From rugged mountains to scenic coastlines, these countries offer thrilling paragliding adventures that will leave you exhilarated. Here are three of the best countries to spread your wings and take flight.

Switzerland

Renowned for its majestic Alps and pristine landscapes, Switzerland is a paradise for paragliders.

Popular paragliding spots include Interlaken, Zermatt, and Lauterbrunnen, where experienced pilots guide you through exhilarating flights amidst stunning alpine scenery.

Nepal

Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, Nepal offers paragliding adventures unlike any other. Take off from towering ridges and soar alongside some of the world’s highest peaks, including Mount Everest.

]]> Nestled in the heart of the Himalayas, Nepal is a land of breathtaking landscapes, rich cultural heritage, and warm hospitality, making it a must-visit destination for travelers seeking adventure, spirituality, and unforgettable experiences. From the towering peaks of the world’s highest mountains to the serene beauty of its ancient temples and monasteries, Nepal offers a wealth of reasons to visit. Here are three compelling reasons to make Nepal your next travel destination.

Epic Mountain Adventures

Home to eight of the world’s fourteen highest peaks, including Mount Everest, Nepal is a paradise for mountaineers, trekkers, and outdoor enthusiasts seeking epic mountain adventures. Embark on a trek to the base camp of Mount Everest and experience the awe-inspiring beauty of the Himalayas up close, passing through remote mountain villages, ancient monasteries, and breathtaking landscapes along the way. Explore the Annapurna Circuit, one of the world’s most iconic trekking routes, and traverse high mountain passes, deep river valleys, and lush forests while enjoying panoramic views of snow-capped peaks at every turn.

Spiritual Heritage

Nepal is a land steeped in spirituality and rich cultural heritage, with ancient temples, monasteries, and sacred sites scattered throughout the country. Explore the bustling streets of Kathmandu, Nepal’s vibrant capital city, and discover a treasure trove of architectural wonders, including the UNESCO-listed Kathmandu Durbar Square, Swayambhunath Stupa (Monkey Temple), and Pashupatinath Temple, one of the holiest Hindu shrines in the world. Journey to the serene surroundings of Lumbini, the birthplace of Lord Buddha, and explore the sacred pilgrimage sites and monasteries that commemorate his life and teachings. Experience the timeless traditions of Nepalese culture and hospitality as you participate in colorful festivals, cultural ceremonies, and religious rituals that have been passed down through generations.

Natural Beauty

Nepal is blessed with an astonishing array of natural landscapes, ranging from lush green valleys and dense forests to rugged mountain peaks and pristine alpine lakes. Explore the lush jungles and wildlife sanctuaries of the Terai region, where you can encounter exotic species such as Bengal tigers, one-horned rhinoceroses, and Asian elephants on a thrilling safari adventure. Trek through the picturesque landscapes of the Langtang and Annapurna regions, where verdant forests, alpine meadows, and glacial valleys offer endless opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and wildlife spotting. Discover the tranquil beauty of Nepal’s sacred lakes, including Phewa Lake in Pokhara and Gosaikunda Lake in the Langtang National Park, where crystal-clear waters mirror the snow-capped peaks of the surrounding mountains.

]]> The Annapurna Circuit is a trek in Nepal. It takes about two to three weeks to finish, starting in the Himalayan foothills, going over the Thorong La Pass, and back down to the Mustang Valley. It’s a great way to see Nepal, but it can also be difficult, with high altitude and unpredictable weather. So here are some things we think you’d better know before you head out.

When To Go

The best times to trek the Annapurna circuit are in October and November or April and May. This is because the weather during those months is usually pretty clear and dry without being too cold in the high altitudes. That being said, these are also the busiest times on the trail.

What To Bring

Like with any trek, it’s important to leave behind everything but the absolute necessities. You can often get a Nepalese porter to carry your gear, but they’ll have a weight limit, so do your best to pack light, focusing on warm clothes and leaving behind any luxuries.

A Note About Altitude

The Annapurna Circuit goes up over 5,000 meters high. Altitude sickness can happen anywhere above 2,500 meters. That means that you should take the altitude on the Annapurna Circuit seriously, drinking lots of water, taking it slow, and listening to your body.

]]> As the final month of autumn approaches and many of us are trapped at home due to the ongoing global health crisis, you might find yourself dreaming about an escape to a snowy, winter wonderland.

Fortunately, with the help of Google Maps’ Street View Trek of Everest Base Camp, you can do so from home!

