Nepal

If you're a mountain fan, the Nepal Himalayas are the pinnacle. There are rough trails to Everest, the Annapurnas, and more in the Himalayas, making this a popular place to climb. The end of a long day of hiking in the mountains will be followed by a nice lunch and a cozy lodge. A slice of warm apple pie will also be there
