Kathmandu is the capital and largest municipality of Nepal. It also hosts the headquarters of the South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC). Historically, the Kathmandu Valley and adjoining areas were known as Nepal Mandala. The city has a rich history, spanning nearly 2000 years, as inferred from inscriptions found in the valley. Religious and cultural festivities form a major part of the lives of people residing in Kathmandu. Most of Kathmandu’s people follow Hinduism and many others follow Buddhism. There are people of other religious beliefs as well, giving Kathmandu a cosmopolitan culture.
Pokhara is the second largest city of Nepal as well as the headquarters of Kaski District. Pokhara lies on an important old trading route between China & India. Pokhara is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Nepal. Many tourists visit Pokhara Valley to see the Himalayan range and lakes. Pokhara is also famous for boating, trekking, rafting, and extreme sports like rafting, canyoning, and bungee jumping.
Chitwan valley is one of Nepal’s Inner Terai valleys between the Mahabharat and Siwalik ranges, both considered foothills of the Himalayas. Go on safari to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Chitwan National Park, a former royal hunting reserve that became Nepal’s first national park in 1973.
