Reisroute
Nepal Discover Tours laat je de diversiteit van het land ervaren, de architectonische integriteit en eigenaardigheid, het culturele en traditionele erfgoed, historische plaatsen en monumenten, betoverende landschappen en de sensatie van jungle safari's, zodat je de hoogtepunten van het vernuft van Nepal kunt ontdekken en verkennen. Het biedt je de mogelijkheid om de UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Kathmandu te bezoeken, zoals het Kathmandu Durbar Square, de heilige Pashupatinath Tempel, de Bouddhanath Stupa, de Swayambhunath Stupa, Bhaktapur Durbar Square en het Patan Durbar Square.
De weelderigheid van het architectonische houtsnijwerk op de oude paleizen op de Durbar Squares is verbazingwekkend om te zien en ze geven het gevoel van nostalgie van vervlogen tijden. De tempels en de binnenplaatsen op de Durbar Squares zijn een sterke herinnering aan de geschiedenis en glorie van de monarchale dagen van Nepal. De paleizen en tempels op de Durbar Squares, versierd met ingewikkeld houtsnijwerk en prachtige Nepalese architectuur, zijn werkelijk een prachtig gezicht om te zien. De heilige tempels en stoepa's zijn ook groots en geven de tour een religieuze sfeer. De heilige tempel van Pashupatinath is een van de heiligste tempels en religieuze plaatsen van het hindoeïstische volk. De bouw ervan heeft ook een heel interessant verhaal. De tempel is gewijd aan Heer Shiva en ziet op de dag van Mahashivaratri duizenden pelgrims, zowel uit Nepal als uit India. Je kunt bij de tempel ook een crematieceremonie bijwonen aan de oever van de heilige rivier de Bagmati. Over het algemeen wordt de tempel omringd door Sadhus.
Ze zijn op zichzelf al een bezienswaardigheid door hun felle kledij van oranje en saffraan, gematteerde haren en beschilderde gezichten. De Swayambhunath Stupa, ook wel bekend als "de apentempel", is een van de oudste religieuze plaatsen in Nepal. De Bouddhanath stoepa is een van de grootste stoepa's van het land. De gouden torenspits van de stoepa doemt op tegen de azuurblauwe hemel en geeft alles een prachtige sereniteit.
Je rijdt ook naar Nagarkot Viewpoint om getuige te zijn van het verbluffende zicht van de opkomende zon vanachter de Himalaya Ranges zoals Dhaulagiri-gelegen in het westen van Mount Kanchenjunga. De aanblik van deze manifestatie is absoluut adembenemend; als de tint van de bergtoppen verandert van ivoorkleurig naar die van watervallen van gesmolten goud en brandend saffraan en amber, is het hemelse gevoel van het ervaren van zo'n prachtige beproeving moeilijk in woorden uit te drukken. De natuurlijke omgeving van Nagarkot is prachtig versierd en je zult ook de historisch belangrijke Gorkha Durbar zien, boordevol verhalen over de uitbundige geschiedenis van Nepal. Als je Bandipur bezoekt, word je onderworpen aan de charmes van de sierlijke nederzetting en kun je de tradities en levensstijl van de mensen daar van dichtbij bekijken. Het idyllische landschap van de plaats is gewoonweg prachtig en hemels, het smaragdgroene terrein van het land is een schoolvoorbeeld van een pittoreske ansichtkaart.
Bij een bezoek aan Pokhara, de stad aan het meer, kun je genieten van allerlei avontuurlijke activiteiten. Varen op het cyanische Fewa Lake is een mooi intermezzo tijdens je reis, omdat het water het beeld van de berg Machhapuchhre weerspiegelt in het kristalheldere, verzadigde aqua. Als je naar Sarangkot rijdt, kun je een prachtig uitzicht zien op de zonsopgang temidden van de bergtoppen. Tijdens een excursie naar Tansen, het hoofdkwartier van Palpa, kun je jezelf onderdompelen in de prachtige natuurlijke schoonheid van de plaats. Als je naar Lumbini rijdt, krijg je de geboorteplaats van Heer Boeddha te zien en veel van de omringende tempels, monumenten, historische plaatsen en religieuze bezienswaardigheden.
Je ondergaat ook een junglesafari waarbij je verschillende zeldzame dieren tegenkomt, zoals herten, luipaarden, neushoorns, wilde zwijnen, lippenberen en Koninklijke Bengaalse tijgers. De avifauna's van de Nationale Parken zijn ook prachtig om mee te maken. Eenmaal terug in Kathmandu breng je ook een bezoek aan de Manakamana Tempel, gewijd aan een Godin die de wensen van mensen vervult.
