The capital of Nepal, Kathmandu, is a city that integrates its cultural roots, economic activities, and politics into one smooth-flowing capital. It is a notable city rich in heritage and history. As a city that is placed inside a valley with hills encircling it, Kathmandu is home to many ancient temples, along with ancient palaces. Some of the prominent sites include Swayambhunath (Monkey Temple), Boudhanath Stupa, the ancient Kathmandu Durbar Square, and many more temples, which are part of UNESCO Heritage Sites. No matter how much a city is developed, it is a must-see place due to the ancient mysteries preserved within the walls of the city that conceal narrow passageways, aromatic local stores filled with scrumptious food from all over the world, as well as an assorted population.

Trishuli is known for the Trishuli River, which is famous for not slowing down when it comes to white-water rafting and other extreme water sports suitable for adrenaline junkies like me. The town also serves Trishuli is a small valley located near the River. Along with its breathtaking views and exciting activities, Trishuli is also widely known for being the home of the Trishuli Hydropower Station, which is one of the energy contributors to Nepal. Unlike other places, Trishuli is unique due to its terraced hills and small rural villages surrounding the breathtaking landscape.

It is unique for its breathtaking natural beauty, having Phewa Lake, captivating views of the Annapurna mountain ranges, several caves, and waterfalls.
