\u201cTourist numbers to Nepal plummeted by 85% after the devastating earthquake, but the country is once more open for business and safe to visit, with a new government-backed website providing official updates on affected areas.\u201d- National Geographic Traveller.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

National Geographic Traveller has released its \u2018Cool List\u2019, that is, the list of 16 must-see destinations for the year 2016. \u00a0These are the list of top spots for culture, cuisine, festive celebration, pristine coastline\u2026.and places to go. Nepal ranks 6th<\/sup> on the list.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Despite the devastating earthquake, the eternally beautiful landscape of Nepal still remains intact to tell the world the tale of the destruction-defying beauty. Neither the rock-solid mountains, hills, water bodies (lakes, rivers, streams, and waterfalls), forests<\/strong> (with indigenous vegetation); nor the people with vibrant culture, language, tradition, festivals and cuisines, have surrendered to the extremities of the disaster. In fact, they stand side-by-side boosting each other\u2019s strengths; overshadowing weaknesses and making Nepal a must-visit destination not just for the year 2016, but for many years to come.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why should Nepal be on your 2016\u2019s travel list?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since the economy of Nepal heavily relies on tourists, this year (2015) the economy (of the country as well as the people) has suffered a dramatic turn-down, after the earthquake. Therefore, tourism is more important than ever for the country as it recovers from the devastating earthquake. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Visiting Nepal now presents you the chance to combine Voluntourism with an adventure holiday in a stunning landscape (as stated by National Geographic Traveller). The dollars that you spend here will directly or indirectly fund relief efforts. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Moreover, if you are looking to be physically involved, you can also combine adventure with a bit of social service by participating in voluntary work, like the reconstruction of houses, schools, and other relief projects, initiated by various non-governmental organizations and the community people. Your small help can change someone\u2019s life for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I guess the above-given reason is enough to consider Nepal as your next destination for the year 2016.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Earthquakes destroy, but not everything\u2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Travelers around the world must be wondering, why Nepal still is on the list of the top 16 must-see destinations of 2016 (as released by National Geographic Traveller), despite the 25th<\/sup> April 2015\u2019s devastating earthquake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
