Everest may be its most famous site, and Lumbini one of its holiest, but Nepal has plenty more to offer. Annapurna is the country¡¯s other great trekking location, while Chitwan National Park is home to some of the region¡¯s rarest wildlife, offering the chance to spot the endangered Bengal tiger, as well as leopard and rhinoceros.
But wherever you base your trip within Nepal, you¡¯re likely to have a few days to spare in Katmandu at the beginning and end of your visit. There¡¯s much to see and enjoy in the city itself, while the Katmandu Valley is home to two fascinating towns, easily reached by taxi or public transport.
