2025 Nepal Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in May)

🌍 I keep turning the pages of the world, and a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step! Do I have to travel with someone? No, traveling alone is very free and easy, and I can travel the world with my suitcase! 🛕 Kathmandu, the "Land of the Gods", is an ancient city at the foot of the Himalayas, full of mystery and charm. When I stepped into Bhaktapur Durbar Square, I felt as if I was drawn back in time to a hundred years ago. I was wearing a local sari, and the light fabric swayed gently in the breeze, perfectly blending with the rhythm of the ancient city. 🛕 Standing in the square, I was surrounded by towering temples, with red tiles and golden roofs shining in the sun. The temples are dedicated to various gods, and the prayer flags flutter in the wind, making a rustling sound, as if blessing this land. 🕌 Kathmandu, the rich cultural atmosphere here is so overwhelming. Every detail reveals the weight of history and the depth of culture. I felt as if I could feel every soul on this land resonating with me, and my soul wandered peacefully and ethereally between heaven and earth. 👀 I closed my eyes and took a deep breath of the air of this land. I felt as if I had merged into a medieval painting full of faith, breathing and feeling with this ancient city, this land, and its people. ⚠️ Notes: 1. Kathmandu is very dusty, so it is recommended to wear a 😷; 2. The roads, traffic, pedestrians, and wires are all chaotic, so for safe travel, it is recommended to reduce the use of motorcycles 🏍️. There are many public transport vehicles and routes, and the prices are cheap, but most of the vehicles are old. Also, the roofs of buses are full of people, just like in India. 3. If you stay in Thamel, you can take a taxi to any place at any time, but remember to bargain in advance! 4. Remember to drink bottled water 🧃, as tap water is very dirty! 5. You cannot take pictures of the goddess in the Temple of the Living Goddess, and you must keep quiet. 6. You can overlook the entire city of Kathmandu from the Monkey Temple, which is worth visiting! 7. You can buy a SIM card in Nepal, and the internet is more stable than in any other place in Nepal! 8. The southern slope of the Himalayas has the world's most famous hiking and climbing routes, which are very mature, and there are inns and camps in the mountains. 9. Kathmandu is a chaotic city. When I was walking alone on the street, I was actually scared, so I didn't stay long and moved to the next place the next day! ✈️: There are three main airlines in Nepal: Buddha Air, Yeti Air, and Simrik Air; 💰 Exchange: There are many places to exchange money on Thamel Street, so there is no need to exchange money at the airport (not cost-effective);

Looking through other travelers' experiences, it was so scary, with a high attitude, a long way to trek and cold weather. But you know what, you can ask your friends or read other travelers shared their experiences but it's a different feeling when you experience it yourself. By the way it is good to have some information before you go, you can be well prepared for it. A following was my experience to ABC 9days in total, I was fight from Cambodia.

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! #Nepal #SwayambhunathStupa #travelfreak

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. Location: Nepal·Asia

#mountaineering #overseas travel #nepal #mountain_mountain_system On the second day of climbing (3/4/2023), from Pakding (2610m) to Namche Bazaar (3440m), a total of 10.9Km. The road is relatively flat in the morning, but all uphill in the afternoon. The whole journey takes about 5-6 hours. We had breakfast at 7:45am and set off at 8:30am! In the morning we will shuttle back and forth between the two banks of the Dudh Koshi River. Dhud koshi means milk river, as the name suggests the river water is the color of milk. Behind the river is the ancient peak of Thamserku, which is 6608m above sea level. We had lunch in the small town of Monjo at around 11 o'clock. We will pass several suspension bridges along the way, including the most famous double suspension bridge. Below is the old suspension bridge, which has been out of use for many years. The new suspension bridge above is named after Hillary, the first New Zealander to reach the summit of Mount Everest. After crossing the Hillary Suspension Bridge, it was a two-hour uphill journey. From Monjo (2855m) to Namche (3440m), it is already a higher altitude area, and we all climbed at a fast speed. Walk slower and your breathing will flow more smoothly. If you hadn't seen it with your own eyes, it would be hard to believe that in this era there were still villages and towns in the mountains that relied on human and animal labor for transportation. There are no roads, so everything from a roll of toilet paper to wooden boards for building a house has to be carried up the mountain by human and animal power over several days. Cherish any supplies on the mountain, they are really hard to come by... After 2 hours of slow climbing, we reached Namche Bazaar at 2:30 pm. Namche is surrounded by many snow-capped mountains. As long as the weather is good, you can see snow-capped mountains above your head. Namche is the largest town in the mountains and also a mountain paradise for tourists! There are hiking supplies stores, souvenir shops, currency exchange shops, coffee shops, and bars! In the afternoon, we all went to the cafe to chill ~ Of course, we also visited the souvenir shop. Since we will pass by Namche again on the way back, we have to hold back for the time being, but don’t touch your wallet ️💵🫣

1. “Shiva-Parvati Temple” Address - Nepal Highlights - Built to honor Shiva and his wife. The highlight that makes us want to see is the sculpture of Shiva and Parvati standing together in the window above. If you look closely, you will see that one of Shiva’s arms is wrapped around Parvati’s back and grabs his wife’s breast, tempting us to look repeatedly. Next to Shiva-Parvati Temple, walking past souvenir shops, we saw the back of a large stone slab. In front of it, people kept walking in and out with black marks on their foreheads. We couldn’t help but follow them to see it. In front of the stone slab is a large black stone sculpture with wide, scary eyes. Around its neck is a garland of human heads. There are many hands, some holding weapons, some holding human heads, and standing on human bodies. That is the sculpture of “Kal Bhairava” or Black Bhairava, one of Shiva’s forms that represents ferocity and power. Nepalese people highly respect it. Score - 8

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.

