Nepal Green Travel
Asia Eco Tourism Travel
For adrenaline junkies everywhere in the world, Nepal is a destination
of serious extremes. Long known for those of spiritual and adventurous
pursuits, Nepal is the ultimate eco tourism hotspot. Incredible natural
vistas, extreme sports, wonderfully rich biodiversity, and the
magnificent culture of Nepal make it the journey of a lifetime. There is
no other green travel location that can offer as much as Nepal does, and
that is not a statement of bravado!
Before eco tourism was even an idea, Nepal has lured foreigners with its
unique landscape, from incredible lowlands to sky-scraping summits.
Bearing the world’s largest mountains, as well as the glorious Mount
Everest, if mountains are your thing, you know this is the one place in
the world that has to be experienced. Also unique to Nepal is its
amazing climate, which ranges from tropical to arctic, there is just so
much to take in. In such a small stretch of land, Nepal is a haven of
biodiversity. 2 percent of the world’s flowering plants exist here,
speaking volumes of the terrain’s richness and beauty. Wildlife is a
major attraction, with more than 847 different species of birds, 185
different mammals, 185 different species of freshwater fish, 100
reptiles, 43 amphibian species, and more than 650 different species of
butterflies that call this country home. Nepal travel can offer
wilderness camping, whitewater rafting, eco tours of the rural
landscapes and countryside, treks through national parks, and of course,
mountaineering the most daunting mountains earth can offer. More than 18
percent of Nepal’s land is reserved as national parks and other
protected areas, and they account for more than 50 percent of Nepal’s
visitors.
One of the mainstays of eco friendly travel, it is as important to
conserve the natural environment as it is to support the culture and
economy of the people who live and work in these places. Culturally,
Nepal is as brilliant as its environment. Since ancient times, the
people have practiced Buddhism and Hinduism here, and much of the
historic architecture reflects these spiritual influences. With their
artisan craftsmanship of bronze casting, the Nepalese create the most
excellent examples of Buddhist and Hindu statuary. Also known for their
woven textiles of brilliant colors, textures, and patterns, Nepalese
hand-loom arts are breathtaking.
As far as sustainable travel goes, that really is the only way to do it
in Nepal. The precious environment, and the robust cultural roots make
it the ideal place to support sustainability and green travel efforts.
Eco tourism, adventure tourism,, and conventional tourism mesh
interchangeably in Nepal because these are the big draws for bringing
people into the country. It is one of the top places on earth to
experience a true eco friendly vacation, while getting your fix of
adrenaline!
