Namaste! Welcome to these pages on holidays in Nepal. Nepal is a country of legends influenced by its two direct neighbours: China and India. The birthplace of Buddha, enriched by its numerous temples and unique mountainous landscapes, has a lot to offer for its visitors. From the Tibetan temples to the valley of Everest, via the Himalayan mountain range, you will discover more than just simple landscapes during your travels in Nepal. Culture and religion hold a very crucial place in the discovery of « the dwelling place of God». A real ethnic blend, the Nepalese populace is welcoming and spiritual and will not hesitate to share their customs and traditions with you. Safaris in Nepal, riding elephants, trekking in the jungle, trekking towards Everest, this is what awaits the traveller that is avid of strong sensations and a change in scenery. With its cultural richness and exceptional environment, Nepal is a country that will not leave anyone indifferent. So, when is your next trip to Nepal?

Pokhara, which could have been a haven of peace after 3 weeks spent in the mountains, turned out to be an unpleasant culture shock, a real tourist town where the behaviour of the foreigners was a real contrast to the culture of the country.

Arriving at Yak Kharka means reaching 4000 metres of altitude (which is already fairly exceptional) after walking for a week (also atypical for me) in one of the most beautiful mountain ranges in the world. Needless to say, it's a really great feeling!
The spot consists of 5 lodges or tea-houses where you can sleep and eat. There's not much else to say... if you still have a little energy left, it might be worthwhile to continue to Ledar (1 hour / 1 hour 30 min further) which offers more beautiful viewpoints. If that is not the case, it's not a big problem! I spent a good part of the afternoon playing cards in one of the lodges and had a pretty good time. 
The trek around Annapurna is perhaps one of the most touristy of all Nepal, or even of the world. Many will tell you that the country offers plenty of alternative options that are much better because they are less well known. I have only done this one, so I can't really compare. This being said, it seemed great to me from all points of view (landscapes / trails / comfort / costs). So if you are planning to include it <a href="/nepal/">in your tour of Nepal</a>, don't hesitate for a second!
I should add that I visited Nepal before the earthquake of 2015, so it is possible that the places have changed since then.
