It's not just mountaineers with their hearts set on conquering Everest who fall in love with the Himalayan country of Nepal. With stunning scenery, fringed by the highest peaks on the planet, leading down to steamy jungle packed with wildlife, there's something for everyone. In addition to a distinctive ancient Hindu and Buddhist culture, Nepal has jaw-dropping mountains with spectacular scenery for walkers and trekkers. If there is a hikers' paradise, this is it, with picturesque mountain villages linked by hundreds of trails that have been used for centuries, with little change noticeable even today. Trails are dotted with intriguing temples to discover on the way. In Kathmandu, Internet cafes and swish shops and restaurants stand side by side with centuries-old temples and statue-filled courtyards, particularly in the old town, which stretches from Durbar Square to Thamel, the main hang-out for trekkers and backpackers. Many of Kathmandu's stunning temples and palaces were built during the Malla dynasty from the 13th to 18th centuries, when Kathmandu competed with the rival city-states of Patan and Bhaktapur to build more and more lavish civic monuments. The three kingdoms were finally united under the Shah dynasty in 1768.
