Annapurna Mountain Range

One of Nepal's famed mountain ranges, the Annapurna consists of several peaks of varying heights. Of these, Annapurna I and Annapurna II are the tallest at almost 8000 meters providing a spectacular panoramic view for anyone visiting the Himalayas.

Reviewed By theadventurousfew - Brisbane, Australia

One of the world's most famous treks for good reason. The scenery covers everything from lush forest and rice paddys (in the lower sections) to arid valleys (around Manang and mustang) and of course, the 5400m Thorung La pass! And all along the way your have this amazing backdrop of the Annapurna range and other Himalayan giants. Plan on at least 2 weeks to enjoy the trek - or more if you want to do some of the side trips available. Lodging is easy to find pretty much year-round although it gets very busy in the peak seasons (April & September). Bring warm gear, a strong pair of legs and a sense of adventure :)

I have been coming to Jiva for years and I absolutely love their massages! I particularly love the body scrub. The whole experience is great- a nice lemon water to start, really professional staff, lovely private cabins, and heaters and hot water bottles in the winter. The body scrub leaves you feeling lovely and soft. I would definitely recommend the scrub followed by massage for ultimate relaxation! :)

Movie Garden

A British/Nepali collaboration. Movie Garden was conceived to create a truly unique experience of the greatest films of the last 50 years. Our location is hidden away at the jungle's edge in North Lakeside with a panoramic backdrop of Fewa Lake. Half covered and half open-air seating keeps the show on the road no matter what the weather and flashes of thunder and lightning can make for some of the most memorable nights of the year! We make our own pizza to authentic Italian recipes and keep the bar fully stocked so you can get a refreshment and soak up the view before the film begins. After the show is over we often find ourselves lingering until late to swap stories with the always varied mix of travelers, volunteers, adventurers and locals. Come and say hi sometime!

Into Nepal

Namaste, my friends, my name is Arjun Adhikari and I’m Nepalese guide and founder of Into Nepal. I offer day tours. Since I was kid playing on the slopes of Himalayas, I had a dream of becoming tour guide one day so I can show people what I could see – how beautiful Nepal is. It’s been close to one decade now since I’ve been guiding people from 40 different countries to the best Nepal can offer.
