Its atmospheric capital Kathmandu, this rugged Himalayan land famous as home to Mount Everest and Annapurna is calm these days, and still pretty popular with the trekking and backpacking set. Great for Buddhist and Hindu temples, too.

  • After the violent anti-government protests this past September by mostly young people devastated Nepalese tourism for a time, it´s now on the rise again, and the latest development is that the government as of January 1 will launch a new digital registration system to track every foreign visitor, in a move officials say will boost safety and curb visa misuse.

  • Wow, I sure did not see this coming.
