Overview

For a moment, you forget the comforts of life you craved 364 days. Nepal is an astonishing country because it shows you what you have never expected. The nature of Nepal that the world values are the mountains, the remote trekking trail, and the environment of the remote place. Nepal also has what your country had already left behind, such as beliefs and old infrastructure. Also, it shows you what you want to see only during the trip. Its nature has power; it has the power of beauty; it has the power to entice you. There is no doubt that Nepal is the country of nature, and nature is a thing of want; nature is a word that has a wide meaning, and you should not limit its meaning because it corresponds to your trip. It is associated with your trip called the Ghorepani Poon Hill Trek where the things of comfort become the least valuable to you.
