Visit Nepal from Mauritius

The cultural settings in Nepal are as varied as it is diverse in physical features. Its people consist of different ethnic groups and speak many different languages. It lives in everything from heavily populated, old cities that are bursting with pagoda-crowned Hindu temples to villages on steep rice-farming terraces and dusty villages covered by high settlements around tiny monasteries. 

Religious rituals cover everything from Indian-style Hinduism to Tibetan Buddhism and from nature worship to shamanism – the indigenous Newars, in the meanwhile, combine all these traditions with their pious tantric practices.

Yet, the cultural richness owes something to the shaping power of the landscape itself, and to the fact that the country has never been colonized. This is a nation with deep national or ethnic pride, an amazing gift for festivals and parades, and a strong regard for tradition. With their internationally admired ‘hard man, soft heart’ attitude, they are famously independent, hard, friendly, tough, and courteous; qualities as best showcased in the exploits of Gurkha and Sherpa soldiers.

Visit Nepal from Mauritius

Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, is a thrillingly foreign circuit with its medieval labyrinth of alleyways, Hindu temples, and Buddhist stupas and its uncommonly laid-back nightlife. The city, however, becomes increasingly hectic, and many of the visitors make day trips into the semi-rural Kathmandu Valley, and the astoundingly well-preserved medieval cities of Patan and Bhaktapur, or spend a night on some of the mountain viewpoints on the valley rim, such as Nagarkot, in the Central Hills.

Whenever one thinks of Nepal, Kathmandu springs to mind, with its electrifyingly exotic medieval maze of alleyways, Hindu temples, and Buddhist stupas that form its uniquely slow-paced after-dark scene.
