Nepal

Hi there! We here at World Travel Family absolutely love the country of Nepal. In this archive you'll find posts about places of interest in Nepal, travel tips for Nepal and some of the big treks in Nepal. We've taken the kids to Everest Base Camp and trekked the Annapurna Circuit as a couple, touring Nepal several times for months on end.
Nepal is a country, its capital is Kathmandu and it is located in the Himalayas between China (north) and India (south.)
