Besides hiking and trekking in Nepal, what
other things can I do and see in Nepal?
Nepal is known as a non-stop festival country.
So it is use to be said that Nepal is a land
of festivals. Almost everyday is day of festival
in at least some parts of the country. Though
most of them are of religious nature, they are
almost always of joyous. Kathmandu Valley, with
its rich Newar heritage is the most colorful
place in the country. But other parts of the
country also have their own fanfare. Check out
the "Nepali Calendar" for details
on the major festivals that will occur during
your visit. Cultural Shows in Kathmandu and
Pokhara also provide you with some entertainment,
though they are far from being the real thing.
Check out the posters in various restaurants
and other public places in the tourist quarters
of Kathmandu and Pokhara to find out what is
going on.
About the existence of nightlife in Nepal,
there are many night bars and couple of nightclubs,
which stay open till late night in Kathmandu.
If you want to gamble a little and have some
fun, then you can drop into casinos at all five
star hotels in Kathmandu.
