Nepal Overview

For the first-time visitor (and, I can assure you, for the repeat visitor as well), a trip to Nepal can be an overwhelming experience. Jet lag and culture shock, thin air and smog, streets with no names and gods with many names all conspire to confuse, challenge, and astound visitors to this Himalayan kingdom. Before you immerse yourself in the cultural crossroads that is modern-day Nepal, it pays to have a clear idea of where you are going and what you want to see and do. This chapter will tell you about some of the best experiences that Nepal has to offer so that you can plan a trip that will fulfill your expectations and be suited to your needs. These selections will, among other things, clue you in to which trek might be right for you, which temples you should not miss, where to stay, where to eat, and what to bring home from your visit. After deciding on an itinerary, tap your reserves for all the patience you can muster, and you just might be ready to explore the kingdom of Nepal. Read More

    When freeskier Kit DesLauriers dropped in at 29,035 feet on Mount Everest in October, she became the first person to ski off the Seven Summits. Kit, her husband, Rob, and photographer JIMMY CHIN—whose exclusive images appear here—also became the first Americans to ski from the top of the world's tallest mountain. Outside correspondent DAVE HAHN, who guided the climb, reports on the epic descent.

    A tourism industry hobbled by years of civil war and political instability looks to rebound as Nepal makes moves toward a lasting peace. Is it finally safe to go back?
  • Over the Top
    outside
    David Sharp's lonely death on Mount Everest revived the old, raging debates about personal ethics and the wisdom of commercially guided climbing. But whatever went right and wrong in 2006, the bottom line remains: You challenge this peak at your own risk, because its punishments are swift, terrible, and blind.
  • Majesty or Travesty
    outside
    It's climbing season again on Everest. And as hundreds of summit hopefuls converge at Base Camp, the great debate persists: Has the Big E become the Big Easy? Alpinists Greg Child and Dave Hahn take sides.
