Outdoor adventures to do in Nepal

Monday, February 8th, 2010

Flying can be rather dangerous in Nepal but it also also be very enjoyable. Capital city Kathmandu is surrounded with high mountains and you will have to fly between mountains to a different city within Nepal. Flying experiences for me in Nepal was one of the scariest but very exciting experience I have had so far in my life. Here are some activities you can do in Nepal.

For site seeing of Himalaya it is wise to catch a morning flight to get a clear view of the Mountains and the Landscape. Airlines such as Tara Air and Buddha Airways provide cheap flights to different destinations of Nepal. It gives you an opportunity to see different sides of Nepal including mountains, white river and green landscapes. It is vital to book and reconfirm your flight a few days ahead as local flights in Nepal can change at a moment’s notice. If you are travelling to a remote destination it is vital you should do this.

If you are looking to go to the range of Mount Everest, there are flights you will be able to catch or do a long journey through trekking and bus rides, local people go through bus but normally all tourists catch the plane. This gives you an opportunity to see the highest peak of the World. While you are enjoying becoming a passenger in these flights, there is also a place where you can learn to fly a plane. Flying your own plane is just that bit more exciting than becoming a passenger to enjoy these Mountains and Landscapes.

You will also be able to enjoy other outdoor activities such as trekking, paragliding, white river rafting and more. You will be able to enjoy all the above outdoor activities in a city called Pokhara. Pokhara is the second biggest city of Nepal after Kathmandu. Other than the activities there are other things you will be able to enjoy such as Wildlife in Chitwan, Highest Temple Manakamana, Ancient Palaces in Gorkha.

Montjuic magic fountains at Barcelona

If you are thinking about taking your other half for a romantic weekend this Valentines then I would recommend you to visit Barcelona. If you have visited Barcelona before and your hasn’t then this is a good opportunity to show them around Barcelona as you have already been there.

Barcelona is filled with culture and history, so for romantic getaway or normal holiday this is one of the best cities to be in. To travel to Barcelona from UK you will be able to find cheap flights through Ryan Air and Easy Jet. Once you reach Barcelona there would be many things for you to do for your weekend, to be honest there are so many things to see that you might not have enough time to visit all those places.

With Tibidabo Mountain at the back and a beautiful Mediterranean Sea at the bottom this is one of the ideal places for your romantic getaways. To view the Mountain you can take cable cars which goes up to the old military fort on the top of Montjuic hill and they also do water sportswhich might the thing you look for other than sight seeing.

There are other things you will be able to do in Barcelona. You can catch a tour bus which travels around the city to view the beautiful Antonio Gaudi’s architecture, these buildings are scattered all around the city. Another is the famous long street of Las Ramblas, this is not just a straight road as you get to see so much in this street. Another must see place is gothic quarter for gothic cathedral.

My favorite romantic spot in Barcelona is Montjuic where there is a beautiful water fountain, the video is attached in this post.. It is known as the magical fountain of Montjuic. You will see people from different culture and country in this spot relaxing and enjoying the beautiful view with a smile on their faces. This is the exact spot where I met my other half and we try and make time to visit this place every year to recollect and remember the sweet memories of our first meeting.
