The Everest View trek allows you to immerse yourself in the culture of the local Sherpa people, as it passes through well-known villages such as Lukla, Phakding, Namche, Khumjung, and Khunde. Heavily influenced by Buddhism, each village in the region features fascinating ancient monasteries along with several Mani Walls, Chortens, Stupas, and colorful prayer flags adorning the trail.

Chitwan National Park,
Chitwan National Park is located in southwestern Nepal and spans an area of 932 square kilometers. It is renowned as Nepal's first national park, well-known for wildlife safaris. Visitors can observe various wildlife, including wild elephants, white-footed gaur (the world's largest wild cattle), leopards, wild boars, sloth bears, and several species of deer, such as spotted, barking, sambar, and hog deer.
Chitwan National Park is home to the one-horned rhinoceros and boasts one of the largest populations of the exclusive and rare Royal Bengal tigers. Its swampy areas and numerous oxbow lakes provide an ideal habitat for marsh crocodiles. The park is also a haven for birdwatchers, hosting 450 different species of birds. Additionally, the Tharu people, known for their unique cultural traditions, inhabit the region surrounding the park.
Bandipur Village,
Bandipur village is situated between Kathmandu and Pokhara, above the Dumre highway. This charming Newar town boasts a rich history, unique architecture, stunning views, exciting caves, and untouched landscapes, all at an altitude of 1030 meters.
Bandipur offers breathtaking views of the Annapurna range along with Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, and Langtang peaks, all overlooking the Marsyangdi valley. Bandipur was once a prosperous trading center, as its charming buildings with their neoclassical and shuttered windows will attest. Originally a simple Magar village, Newars from Bhaktapur settled here in the early nineteenth century, taking advantage of its malaria–free location to develop it into an important stop on the India–Tibet Trade route.
Pokhara,
Pokhara is located at an altitude of 827 meters above sea level, approximately 200 kilometers west of the Kathmandu Valley. The Prithvi Raj Marga highway connects Pokhara to Bhairahawa via the Siddhartha Raj Marga near the Sunauli border.

Pokhara offers breathtaking views of Dhaulagiri, Manaslu, Machhapuchhare, and the five peaks of the Annapurna Himalayas, among others. The city is home to several lakes, known as "Tal" in Nepal. The famous Phewa, Begnas, and Rupa lakes are particularly well-known in Pokhara. Additionally, the city is recognized as a hub for adventure, serving as the starting point for many popular trekking and rafting destinations. The tranquility of Phewa Lake, combined with the stunning backdrop of Machhapuchhare (6,977 m) rising behind it, creates an atmosphere of peace and enchantment.

October, November, and December are considered the best months for a visit to Nepal. The main festivals of Dashain and Tihar (two important Hindu festivals) are being celebrated during these months. The skies remain clear for great views, and the temperature is pleasant for trekking and touring.
March, April, and May are the best times to travel in the Spring season, as the rhododendrons are then in full bloom on the hills. December to mid-February is suited for travels well below the tree line and for die-hard adventurists, looking for extreme situations higher up!
