A lot to explore except Mt Everest
This is the most popular myth about Nepal which is popularized by the Internet. Unsurprisingly, People believe what they hear from others and read on the Internet.

Leave the mountains and still, there is so much to be happy in Nepal. Treks like Everest Base Camp Trek, Annapurna Circuit Trek are there if you are a trekker. Likewise, there is a place for every adventure like paragliding, mountain biking, bungee jumping, rafting, kayaking, city sightseeings, cultural tours. Above all these, Annapurna Circuit Trek for trekkers, Lumbini-The birthplace of Buddha for culture explorers, and Paragliding in Pokhara are the things not to miss out on.
Off-Beaten Tracks
If anything comes second to mountaineering in Nepal then it is trekking in Nepal. The trekking trails here are world popular. But you cannot ignore the role of mountains in making Nepal’s trekking trails popular. Without mountains, trekking would be less fun in Nepal. In any of the treks you go, you’ll get abundant picturesque mountain views. For instance, Everest Base Camp Trek and Annapurna Base Camp Trek, Annapurna Circuit Trek are the most popular and also considered as the world’s best hiking trails.

The sad part is there are many other awesome, scenic, adventurous trekking trails other than those two. Yes, off the beaten tracks like Manaslu Circuit Trek, Tsum Valley Circuit, Gokyo Lake Trek does not get to host many trekkers despite having so much potential. Therefore, do a search for the unfrequented trekking trails of Nepal and go on one of them. Then you will realize what we are trying to point at.
Handmade Souvenirs
The other thing that most of the visitors miss doing in Nepal is to take the handmade souvenirs from here for them or their friends. If you have been to Nepal, then you should have seen the alleys of Nepal dotted with many gift shops. There are so many things that you can choose from to get for you or your loved ones. However, not all of the souvenirs in the Nepali market are good to take away. Therefore, you should act like an experienced buyer while buying things for you.
Go for the handmade, organic, locally made Nepali products than the imported ones from other countries. For example, handmade tourists’ favorite Hemp Backpack and Tibetan Singing Bowl for meditation are the two must-buys from the Nepali souvenir shops.
A cow is God not meat here!
This is one of the most important things that you should know before traveling to Nepal. Especially, if you are a beef lover, this fact is for you so that you can be prepared for avoiding beef until you are in Nepal. To think Cow as a meat item is a sinful thing in Nepal.
As you may know, Nepal is widely populated by the Hindu peoples and once it was the only Hindu nation in the world. And for Hindu, Cow is the sacred animal of all for them and they worship of Cow in various festivals there. Also, Cow is the official national animal of Nepal. So, it’s better to forget about beef foods when in Nepal. Instead, you can enjoy chicken, mutton, buff(buffalo) blended dishes. Therefore, if you can dodge beef for some days then only visit Nepal.
A wealthy country in Natural Resources
Nepal is a developing country so you should not expect it like any other developed country. But, Nepal is one of the richest countries when it comes to natural resources. Other than mountains, rivers, lakes, vegetations, hills are the things that are with Nepal in an abundant amount.
Besides that, there are other things in big numbers like floras and faunas. Nepal is home for some of the endangered, unique, indigenous, endemic animals. With such more than enough natural resources, you get to enjoy and explore the natural side of Nepal. Being in Nepal is a feel closest to nature. As you know the greatest wall between humans and nature is urbanization and modern life. But, in Nepal, you won’t see that wall like in the other countries, it’s just you and nature.
