Nepal is one of the the most beautiful country of Natural Beauty. Natural views from Nepal are seen so beautiful that everyone who see it keep on watching it keeping their mouth open. Some of the places and views detail can be seen below.
Mount Everest
If you want to climb the mount Everest there are several trails available, some of them are easy or some are more difficult..Many climbers come every year and try to suceed. But this is not easy, because many of them get ill because of the altitude. The cold weather makes many victims, and the wind is not easy to bear. K2 i one of the most difficult trail and normal climbers need to be accompanoed by a professional mountain guide. This professional mountain guide costs prety much. The people from Nepal many most of their many from tourism, for example any climber need to obtain a permit that may cost even $20 000.
Most of the untrained climbers have problems in the “death zone”. This are is situated where the mountain has more then 8000 metres hight. If they are not careful how they are equiped, the climbers may suffer frostbite on the extremites of teir body, because the temperatures can get very low. On this part of the trails snow and ice is available, so the tourists may slip and fall. The winds also make many problems to the climbers. Because of the atmospheric pressure the oxygen level in the air is low and cause also problems to the tourists that managed to get thru this zone. This is why it is better that climbers use supplementary oxygen, with some special masks and bottled oxygen. In 1922 was the first time that some climbers succeeded to climg the Mount Everest with the help of bottled oxygen.
The flora and fauna is poor on this mount, because of its high altitude. Some species of birds have benn seen here, as for example the Bar-headed Goose and Chough.
Nagarkot
Among all the places for mountain viewing in the Kathmandu Valley, Nagarkot is usually considered to be the best. The views go from Dhaulagir in the west to Kanchenjunga in the east. On a clear day you can see Mt. Everest (Sagarmatha). You can also see Manaslu (8,463m), Ganesh Himal (7,111m), and Langtang (7,246m). Many people go up to Nagarkot in the afternoon, stay in a hotel in Nagarkot, and then get up at dawn to see the Himalaya Mountains during the sunrise.
Nagarkot is 32 kilometres east of Kathmandu, on the northeast edge of the Valley at an elevation of 2,175m. It is best to view the mountains in the early morning because it is more likely to be clear. There is a viewing tower next to the Club Himalaya Resort, where you get good views that has a coffee shop where you can sit inside. Many of the hotels also have good views.
There is a lookout tower south of the village where you can get a 360ยบ view of the scenery. It is an easy one hour walk from the main hotel area. To get there you have to pass an army checkpoint, and they will only let you past in the morning.
You can go to Nagarkot in the afternoon and stay over night and view the mountain at sun rise.
You can usually get a good view of the mountains between October and March. During the monsoon from June to September it is unlikely to get a view of the mountains. Nagarkot can be much colder than in Kathmandu, especially in the winter.
There are some pleasant walks in the area. There are several good walk to or from Nagarkot. Many people take a bus or taxi up to Nagarkot and then walk down. Some good walks are down to Sankhi, Sundarijal, Changu Narayan, Bhaktapur, or to Banepa.
You have to pass through Bhaktapur to get to Nagarkot, so you could go to Bhaktapur in the early afternoon and go to Nagarkot for the sunset or to stay over-night.
Most people stay here for just one night. The main area of town is just a group of hotels.
Annapurna, a collosal masiff is placed as the tenth tallest mountain in the world. Kali Gandaki river segregates Annarpurna mountain range from the great gorge that slices through the Himalayas. Range of Mount Annapurna holds huge glaciers on its slopes.

Highlights
The trek to Annapurna mountain takes the tourists very very close to nature. The trek is a marvellous combination of being spiritually soothing and highly adventurous. The following places are the trek's highlights.
- Pewa Lake Pokhara
- Gurung Villages, Langdrung and Gandrung
- Hinko Cave
- Bamboo Forests
- Machapuchare Base Camp
- Annapurna Base Camp
Fewa Lake ( Tal)
The eastern Pokhara Valley receives irrigation water through a canal running from a reservoir by the Seti River in the north of the city. Phewa Lake is also used for commercial fishing. The tourist area is along the north shore of the lake (Lake Side and Dam Side). It is mainly made up of little shops, little hotels, restaurants and bars. The larger hotels can be found on the southern and south-eastern fringes of the Pokhara city, from where the view of the mountains, mainly Machapuchare, or Fishtail Mountain, is seen best. To the east of the valley are few smaller and few bigger lakes, the largest being Begnas Tal and Rupakot Tal. Begnas Tal is also known for its fishery projects.
Phewa Lake was slightly enlarged by damming. It is in danger of silting up because of the inflow during the monsoon. The outflowing water is partially used for hydro power. The dam collapsed in the late 1970s and it was rebuilt by the Chinese. The power plant is located about 100 m (330 ft) below at the bottom of the Phusre Khola gorge.
Rara Lake (Tal)
Rara is an unique spot in Nepal. The lake is situated in the Rara National Park and because of its remote location and the violence/threat of a revolutionary communist group (Maoists) the lake has been visited by only few tourists in the past. Only in the second half of 2006 the situation improved and foreign visitors do not need to pay the high fee of around $100 per person to these Maoists anymore.
Due to its remoteness the surroundings of Rara Lake are both poor and quite unspoiled, which, for such a beautiful place, is very unusual in an era of extensive traveling and booming tourist business world wide. We hope the Nepali government, local residents, travel agencies and tourists will make efforts to conserve this area. Attention for the conservation is especially important at this very moment (year 2007/2008), since Rara might face a rise in the number of visitors now the region is more accessible and tourists will start searching for alternatives to the Annapurna region now roads are (being) build on both sides of the famous Thorong La pass, making the Annapurna Circuit Trekking and the Jomsom-Muktinath trekking less attractive.
Kanchanjunga Himal
Above the tree lines the views become more dramatic as we travel to the northern base camp - Pangpema, with the mighty north face of the mountain dominating all. On the way to Pangpema we cross a series of high passes as we move to the east – with their stunning views and will bring us to Tseram. The views on the trek are incredible: Kanchenjunga (8586m), Kambachen (7903m), Pyramid Peak (7123m), Tent Peak (7365m), Yalung Kang (8505m). This is one of the best treks available in Nepal: for those seeking a challenge, this walk is surely going to be a classic.
