Follow in the footsteps of Edmund Hillary and journey to the land of Everest, Nepal. Almost entirely isolated from the outside world up until the 1950s, this mountainous kingdom boasts no fewer than eight of the world's ten highest mountains. It’s not all snow-capped vistas though; there are also steamy jungles, the world’s deepest canyon, exotic culture and ancient villages. And if you enjoy trekking, earth offers no better than Nepal’s Annapurna region.