#springitinerary Mustang district is like stepping into a whole other world, super remote, rugged, and straight-up magical. It’s tucked away in northern Nepal, and the vibe is all about wild landscapes, deep canyons, and ancient Tibetan culture. The villages here feel frozen in time with old stone houses, prayer flags everywhere, and super friendly locals who seem to live life at their own pace. The trek through Mustang isn’t your average walk in the park, it’s more like an epic adventure through desert-like terrain, colorful cliffs, and hidden caves. Plus, you get a peek at some seriously cool monasteries that are way off the beaten path. It’s quiet, it’s raw, and it’s perfect if you want to escape the usual tourist spots and dive into something totally unique. Mustang’s got that remote, untouched energy that makes every step feel like a discovery.

#springitinerary Sagarmatha National Park is basically nature turned up to 100. You’re literally walking through the Himalayas, with snow-capped peaks all around and Mount Everest casually chilling in the background. The trails? Tough, yeah, but the kind of tough that makes you feel alive. You pass through tiny mountain villages, prayer flags waving in the wind, and yaks just doing their thing. The air’s crisp, the views are unreal, and every corner looks like a postcard. Even if you’re not summiting Everest, just being in the park feels legendary. It’s not exactly a quick stroll, altitude and steep paths are no joke, but it’s 100% worth it. Pro tip: take it slow, drink lots of water, and soak it all in. Sagarmatha is the kind of place that makes you feel small in the best possible way. Wild, humbling, and absolutely unforgettable.

#cityplaybook #localguides #attractive Location: Nepal–Tibet Border #MountChoOyu #HimalayanPeaks #8000Meters #TibetAdventure #NepalTrekking #HighAltitudeDreams #ChoOyuBaseCamp #QuietMountains #MountainExplorers #SnowySummits Mount Cho Oyu, rising to 8,188 meters (26,864 feet), is the sixth-highest mountain in the world and often called the "easiest" of the 8000-meter peaks to climb—though nothing in the high Himalayas comes truly easy. Located on the Nepal-Tibet border, west of Mount Everest, Cho Oyu offers a unique blend of scale and accessibility. Its name means “Turquoise Goddess” in Tibetan, and the mountain lives up to the name, with shimmering glacial slopes and broad snowfields that glow beneath the sun. For trekkers and mountaineers alike, the approach to Cho Oyu offers a peaceful alternative to the crowded Everest routes. The Cho Oyu Base Camp trek, especially from the Tibetan side, is remote, quiet, and richly scenic. You'll pass by windswept plains, ancient monasteries, and dramatic high passes that give way to staggering views of the Himalayas. Cho Oyu is often used as a training peak for Everest due to its less technical ascent, yet it remains a formidable challenge requiring strong acclimatization and alpine experience. For experienced trekkers, even reaching base camp is a deeply rewarding adventure, surrounded by crystal-clear skies and snow-covered giants. If you’re drawn to high-altitude beauty, wide Himalayan landscapes, and a taste of true mountain solitude, Mount Cho Oyu is a journey worth making.

#cityplaybook Explore the Majestic Khumbu Region, Nepal Tucked away in the northeastern Himalayas, Nepal’s Khumbu region is a breathtakingly beautiful land of towering peaks, ancient Sherpa culture, and world-renowned trekking routes. Best known as the gateway to Mount Everest, Khumbu is much more than just a stop on the way to the world’s tallest mountain — it’s a destination rich in adventure, spirituality, and natural wonder. Home to Sagarmatha National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Khumbu region offers dramatic landscapes of snow-covered mountains, glacier-fed rivers, alpine forests, and high-altitude valleys. Towering above it all is the majestic Everest (Sagarmatha), standing proudly at 8,848 meters, alongside giants like Lhotse, Ama Dablam, and Nuptse. The iconic Everest Base Camp trek draws adventurers from around the globe, guiding them through historic Sherpa villages such as Namche Bazaar, Tengboche, and Dingboche. Along the way, trekkers are immersed in the warm hospitality of the Sherpa people, whose deep-rooted Buddhist traditions, monasteries, and colorful prayer flags add a spiritual dimension to every step. Tengboche Monastery, the largest in the region, offers not only cultural insight but stunning views of the Himalayan range, making it a popular stop for trekkers and pilgrims alike. Despite the challenging terrain and high altitudes, the rewards of visiting Khumbu are immense — from sunrise over Everest to encounters with yaks and blue sheep, and moments of reflection in peaceful mountain lodges.

Prepare your boots, breathe the mountain air, and step into the heart of the Himalayas. #KhumbuRegion #EverestBaseCamp #VisitNepal #Himalayas #TrekkingNepal #SagarmathaNationalPark #NepalTravel #SherpaCulture #AdventureAwaits #HikingHeaven #MountEverest #ExploreNepal #NatureAndCulture
