Nepal is a a fascinating place if you are looking for ancient history mixed with trekking and adventure exploration. Bhaktapur, the third of the “Royal Cities,” lies on the old trade route to Tibet, just outside of Kathmandu. For Bhaktapur, the trade route was both an arterial link and major source of wealth. Its relative remoteness at the time allowed the city to develop independently and in ways which distinguish it from the other two cities. In contrast to Patan and Kathmandu, the population of Bhaktapur is primarily Hindu. The best place from which to begin a tour of the city is Durbar Square, where in addition to the royal palace, several temples are also situated. The whole area is an UNESCO World Heritage Site. Many of the buildings in Durbar Square in Bhaktapur were damaged in the 2015 earthquake.
Trekking in Nepal with your family members is the best way to enjoy the Himalayan beauty and make your trip full of lifetime experience. There’s no reason to put off trekking in the Himalayas until the kids have left home. Aside from the amazing landscapes, cultural and wildlife vegetation awaiting you. It’s dubious that you’d deliberately hire someone to carry your child while trekking anywhere else, but this is entirely possible in Nepal. In Nepal trekking with your children is possible even the trekking route is difficult for the very your children by carrying them with you. Horse riding is one of the option to do so. Nepalese people are very welcoming of children. Your kids will likely have the best experience of the warm welcome and remember the friendly people as much as the scenery.
