Every district has a different Nepal. Destinations worth the detour, from Kathmandu's old city to the high-altitude villages of Mustang.
Chitwan
The Chitwan package - airport, resort, jeep safari, elephant bath, cultural show, jeep out - is one of the most efficient tourist experiences in South Asia. What it leaves out is most of the park.
Kathmandu Valley
The tourist buses arrive at Bhaktapur around ten. Before that, the square belongs to the city. A Tuesday morning in Nepal's best-preserved medieval town and what the potters, priests, and schoolchildren do with the space.
