11．
Visit the ancient kingdom of Nepal（尼泊尔）．
Why not take a holiday somewhere completely different？Visit Nepal-a land of excitement and adventure!From Everest Base Camp high in the Himalayas，to the jungles of the Royal Chitwan National Park，to the ancient city of Bhaktapur，Nepal's amazing scenery and fascinating culture make it a great holiday destination．
Any trip to Nepal starts in the Kathmandu valley，with a visit to the Nepali capital．The old centre of Kathmandu with its crowded old streets and beautiful architecture is very different from the expensive modern hotels，shops and restaurants on the city's outer areas．
The valley is also home to two other cities．Patan is quieter and less crowded than Kathmandu，and is famous for its temples and other old buildings．However，the oldest and probably the most attractive of the three cities is Bhaktapur．Many of its beautiful temples and palaces were built in the seventeenth century，when it was the capital of Nepal．
Travel eight hours by bus west of Kathmandu to reach the beautiful lakeside city of Pokhara．This is a perfect place to relax-row a boat on the lake，read a novel，or just hang out in one of many great restaurants．If you are feeling more energetic，you can go for a three-or four-day journey around Mount Annapurna．
Northeast of Kathmandu，near the border with China，is Mount Everest，the world's tallest mountain．Everest Base Camp is where teams of climbers prepare to climb the mountain，and it is a popular destination for tourists．However，there have been problems with tourists leaving litter at Base Camp-so remember to take your rubbish away with you!
In the south of the country，near the border with India，is the Royal Chitwan National Park．Very different from the cool mountains of the Himalayas，Chitwan is a hot and sticky tropical jungle．In the past，this was where rich British and Nepalese hunters shot elephants，rhinoceros，tigers，leopards and deer，but today all these animals are protected．You can take a tour of the park，riding on the back of an elephant．
