Synopsis
Nepal is famous for the sweep of its Himalayan peaks - including eight of the world's ten highest - and its capital, Kathmandu. But beyond these well-known attractions lies a country of astounding diversity, containing teeming jungles as well as mountains, idyllic villages as well as ancient cities and a dozen ethnic groups in addition to the renowned Sherpas. This guide provides maps and practical sections on trekking, mountain biking and rafting. Packed with information, it takes the reader behind the scenes and off the beaten track - to tea gardens, Tibetan refugee villages, monasteries, wildlife parks and hilltop forts.
