Honeymoon in Nepal
By arrna Published: 09/16/2010
If you are looking for a little bit of adventure, romance and natural beauty for your honeymoon, then Nepal is the perfect destination for you. Nepal has it all: from secluded resorts to highly populated cities; himals (mountains) and hills; lakes and rivers; wild jungles and ancient cities; long lasting romantic monsoons, anything that excites you.
Nepal is better known as the land of colorful cultures, ancient history and wonders of Mother Nature. You can scale the heights together in Nepal which is the home to the highest mountains in the world. Every honeymooner is enchanted by this beautiful land and its natural beauty. You can find in abundance wildlife and floral forests, terraced farms carved off the hillside, gushing rivers and waterfalls and the ever-present aura of the majestic Himalayas.
The beautiful Nepal has it all - colorful cultures, ancient history and friendly people, superb scenery and wonders of Mother Nature at its very best. You can browse through the capital city of Kathmandu which is a throbbing Cosmo polis where you can spend many an hour enjoying the rush of adrenalin at one of the famous casinos, browsing through the bazaars and shopping malls, and dining at the amazing eating joints. Alternatively, you can also visit the ancient city of Patan, with its rich cultural legacy; Bhaktapur, the city of devotees; Pokhra, with its gorgeous lake, a take-off point for trekkers, rafters and mountaineers; Chitwan, the wildlife paradise where you can live in the lap of nature or the lap of luxury; Tansen and Gorkha with their panoramic Himalayan views; and Lumbini with its Buddhist heritage. Nepal has a little of everything for that special honeymoon experience
Travel docs
Passports are mandatory for all but Indians, who can use a voter’s identity card or drivers’ license for identification. Nepal issues 60-day single-entry visas but getting an extension is usually easy.
Getting there
The only international airport in Nepal is Kathmandu’s Tribhuvan International. You can enter Nepal by road through the Indian border at one of the numerous entry points at Kakkarbhitta (West Bengal), Biratnagar (Bihar), Birgunj (Bihar), Sunauli, Nepalgunj, Dhanagadi and Mahendranagar (all across the border from Uttar Pradesh).
Getting around
Nepal is well connected by domestic air services. Helicopters can be chartered at Kathmandu. Kathmandu is easy to get around by bus, taxi and rented cars. Outside Kathmandu there are only chauffeured services available. Bike hire at tourist hot spots and middling sized market towns is quite easy. Train services are woefully inadequate.
Best season
Autumn (late September-November) and spring (February-April) are the best seasons in Nepal. Pleasant breezes sweep the plains and while autumn brings the hectic festival season, spring (February-April) brings the bloom of flowers to the countryside. The best time for trekking is between October and May, when the weather is relatively stable. For the newly weds we suggest the rainy season from June to August.
Accommodation
Luxury accommodation is at a premium in Nepal and restricted to Kathmandu, Pokhra and Chitwan. Five star properties are present only in Kathmandu. Much accommodation in Nepal is mid-rung and distinctly domestic in flavour. Along trekking trails there are few options apart from camping. Tariffs range from US$15-30 for economy rooms, to $100-200 for deluxe.A foreign couple enjoying their honeymoon in Nepal.
