Sagarmatha National park is also home to many animal species like the snow leopard, red panda, Himalayan tahr, black bears, and choral.

It really is one of the best places to visit in Nepal – if you’re looking for tranquil nature and wildlife.

One reason to visit this place? That it is home to the pièce de résistance of the Himalayas, Mount Everest itself!

Besides Pokhara is an amazing place to explore, it often acts as the gateway to the Himalayas.

With green forests, underground caves, beautiful waterfalls, the Valley of Orchids, and the Massif Glaciers, Pokhara literally spoils us, visitors. Especially for the epic sunrises which you can see from this point.

For a tasty bite in the city, pop into Mo2’s Delights which has a whole load of freshly made momos that you’ll love. Read more on our drive back from Pokhara to Kathmandu, here.

The beautiful city of Pokhara is on the shores of Lake Phewa and is best known for its unparalleled views of the snow-capped Annapurna Himalayan range… which, honestly, is more impressive than anything that can be shown in a picture.

I have so many great memories from Pokhara, it truly is one of the best places to visit in Nepal – especially if you’re on a trip around the country.

For breathtaking views of the mighty Himalayas, head to this picturesque hill station in Nepal that really is one of the best places to visit in Nepal – especially if you love the mountains.

Located close to Bhaktapur, Nagarkot is the perfect place to relax and take in the stunning views of eight Himalayan ranges along with spectacular sunrises and sunsets (if the weather holds out).

There are few better places to blow away the cobwebs than Britain's only fully coastal national park, an exquisitely wild, wind-sculpted corner of southwest Wales. The 186-mile Pembrokeshire Coast Path follows the twists and turns of the park's crinkled coastline, serving up spectacular views along the way — not to mention an abundance of opportunities to spot local marine life, including seals, dolphins, and basking sharks.

Snowdonia is synonymous with mountains. After all, it's home to the mighty Mount Snowdon, the tallest peak in Wales. But aside from that windswept colossus, which you can crest via a vintage train that potters to the summit, the national park is also home to a number of beautiful Welsh villages, a collection of glittering waterfalls, and a coastline of fine sandy beaches. Plus, it has some of Europe's most impressive castle ruins, including Castell y Bere, the seat of Welsh kings in the 11th century.

The undulating hills, wooded dales, and captivating coastline of North York Moors National Park are popular with hikers, mountain bikers, and water sports enthusiasts alike. But it's also a magnet for photographers, thanks to its deep, seemingly endless fields of heather, grand old abbeys, and ancient sacred spaces. On the edge of the magical, misty moors, look out for Hayburn Wyke, a little-known rocky cove with its own tumbling waterfall hidden behind deer-filled woodland.

The Broads National Park is often compared to Venice — not because you'll find marble palaces and baroque bridges here, but for the seemingly endless waterways weaving in every direction. In fact, there are 125 miles of them, flowing past adorable hamlets, golden meadows, and ancient monasteries. This tranquil wetland, which is also a haven for some of Britain's rarest birds and butterflies, is best explored by boat over a number of days.

The U.K.'s first-ever national park, the Peak District marks its 70th anniversary in 2021. A gloriously wild pocket of wilderness sewn into the waistline of the U.K. between Manchester and Sheffield, it's known for everything from spectacular limestone valleys to magnificent stately homes (including the Chatsworth House, a.k.a. "The Palace of the Peaks"). The park itself is split into two distinct halves: the Dark Peak, which is higher and wilder, and the White Peak, known for its deep valleys and gorges. The latter also boasts a cluster of caverns and grottos, including Castleton caves — the only place in the world where the semiprecious mineral Blue John is mined.
