101 Things To Do in Nepal
21. Surf on Everest!:
Check your emails
and browse the internet from cyber-cafes in Nepal. You will find
at least sex of them located near your accommodation! How about
going for the highest cafe in the world? Trek to Everest base
camp, and browse internet from the Everest base camp cyber-cafe, the highest cafe in the world!
22. Nepali Fashion Boutiques:
Tailor your Nepalese national dress or your
western outfits from world-class Fashion Boutiques located in
the Capital. Hop
into a boutique,
select your choice of fabrics, and a design, then after a day or two
you are ready to
take back home your an exquisite fashion wear. A top and a pair of pants with simple light embroidery
costs less than $30
23. Ride bicycles:
Ride bicycles as you discover places, and a
way of Nepali life. Make your own roads, and rest anytime,
anywhere for
the refreshing views of the awe-inspiring mountains and valleys. A
classic biking adventure is the 70 kilometer slender road starting
from Balaju to the west of Kathmandu city across Kakani, Trisuli
bazaar and Shivapuri, and then descending back to the Kathmandu
valley.
24. Watch Nepali or Hindi movies:
Watch Nepali
Cinema. It will be your new experience of 2 and half hours of
actions, drama, songs, dance, and clippings. Go to Gopi Krishna
cinema hall in Chabahil to pick your choice of Nepali or Hindi
movies.
25. Hollywood blockbusters:
Until recently,
English movies couldn't find a theater in Nepal. But now, you have
the Jainepal Cinema hall running
only the blockbusters in an international standard's theater
environment. Walk towards Durbarmarg for 5 to
10 minutes from Thamel, you will soon be in the world of screen
and
popcorns!
26. See real Nepali folks
Spend a day with
Nepali folks living up
in the remote villages. Get closer to the untouched valleys and
seize the smiles of villagers. To see real Nepal, you
must trek to the villages. Don't just visit Kathmandu and pack
your bags.
27 Shop in Thamel
In Thamel, take an hour's walk without
shopping a single thing. Can you challenge that?
Tempting exquisite souvenirs such as the Nepali handi-crafts,
outstanding thangkas, Nepali garments, and mouth watering local
and international cuisines virtually web
the entire Thamel streets.
28. Make Nepali friends:
Nepalese are
hospitable by nature. A part of the reasons why tourists revisit
Nepal is because of friendly Nepalese people. Make some friends
through the internet, and meet them when you arrive in Nepal.
29. Tudhikhel and Ball:
Play soccer (football)
or cricket with Nepali teenagers in Tudhikhel, Kathmandu. Lavish green-carpet
isn't always necessary to kick the ball off! People of all
ages can be found at this playground, some playing games while
others resting and eating peanuts. The fact that this
playground looks like an abandoned dessert is because of so many
problems this capital faces. To name a few of such problems are; (a) decentralization
problem (b) pollution problem (c) Unemployment problem (d)
Traffic congestion problem. Consider having all those problems back at home and still
finding a playable ground like the Tudhikhel.
30. Bungee Jump:
Do the most
spectacular jump in the world. A 166m wide steel suspension
bridge, the longest suspension bridge in Nepal, offers you a depth
of 160 meters for that awesome jump of your life time. You won't
forget your jumps in Nepal.
