Kathmandu, Pokhara, and the Annapurna circuit.

Opinions on Nepal Very refreshing if you have just come from India . One is not hassled 24 hours a day and the people are much more reserved. Hiking the up to the Annapurna Base Camp was great.

The views of the Annapurnas w ere beautiful and well worth the ups and downs getting there. Kathmandu is really laid out for the tourist, with every western food possible.

Places we stopped.

Katmandu

8/10

Katmand u is the capital of Nepal with many temples and historical things to see. Tourists usually stay in the Thamel District where you find budget accommodation all kind of restaurants and good bakeries. Katmandu is the best place to arrange tours to Tibet.

Spiritual

Pokhara

7/10

Here is where you organize your Annapurna Treks. The city is becoming a tourist area especially in the Lakeside District. Like in Katmandu it caters to t ourists .

Trek

Annapurna Sanctuary Trek

9/10

A beautiful tough trek straight through the Annapurna Mountain range to the Annapunra Base Camp (ABC) at 4130 m eters. It is well worth the hike which takes you constantly up and down. We did the hike in 7 days, but would recommend that you take a little longer to do it.
