Nepal holds eight of the world's ten highest peaks, including Everest, yet its magic is as much human as it is geological. This is a land of fluttering prayer flags, ancient temple squares and some of the most generous people you will ever meet.
The Himalaya defines the north, with legendary trekking routes for every level. But descend to the lowland jungles of the Terai and you enter a different world of rhinos, tigers and elephant grass.
For 2026, Nepal is the ultimate soft-adventure and mindful-travel destination: tea-house treks, community lodges and Buddhist monasteries offer a rare chance to slow down and reconnect at altitude.
