Inspiration: Nepal

Primary colored prayer flags fluttering in the breeze … bite-sized momos steaming in a bamboo basket … sacred Fishtail Mountain reflecting the sun off its glistening snow-capped peaks … brass singing bowls projecting vibrations targeting each chakra.
 
Nepal is a country of physical beauty and tangible spirituality. Its people are predominantly Hindu and known for their welcoming, friendly dispositions. The diversity found in this land-locked country is vast, and its natural beauty is found in lush rice terraces, expansive mountain ranges, crystalline lakes, and tropical jungles.
 
The buzzing capital city of Kathmandu is packed with UNESCO sites and elaborate courtyards that feature intricate architecture. In Durbar Square, you will find local artisans selling traditional handicrafts, exotic spices, and restorative argan oil. Boudhanath Stupa, one of the most recognizable Buddhist icons, is a massive mandala dome showcasing the symbolic eyes of Lord Buddha. 
 
The range of wildlife found within Nepal’s borders is often surprising. In fact, the country's Big 5 includes the elusive Bengal tiger, endangered one-horn rhino, snow leopard, water buffalo, and revered elephants.
 
In contrast to the mighty peaks of the majestic Himalayas, the lowlands create a perfect setting for a quintessential safari experience—complete with sundowners and sunsets. Traverse Chitwan National Park, a protected jungle by 4x4, boating on the Rapti River, or on foot with an expert naturalist guide.
