From here, many trekking routes begin, including Annapurna Base Camp. Pokhara is where serenity and adventure meet.

The southern Terai region offers a completely different face of Nepal. Here, travelers can experience jungle safaris in Chitwan and Bardiya National Parks, spotting rhinos, elephants, and even Bengal tigers. The Terai is also home to the Tharu community, whose traditions and lifestyle give visitors a deep cultural connection. With fertile farmland and warm hospitality, the Terai is Nepal’s green, wildlife-rich frontier.
Remote & Offbeat Destinations – Beyond the Usual
For explorers seeking untouched beauty, regions like Upper Mustang, Dolpo, Manang, and Rara Lake reveal landscapes and cultures frozen in time.
