並非隻有勇於攀登最高峰的登山者們才會戀上這個迷人的國度。令人眩目的自然風景，再加上地球上最高峰珠穆朗瑪峰，雲霧般的叢林中棲息著無以計數的野生動植物，這樣的景致和體驗對每一個遊客來說都不乏誘惑力。
近些年來，在全國範圍內的遊擊隊叛亂的影響下，這裏豐富多彩的文化和善良的人們也受池魚之殃，遊客數量急劇下降。當然，在政局逐漸穩定之後，尼泊爾又恢複了正常的生活秩序，遊客的數量也越來越多。
除了獨特的古印度教和佛教文化以外，尼泊爾的山峰秀色令遊客幾乎合不上嘴。這裏是徒步旅行者的天堂，風景如畫的山村被存在了數百年的山間古道連接起來，直至今天這些道路都沒有發生明顯的變化。沿途您還可以看到迷人的寺廟。
在這兒值得參與的旅遊項目有：
參觀或攀登尼泊爾境內珠穆朗瑪峰的較低山坡。珠穆朗瑪峰海拔8848米，是世界上最高峰，幾十年以來一直為世界上不少商業登山者開放。當然，不要忘記申請登山許可證。
登山：尼泊爾是徒步旅行者的天堂，這裏的山區景觀、遠古遺跡和村莊景色非常優美。徒步旅行最佳季節是9月至來年5月。去之前記得取得相關許可證，某些徒步旅行還需要中介機構。
租一輛山地自行車遊遍加德滿都的各個角落，參觀本地村莊，在納加爾果德觀看白雪皚皚的珠穆朗瑪峰景色。
在去往加德滿都（又名猴寺）的途中駐足觀看猴群，您還可以請西藏相士給您的前途算上一卦。
在著名的博拿佛塔，西藏流亡政府的文化中心附近購買西藏手工藝品和贗象品，這裏離加德滿都市中心很近。此外，還可以參觀山區小鎮廓爾喀的市場，這裏是古伊朗王朝代的發源地，以及廓爾喀士兵的原住地。
騎象前往尼泊爾最大的國家公園，皇家奇旺國家公園參觀，那裏有瀕臨滅絕的孟加拉虎和印度獨角白犀。
在邊境城市藍毗尼佛祖誕生地附近聽宣講佛經。
Nepal: the Closest Place to Heaven
It's not just mountaineers with their hearts set on conquering Everest who fall in love with the Himalayan country of Nepal. With stunning scenery, fringed by the highest peaks on the planet, leading down to steamy jungle packed with wildlife, there's something for everyone.
The colourful culture and friendly people received a bad press in recent years with a country-wide Maoist rebellion which saw tourist figures drop dramatically. However, the political situation has stabilised, Nepal is back on track to woo visitors with a warm, hearty welcome.
In addition to a distinctive ancient Hindu and Buddhist culture, Nepal has jaw-dropping mountains with spectacular scenery for walkers and trekkers. If there is a hikers' paradise, this is it, with picturesque mountain villages linked by hundreds of trails that have been used for centuries, with little change noticeable even today. Trails are dotted with intriguing temples to discover on the way.
Top things to do here are:
See or climb the lower slopes of Mount Everest, Sagarmatha ('Head of the Sky') in Nepalese. At an altitude of 8,848m, Everest is the world's highest peak and has been opened for commercial mountaineering for decades. Don't forget your climbing permit, however.
