The first thing that reminds us of Nepal- Land of the Himalayas is the series of never-ending hiking routes. A few years back, there were not many options available than backpacking trek. But the image has been changed over the course of time. Tourism has been recognized as the largest contributor to sustainable economic development and many big and small business tycoons have emerged as the leader to push tourism in Nepal to its full potential.
Although Nepal is a small nation, the diverse geographical variation opens the door to immense possibilities in Nepal. Although trekking in Nepal is still the preferred way to reach to the remote Land of Himalayas, the abode of Gods, trekking is not only the activity that Nepal is known for.
