Tourism
Nepal's
popularity as a tourist destination has increased vastly over the
last three decades. So have infrastructure and the possibility of
visiting the far-flung parts of this mountain kingdom. Today, tourism
is the major foreign exchange earner for the country and employs/engages
a sizeable number of locals. Nepal has now emerged as a destination
that prides itself on offering the best of services to traveller
and tourist, suiting a whole range of budgets and offering multiple
possibilities to explore this land.
Adventure
tourism here dates back to the early attempts to scale the world's
highest peaks. It has come a long way since. While trekking, mountaineering
and game watching have long been popular, an entire range of other
possibilities have been explored in the recent years- rafting, biking,
fishing, rock climbing, paragliding, ultra-light aircraft, hot air
ballooning, mountain flight, boating and bungy jumping.
This
varied landscape has some of the best sites for these activities,
raging rivers to run, mountains to scale, clear blue skies, challenging
treks, fine lakes and rivers to boat, fish and raft down, and a
wild terrain to ride. Come be part of the experience.
