Trek Himalayan trails, prayer-flag passes, and courtyard temples of Nepal
Visit Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal. Explore the Boudhanath Stupa (one of the largest spherical stupas in Nepal, a UNESCO site and center of Tibetan Buddhism), wander through Durbar Square (historic royal palace complex with temples and courtyards dating to the 12th-18th centuries), and sample momos (steamed dumplings, a popular street food).
Visit Pokhara, Nepal's adventure capital nestled beside Phewa Lake. Take a boat to the Tal Barahi Temple (a two-story pagoda on an island), hike up to the World Peace Pagoda (white stupa with panoramic Annapurna views), explore the International Mountain Museum (exhibits on Himalayan climbing history and Sherpa culture), and experience paragliding from Sarangkot (soar over the lake with mountain backdrop).
