Nepal is where the ice-cold of the mountains meets the steamy heat of the Indian plains. The Himalayas most sophisticated urban cultures took shape here, in the three great minikingdoms of the Kathmandu Valley - Kathmandu, Patan and Bhaktapur. Experience the spine-tingling sight of your first tiger or rhino in Chitwan. One journey through this land is rarely enough. The first thing many people do after a visit is start planning the next one. (quote: lonelyplanet.com)
