The Himalayas within reach
Nepal is the roof of the world within reach of a short getaway. Between the ancient temples of the Kathmandu Valley, prayer flags snapping in the wind and the silhouette of the planet's highest peaks, the country offers total escape for the Cameroonian traveler. People come for spirituality, trekking and warm hospitality, all on a remarkably gentle budget.
