kala Patthar near Everest to the south face is the best. When you reach Everest Base Camp you will be able to view the Khumbu Icefall, the dangerous zone for climbers heading toward the summit.

    Above the records, there are multiple cultural meanings to Everest in Nepal known as “Sagarmatha” and “Chomolungma” in Tibet. As long as there have been climbers, trekkers, and adventurers, there has been the highest mass of land drawing people to the highest point on earth. Being up close and personal with Everest touches on the humanity of man and the power of nature.

    Everest Base Camp Trek will forever be a spiritual, physical, life, and cultural quantum leap in your life.

Each step closer is trekking on mythological mountain ranges, one hundred-year-old monasteries, old villages from one hundred years ago, and a soul-trek experience that will never leave your memory.

     2. The Living Goddess Kumari

    A Sacred Tradition of Kathmandu valley in Nepal, the country of older religion and spirituality, is also the home of the world’s strangest living ritualthe Kumari goddess, or Living Goddess. The flesh-and-blood embodiment of earth womanhood, the Kumari is an early-teen girl who must endure a stringent ordeal of selection and also be deified in crown ceremonies, celebration, and everyday living.

    kumari- only in nepal

    The everyday life of the living goddess, the Kumari, of Nepal is unsettled by ritual purity, complete isolation, and flawlessly symbolic religious significance. With her selection as early as the age of 2–5 years old, the Kumari says goodbye to the birth home and begins her goddess life at the Kumari Ghar (goddess house), the ritual house in Kathmandu Durbar Square. The Kumari’s role is symbolic in and of itself, as the devotees consider that Taleju (the goddess she incarnates) is present in her body.

    3. Birthplace of Lord Buddha

    Right in the middle of the peaceful plains of southern Nepal,  Lumbini is way more than history-it’s a spiritual thing. Utterly sacred, considered to be the birthplace of Siddhartha Gautama, it calls travelers and pilgrims alike to ponder over his life and teaching. It is also one of the  UNESCO World Heritage Sites 

    Mayadevi temple

    The Mayadevi Temple: Lumbini

    The Mayadevi Temple lies right at the center of Lumbini – a rather modest edifice with great relevance. It shows the very spot where Buddha was born. This temple also enshrines the Marker Stone, considered sacred as it shows the very spot where Siddhartha entered this world.

    Peaceful Meditation

    Lumbini is not a sightseeing place; it’s a place where one has stopped and reflected upon. Meditating in the calm Peace Garden, taking gentle strides along the silent canal crossing inside the complex gleaming white World Peace Pagoda represents harmony and brotherliness.

    4. Diverse Festivals All Year Round

    Indra Jatra slowed down in action when it mostly became a festival in the Kathmandu city regions to worship the rain god Indra.