Mt. Everest, straddled between Nepal and Tibet and the world’s highest mountain at 29,029 feet, is a place that few visit but many dream of.

The extreme altitude of the mountain means that only experienced climbers can reach its summit, and the thin air and complicated logistics of travel there make it hard to even reach the area around it. 

The base camp for climbers who are looking to summit the mountain, located at nearly 20,000 feet above sea level, can now be explored on Google Maps after climbers reached this magical place on foot with camera equipment in tow.

Marvel at the astoundingly large peaks and the ice and snow formations that you will find on this virtual tour and get lost in the dream-like environment of the world’s highest peaks. After you reach the base camp, you’ll marvel at the spartan accommodations that climbers must use before attempting one of the world’s toughest feats.

While we may never get the chance to travel to this unbelievable place, this virtual tour is the perfect way to experience it while being trapped at home.

]]> Nepal is a small South Asian country that is most famous for having part of the tallest mountain on Earth within its borders, Mount Everest.

Many people come to Nepal to climb this famous mountain, but, in recent years, it’s been so overcrowded that it’s becoming a fatal trek.

But, there is so much more to Nepal than just Mount Everest, and it’s truly a place of great beauty and adventure.

What to Do

Whether you’re a religious person or not, there’s no way you can skip out on seeing the town where Buddha was born.

In the small town of Lumbini, there are several Buddhist temples and monasteries as it is a place of pilgrimage for many Buddhists. The supposed birthplace of Buddha is in the Maya Devi Temple, so try to see it and as much as you can while you’re there.

Of course did the Germans built the nicest temple again, but only because the Dutch didn't built any. 😂 Now back on my way to Kathmandu for the last couple of days in Nepal. ✌ . .

Onto another religion and region, in Kathmandu, you cannot miss out on seeing the famous Hindu temple called Pashupatinath. This is the most sacred place for Hindus in the entire country and is another place where people make a pilgrimage to.

Just outside of Kathmandu is a small town called Bhaktapur. While it might not seem like much, the real attraction is the town square which is called Potters’ Square.

The city is famous for clay pottery, and the square is where the artisans leave their works out to dry in the sun. So, if you’re a crafty person or are looking for a unique gift to bring home, you have to head to this spot.

If you’re still a nature person but don’t want to train and push yourself to do Everest, there is still plenty of nature to explore in Nepal. One of the best places to go to is Chitwan National Park, which is a national park but also a jungle! While you’re there, you’ll definitely witness amazing wildlife like elephants, crocodiles, interesting birds, and perhaps one of the 600 rhinoceroses that roam the land.

Another wonderful place to visit if you love adventure and being outside is Lake Fewa. This lake is perfect for water sports, or just walking around the perimeter and taking in the beautiful views. Not only is the lake stunning on its own, but you have an up close and personal view of the Himalayan Mountains, which will absolutely take your breath away.

Food

Nepalese food is so delicious, you can’t visit without trying as many traditional dishes as you can.

One thing you will definitely see on the streets is momos, which are a type of dumpling filled with either some type of meat or often vegetables. It’s normally served with a red chili chutney that is to die for, so don’t be afraid to dip in!

One of the most recognized dishes in Nepal is dal bhat, which is a dish with rice, a soup made from lentils with vegetables and chutneys to accompany it.

The best place to get it is from a restaurant called Bhojan Griha in Kathmandu. This restaurant serves you a traditional Nepalese meal in 4 courses, and you will be so glad to have your belly full of traditional goodness.

]]> Kathmandu is the principal city of the mountainous country of Nepal. Situated about 1,400 meters above sea level, this city serves as the home to more than half of the population of Nepal. If you ever plan on visiting it, these are the things you should know:

The City of Fusion

Due to its position, Kathmandu was located in the middle of the ancient trade route between India and Tibet, which resulted in a fusion of culture, tradition and architecture.

Look Out for Celebrities

Because of its beauty and heritage monuments, Kathmandu is often choosen as the backdrop for many popular movies and TV shows. So, don’t be surprised if you see a celebrity wondering down the streets of the capital.

“Namaste”

In Nepal, people salute each other by touching both their arms saying “Namaste”, which means “I salute the God in you”. However, younger boys and girls are adopting to the modern life, so if you get in touch with them, freely greet them with a simple “hello” or “hi”.

Don’t get Freaked by The Freak Street

Freak Street is a very popular street in the capital of Nepal. Located located at the south of Kathmandu Durbar Square it gets its name from the hippie trail of the 1960s and 1970s. Then, tourists and hippies were drawn to the street due to government-run hashish shops.
