Travel in Nepal is generally quite easy. You can usually get around on foot, by car or by bus. Motorbike is also quite popular. There are hotels in every region, as well as great car rental companies which give you the means to drive yourself around the country. There are also a few domestic flights which may come in handy if you are planning to go to a specific region in Nepal, otherwise most people opt to hire a vehicle. Much of the initial attraction of Nepal comes from the fact that so many of us do not know as much about this mountainous country as we do about even more inaccessible places. Kathmandu is on the air map, and is actually relatively easy to reach from any part of the world. This capital city is conveniently small by metropolitan standards, and every adventure tourism venture can begin within just an hour of landing in the midst of the splendid foothills of the Himalayas. This does not mean that there are few things to see and to do in and around Kathmandu, but most people are so eager to get amidst the verdant countryside that the usual sightseeing and shopping is best left for the end of your stay.
Nepal is so blessed with gurgling rivers, luxuriant forests and pristine wildlife that it can easily accommodate entire lifetimes of adventure tourism! However, a trek to the Base Camp of Mount Everest comes with a host of such tempting attractions, that it is a clear winner by miles for anyone with just one Nepal visit in mind. The spectacular views of the legendary mountain, the sense of achievement of living in the hallowed grounds which have hosted so many record setting expeditions and the heavenly scenery, are all ingredients of a top adventure tourism foray. However, it is the friendly, though hardy, mountain folk who live all along the trek path, who make the most indelible impressions on every trekker.
Adventure tourism is never for couch potatoes, but even those who pride themselves on peak fitness levels should prepare for the rigors of high altitude trekking, which a visit to the Everest Base Camp involves. It is best to pick a reliable tour operator, because their check lists and experience make for a trouble free and most enjoyable vacation.
Hotels
No matter how long you plan to stay in Nepal, you will likely appreciate a great bed and great service. There are a number of Hotels – big and small – as well as other sorts of accommodation which offer great service and clean facilities. While some cater to the rich, others offer budget accommodation so you will be able to find just what you need. You can choose from a luxury five star hotel, a small hotel, a bed and breakfast or a guest house. Due to the low value of local currency, most accommodation is easily affordable and the staff are exceptionally helpful and friendly.
Car Rental
Most visitors to Nepal choose to hire their transport as it is one of the easiest ways to get around. The roads are not all in good condition so it would be wisest to choose a car that can handle less than perfect terrain. Most major car rental agencies have a branch here though some have a better range and better prices than others.
