If yes, then the mountains in Nepal are calling you. Nepal is known as the roof of the world because it is home to 8 out of 10 of the world's highest mountains and the best part is, you can climb it all. The sapphire lakes within the valley of these mountains are pleasing to the eyes. Moreover, the sunlight makes the snow sparkle. It looks like a layer of glitter has covered everything you see. Nobody would want to miss such a heavenly sight. You will lose yourself in the beauty and tranquillity of the mountains. In the words of Sir Edmund Hilary, one of the first to climb Mount Everest,
“It is not the mountains we conquer but ourselves.”
