Very few countries offer all that Nepal does by way of adventure travel and certainly not at its unbelievably low prices. Adventure travel to Nepal conjures up images of snow peaked mountain ranges and exotic locals but not everyone can trek extensively in the Himalayas for reasons of fitness or time available. But something everyone visiting Nepal should do is to take a flight over Mount Everest, the highest peak in the world. Very few mountaineers are lucky or experienced enough to climb Sagarmatha, as the Mt Everest is known in Nepal, but the thrill of seeing this majestic mountain and many others at close range is an experience not to be missed.

Nepal has a number of festivals both Hindu and Buddhist that you are sure to enjoy during your adventure travel to the lovely Himalayan country. Adventure travel to any place does not mean just sightseeing or participating in adventure sports but also learning about the ethnic culture and way of life. Nepal has numerous tribes who lead very different lives from what one can observe anywhere else. A very popular festival and quite unique to Nepal is the "Gai Jatra", or the procession of cows, celebrated in the Nepalese month of Bhadra that falls some time around August and September. The festival like most in the country is associated with mythology and the current form is a happy blend of modernity and medievalism.

In all of Nepal, Mount Kailash has been identified as one of the three most sacred places on Earth. Located in western Tibet, pilgrims have traveled here for nearly 15,000 years, believing their karma will be greatly enhanced by walking or crawling around the 52-kilometer perimeter of the mountain. Seeing holy visions is also not uncommon. This pilgrimage -- also referred to as a kora -- takes place in altitudes as high as 5,600 meters (over 18,000 feet).
